Unto Us a Child Is Born by Pepper Choplin — Lyrics
About Unto Us a Child Is Born
"Unto Us a Child Is Born" is a bright, majestic choral anthem that brings the famous prophetic words of Isaiah to life. With its classical feel and driving rhythmic energy, it captures the sheer joy and anticipation of the Christmas season. The piece builds beautifully, layering the titles of Christ—Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Almighty God, and the Prince of Peace—into a triumphant, celebratory proclamation.
For a choir, this is a magnificent piece to present during Christmas concerts, carol services, or as a festive anthem during the Christmas season. The orchestration adds a regal weight to the voices, making it a thrilling experience for both the singers in the loft and the congregation listening below. It is a song that demands crisp diction and joyful energy, perfectly fitting the celebration of the Nativity.
