Advent Overture powerfully sets 'Veni, Emmanuel' and 'Savior of the Nations, Come' in this fresh, yet familiar new arrangement written with intermediate players in mind. Earthly decrees swirl and the rage of nations are powerless to stop that marvelous moment when boundaries between Heaven and earth blur, when Divine and human blend!
