Ballads have been used throughout history to tell a story through music. Pepper Choplin has long used his signature musical voice to tell the meaningful stories of our faith, so it’s especially fitting that he’s brought the timeless story of Christmas alive once more with The Ballad of Bethlehem. Available for SATB or SAB choirs with rehearsal aids and accompaniment options ranging from piano only to a thrilling full orchestra written by Michael Lawrence to recorded tracks, this stunning cantata dramatically moves from a recollection of ancient prophecies through the quiet manger scene to its joyous conclusion featuring a rousing call to “Shout with the Shepherds!” This season, let the folk-like energy of Pepper Choplin’s unique voice bring The Ballad of Bethlehem to you and your listeners. “O sing a ballad of Bethlehem. I want to hear it once more. I love that story so often told to generations before.”.
