Jesse Tree
Written to be used during an Advent
prayer service involving children, Jesse Tree is a simple but
powerful song linking the four weeks of Advent. For example, the first
week tells the stories of Noah, Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph. Jesse Tree is
a "cumulative song, like The Twelve Days of Christmas. Each refrain
gets progressively longer, until, by the final week, the children are able
to mentally "step back and see the whole amazing story of salvation.
The song is intended to be used along with the presentation of symbols,
which are placed on the Jesse Tree by the children.
The full score, used by the leader,
keyboard player, and cantor, contains the full music: vocals, keyboard,
guitar chord symbols, bass, flute, and handbells. (A separate edition is
planned for guitar and bass, which will also include a simplified piano
part ideal for a student. Separate parts will also be available for flute
and handbells.) The full-score edition also contains introductory material
about the different ways the song can be used, along with four complete
Advent paraliturgies.
The Singers Edition contains the parts
that are to be sung by the participants. (Cantor verses are found only in
the full score.)
Jesse Tree is sure to enhance
the joyful season of Advent for your children for years to come.
