Emmanuel Shall Come to Thee is a Chicagoland collective of musicians led by composer Matthew Prins. The group incorporates classical, folk, new-age, orchestral, jazz, and minimalist influences into their progressive interpretations of familiar works.

Featuring 19 new holiday arrangements and compositions by Matthew Prins, Emmanuel Shall Come to Thee's 2009 Christmas album Noël fuses a myriad of influences into a Christmas album quite unlike any heard before. Performed primarily by Prins and multi instrumentalist A.J. Nelson, Noël features a harmonious blend of handbells, handchimes, carillon, strings, woodwinds, and brass, as well as the talents of vocalist Amy Yassinger.

Matthew Prins is an active composer and arranger of religious and secular sheet music, with over 10,000 copies sold and over 30 works published or accepted for publication.
