This arrangement presents this well-known Chrismas or Advent hymn in a new and refreshing style that is so beautifully enabled by a string quartet. The piece begins with an anticipatory style reflective of the lyrics O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.... It then builds to a celebratory style consistent with the refrain's Rejoice! Rejoice!. Then, as the piece closes, it calms again to a warm and introspective style similar to the beginning. This piece is well suited for church and school quartets or larger string ensembles.

This string setting is unique in its transformation from its usual hymn-like setting to a graceful and melodically flowing string style. This piece creates a musical progression from the somber Were you there when they crucified my Lord toward a final joyful and emphatic presentation on the thought, Were you there when God raised Him from the dead! This is a beautiful piece for Christian worship gathering, or sacred concert - especially during the Easter/Lenten season.
