GENERAL ANTHEMS
l A Song of Joy and Praise—Allan Robert
Petker. Based on Psalm 98:1-4, this ancient
praise psalm is redressed in modern classical
sounds by Allen Petker. Intertwined is the canonic
melody, O Music, from 19th century hymn writer
Lowell Mason. The combination honors music as
the educational value Mason professed, along
with praise to God for skillful singing the psalmist
scribed. A substantive piece with optional
handbell and children's choir.

spirituals, this energetic piece is flexibly voiced,

lL Standin' in the Need of Prayer (from Three
Folk Hymns)—Gwyneth Walker. Scored for
SATB choir, children's choir and piano, this
lively tune is set in a swing rhythm. New text
is added and it becomes evident during the
singing that the choir feels that they are in the
greatest need of prayer as they sing "Not you!"
(pointing at the congregation) and exclaiming
"It's me!" Children's voices are added throughout
and take on the descant at the end. A fun and
rousing setting!

Steal Away—arr. Gwyneth Walker. Steal Away
interprets the traditional spiritual Steal Away to
Jesus as a song of alternating sorrow and strength.
The refrains are presented quietly and mournfully:
"Steal away to Jesus. I ain't got long to stay here."
In contrast, the verses are sung with conviction:
"My Lord calls me, calls me by the thunder."
Similarly, the accompaniment varies from florid
arpeggiations (for the refrains) to rhythmic chordal
entrances (for the verses). Of special interest is the
use of scale patterns. In the opening refrain, and
on every occurrence of the words "steal away," the
scales descend, marked as falling tears, or stealing
away. At the conclusion of the song, the scales rise,
as the soul ascending to heaven. "My Lord calls
me, calls me home."
