Three elements are woven together in this chant: an original lyric, a tune from the 13th-century liturgical work, “The Play Of Daniel,” and a setting of O Come, O Come Emmanuel. Taken as a whole, the ancient, timeless history of Christmas time shines through.

Set as a muscular, contemporary retelling of one of the most ancient of holidays, this men’s chorus rock anthem focuses on the history, legacy, and epoch-spanning richness of The Festival Of Lights. If you’re wanting a musical representation of Hanukkah that is anything but “cute,” this is it.
The adage nothing exceeds like excess is inarguably true, and bears out all through the holiday season.

From Thus Sprach Zarathustra to the Anvil Chorus to Ride Of The Valkyries — and more! — this mashup of holiday humor and musical cannon fire is a pull-out-all-the-stops treat for everyone within earshot!
