Instrumental Videos for Advent

During the COVID pandemic we created four Advent instrumental videos, on the themes of hope, peace, joy and love. All four are piano and violin recordings accompanied by sensitive imagery. The violin parts are played by two fine musicians I’ve had the pleasure of working with over the years, so special thanks to Rheana Slack and Marie-Andrée Gray.

These videos are free for anyone to use. At our own church services, we used them as Preludes for our Advent online services, but I’m sure there are other creative ways to use them as well. If users have licences with either One License or CCLI, please report your usage in the normal way. Even if they are not used in services, you may wish to consider adding them to your holiday listening/watching lists. RK

Advent 1 – HOPE Advent 2 – PEACE Advent 3 – JOY Advent 4 – LOVE
