After some helpful correspondence with another member of ths forum I have decided to add Thompson's "The Nativity According to St. Luke". Some sources call this work an opera but Thompson hoped that it would receive performances in church on a regular basis.

Symphony n.2 exists also on Sony (Bernstein and NYPO)
