The Promise of a King
A Christmas Proclamation of Hope
Composers:
Lloyd Larson (Composer)

Pamela Martin (Narrator)
Brant Adams (Orchestrator)
Description:
Old Testament prophets foretold of the Messiah who would be sent by God to
earth. Those awaiting the fulfillment of that prophecy believed this
promised One would come with power and might to conquer and assume a kingly
throne. God's plan, though, was that the promised King would take the form
of a baby and change the world not with might, but by the power of love.
Lloyd Larson and Joseph M. Martin combine their composing talents to create
this fresh and inspired look at the Christmas story. Pamela Martin's
narration blends a powerful script with new and familiar melodies in this
Christmas proclamation of hope.
