O Come, O Come, Emmanuel - New Arrangement for Flexible Instrumentation Now Available

We've started listening to Christmas music in our house (Yes, it’s October) - there's just too much good music to listen to in one month! In that spirit, I'm pleased to announce the release of a new arrangement of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, scored for 8-part flexible instrumentation with optional piano and percussion.
