Performance Notes
Waiting in Silence is a song for the Advent season: the season of waiting in hope. We have used it
primarily at the Preparation of the Gifts, as a response to the homily. It can also be used during
Communion or as a meditation song after Communion. The choral arrangement enhances the beauty
of the song and reaches a dramatic climax in verse 5 on the text bloom in our midst. The song
reaches its full potential when it is sung by the assembly with an adult choir leading.
