Adult Choir
Anthem of Rejoicing—Joseph M. Martin.
This vigorous general-use anthem is a
sturdy addition to the choir folder. Solid
four-part writing gives a neoclassic texture,
while strong unison singing delivers power
and confidence to the singers. The middle
section incorporates lines from beloved
hymns, tossing them back and forth with the
anthem's main theme. Add in the optional
handbells for a dazzling effect! Delightful!

Appalachian Grace—arr. Diane Hannibal
& Joel Raney. The early American tune
LAND
OF REST receives new text that includes quotes
from For the Beauty of the Earth and Amazing
Grace. An engaging piano groove provides a
rustic underpinning for the vocals, sounded
first in unison and then with two-part choir.
The original refrain opens up to an engaging
four-part section that showcases the choir and
provides a memorable close.

worship. The familiar music is paired with a
new text: "Come before the Giver, bringing
songs of grateful praises." Reliable part-
writing employs good choral tessituras, with
a descant on the final verse. The keyboard
accompaniment can be supplemented by an
optional instrumental package.
