God Is Singing
Joseph M. Martin.
Here's an anthem full of stylistic diversity! A dramatic opening with
divided choir gives way to rhythmic mixed meter, followed by a
contrasting hymn-like section. A great crescendo returns to the theme,
driving to the end as the choir proclaims, "Our God is singing over you."

I'd Rather Have Jesus
George Beverly Shea/arr. Marianne Forman.
New life has been breathed into this classical gospel song with a creative
and reverent piano accompaniment that propels the piece forward.
Women's voices start the piece in a lovely unison, followed by a four-part
refrain. Men's voices sing the second stanza, followed by an optional a
cappella third stanza filled with rich part-writing. An optional violin part
is included.

In the Savior's Care
Children of the Heavenly Father/
Beneath Your Wings, Lord Jesus
arr. Larry Shackley.
Based upon a piano arrangement from the collection Folk Hymns for Four
Hands, this choral piece is a winner! Lush choral textures abound, and the
exquisitely written piano part is reminiscent of Brahms. Featuring two folk
melodies,
TRYGGARE KAN INGEN VARA and BRED DINA VIDA VINGAR, this piece
will be meaningful for special services of encouragement and comfort.

Jesus Will Remain
Amber R. Maxwell/arr. Heather Sorenson.
The unchangeable character of God is the subject of this impressive
anthem. With a feel of an early American hymn tune, enhanced by optional
oboe, the anthem builds to affirm, "I stand firm on the rock that is Jesus.
He will never change." An anthem of reassurance in troubled times.

Diverse in Culture, Nation, Race
MO GHILE MEAR
arr. Mark Scozzafave.
This prayer for unity is paired with a traditional Irish melody. The
arrangement may be presented in a prayerful, reverent legato style during
offertory or a brighter tempo and more spirited energy better suited for a
gathering moment. C instrument and cello parts, plus a guitar edition with
capo chords and vocal harmony are available. Consider adding traditional
Irish instruments to add authenticity to the overall sound.

Divine Encounter: I. The Invitation
Craig Courtney.
The first movement of the trilogy Divine Encounter is a song in which God
invites us to receive His bounty. The first verse of Isaiah 55 is expressed
as a celebration rather than the meditative, lyric manner found in most
settings. In contrast, the setting of the sixth verse is regal, earnest, and
authoritative; the architecture of the movement is built upon the contrast
between these two styles.

Divine Encounter: II. The Offering
Craig Courtney.
The second movement of the trilogy Divine Encounter is based on Micah
6:8 and is a regal and stately expression of our gratitude. As we partake
of God's bounty, we are urged to offer ourselves as living sacrifices to
serve God and people alike.

Divine Encounter: III. The Blessing
Craig Courtney.
The third movement of the trilogy Divine Encounter is a newly composed
benediction based on the traditional text from Numbers 6:24-26. As
Jesus blessed and multiplied the fish and bread, so God blesses the
offering we bring to Him. The melody, which is one huge arc, is stated
twice, creating a simple, sincere message of peace and rest.

Fear Not, for I Have Redeemed You

and graceful harmony. Delicate and refined, this anthem is an appropriate
choice for any service in which redemption and salvation are the themes.
