before God asking, "what can I offer, what can I
bring?" The familiar words build to a strong high
point as the choir sings, "to strive for justice, to act

is a strong anthem that challenges the church
to find her unity and calling. The chorus brings
the theme into focus: "We are the Church, we
are the Bride, we are the lost who've been fully
justified." There is a strong crescendo of purpose
as this piece develops, and the final chorus
sings like a sacred concerto with piano and choir
proclaiming confidence in Christ. Some vocal
divisi allows larger groups to fully engage, while
the thoughtful part-writing and ranges encourage
smaller ensembles.

White Moth—Patrick Hawes. This piece was
commissioned by the owners of the Norfolk Wherry
yacht White Moth to celebrate the centenary of
its construction. It was premiered in July 2015 at
Ranworth Church, Norfolk, U.K. with the Wherry
moored yards away. The choir sings words written
specially by Patrick's brother Andrew Hawes
which are full of soft and colourful imagery and
depict the quiet majesty of the River Bure as well
as the graceful character of the wherry itself. The
transparent string writing together with the flowing
harp figurations create a watery sound world.
10913508 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.75

The Word—Patrick Hawes. The profound opening
words of Saint John's Gospel, used in The Word,
reach back to the beginning of creation, and the
music is therefore mystical and subdued until the
phrase "in him was life." From this point on, the
feeling is one of bright optimism and confidence
in the light of Christ. Perfect as an anthem at any
time of the year but especially at Midnight Mass on
Christmas Eve when this reading is proclaimed.

child, this piece captures the charm of Warner's text
and raises it to new heights in a timeless anthem of
devotion. Now available in an SSAA voicing.

Your Church to All—John Purifoy. This work is
a celebration of the Church and its outreach! At
a time when so much can divide us, this piece
throws opens the door of grace and mercy and
proclaims the good news to all. A noble musical
approach touches this text with dignity as it moves

is accentuated by rich harmonies that engage the
heart and the mind, and an opportunity to include
the congregation brings the imagery of unity to
fruition in the climatic moments of the anthem.

song. This arrangement takes the masterwork and

It has very little divisi, great vocal ranges and a
supportive piano accompaniment. Impressive in
concert or festival settings. Don't miss it!
