D Alleluia! Sing Alleluia—J.S. Bach/arr. John
Leavitt. Adapted from a Bach cantata, this
joyful work will allow younger ensembles the
opportunity to experience Baroque music and
develop important performance techniques
for tone, style and expression. A superb
training piece, it is also an excellent selection
for festival choirs and contests. Equally
appropriate for concert or worship settings for
any combination of treble voices.

Amazing Grace—arr. Benjamin David
Knoedler. This marvelous new arrangement of
the classic hymn begins with children "oohing"
the melody over a quiet piano accompaniment.
Their sustained "oohs" continue while the
piano takes a verse. Two sung verses are
followed by the hymn ending as gently as it
began. This is a lovely, effective arrangement
of the familiar hymn that can be sung by adults
as well as children.

l Amazing Grace for the Lost Lamb—Ruth
Elaine Schram. This tender anthem tells
the Parable of the Lost Sheep with beautiful
vocal lines in a pleasing meter. The second
stanza is a setting of Amazing Grace, which
complements the message with "I once was
lost, but now am found." The two melodies
combine to provide a lovely partner song,
reinforcing independent singing in each part.
A gentle unison ending sweetly expresses,
"Jesus carried me home to the fold."

l Amazing Grace -with- Praise, Praise,
Praise the Lord—Becki Slagle Mayo. Filled
with joyful rhythm, the merging of two favorites
makes for a winning combination! The piece
opens with the Cameroon processional Praise,
Praise, Praise the Lord, which transitions
seamlessly into Amazing Grace and infuses
the beloved hymn with jubilant energy. Becki's
optional harmony is a wonderful stepping
stone for emerging part singers.

And Fireflies—Mark Burrows. This

innocence of God's world. Text and melody are
knit together in a reminder that God's light is
always shining through creation: the sun, the
moon, the stars... and fireflies. Four optional
handbells or handchimes add the perfect
amount of sparkle as children's voices shine
in their own soaring melody. Consider visual or
lighting effects to complement this anthem in
worship or concert.

Clap Your Hands!—Jeff Reeves. Psalm
47:1 is the inspiration for this jubilant call for
all people to praise and serve God. A strong

second voice part are easy to learn with

kickoff, choral festival, the Epiphany season, or
any celebratory occasion.

Come, Let Us Sing—Becki Slagle Mayo
& Lynn Shaw Bailey. Psalm 100 is given an
energetic and joyful treatment in this original
anthem from two masterful composer/
arrangers. The addition of the optional
second part provides a descant-like feel,
giving the opportunity to sing pure vowels on
the word "alleluia." This is a great selection
for any time of year but is especially perfect
for Thanksgiving.

bring special beauty to a gentle life lesson.

A delightful anthem of trust! With a memorable syncopated

learn important Bible truths from Psalm 56 and Proverbs
3. An optional easy descant offers an opportunity for
developing choirs to experience part-singing for the first

Light of the Son
Kimberly Ingram/arr. Joe Milton.
This memorable anthem offers a message of advocacy,
compassion, and generosity. The catchy melody is such fun to
sing, especially alongside the fantastic instrumental track. The
repeated phrase, "I don't know your name, but Jesus loves
us the same, and we stand together as one in the light of the
Son" can bring about meaningful discussions of how we are
different yet the same. Makes a great theme anthem for an
outreach or service project, Sunday school unit, choir kick-off,
or Vacation Bible School.
