Advent Gathering Rite

Similar to the Gathering Rites found in Christian Worship Supplement, this gathering rite for Advent features familiar Advent hymn tunes, Advent-appropriate responses drawn from throughout Scripture, and confession and absolution. Forming the musical backbone of the rite and interspersed throughout it are the stanzas (sung by congregation) from CWS 704 "Lo, He Comes With Clouds Descending" (HELMSLEY). The music underpinning spoken portions of the rite includes ST. THOMAS; NUN KOMM, DER HEIDEN HEILAND; PICARDY; and MEINEN JESUM LASS ICH NICHT—all tunes from the Advent section of Christian Worship: A Lutheran Hymnal. Manthe has skillfully woven together the musical aspects of this rite for smooth transitions, and has chosen tunes that are both familiar and complementary to the spoken portions of the rite. Includes full score for the worship accompanist, RTF text file of the entire rite, and TIFF files for the stanzas of "Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending" to make bulletin preparation simple. Price includes permission to reproduce the text and tiff files in a service bulletin. This permission only applies to one congregation and is non-transferable.
