| | SCRIPT PREVIEW | | | Synopsis | | These behind-the-scenes glimpses reveal the origins behind our beloved Christmas carols. Included are four sketches: 1. "Joy to the World"—A sickly Isaac Watts penned this carol and others, attracting the attention of a young woman via the "old Internet" (post office). 2. "O Come, All Ye Faithful"—An unknown monk composed it in Latin; Rev. Frederick Oakeley assigned it the words we sing today. 3. "What Child Is This?"—Despite a raging chest cold, William Chatterton Dix penned new lyrics to a familiar tune. 4. "O Little Town of Bethlehem"—The lyricist visited the sleepy little town of Bethlehem in 1865. The tune came in the middle of the night to a procrastinating composer. The sketches may be performed sequentially over the Sundays of Advent or together for a special program or sing-along. | | | Related Titles: | | A collection of 30 monologues inspired by Christmas carols A small-cast play with music A "live Nativity"/candlelight presentation for Christmas Eve A service of Advent/Christmas worship with audience participation |
