"Angel and Star" for high voice and keyboard (organ or piano) is a joyful Christmas piece, suitable as a solo during the season. Troeger’s lyrics compares the birth of Christ with the star pointing the way towards the light and asks us to sing in the choir that follows his lead.The accompaniment sparkles underneath legato melodies for a medium high voice.

Angel and star
Music and light:
Gifts for the child
Born in the night.
Sing with the choir,
Greeting the birth.
Deepen their song,
Live it on earth.
Shine with the star,
Send out its ray.
In the deep dark
Brighten the way.
Sing with the choir
Gladden the night
Shine with the star,
Point to the light.
