Child of God—Mark A. Miller. This anthem has all you've come to expect
from Mark Miller: resonant lyrics combined with a soulful melody. Mixed choirs
of all ages and sizes will enjoy singing this Gospel ballad. The bridge brings the
piece to a powerful climax: "There is no thing, or no one, that can separate you
from the truth that you're someone - you are family; you are meant to be a child
of God." Includes an optional congregational part for use in worship. Great for
any service with a peace and justice focus, as well as baptismal celebrations.

Deep Waters—Pepper Choplin. Reminiscent of an old American folk hymn,
this is special in that it includes a verse of congregational singing, yet the work is
a cappella. With easy choral writing, it effectively tells the story of Jesus calling
his disciples, and will be useful for Baptisms as well as general services.

Down in the River to Pray—arr. David Mennicke. With its emphasis on
the simple choral sounds that undergird the melody, this stoic arrangement of the
southern gospel hymn is a strong addition to the repertoire of a cappella works
for mixed choir. Divisi men's chords and open fifths lay a strong foundation for
the melody to shine. Accessible and rich sounding, this is a superb selection that
can be used in worship settings, concert appearances and festival activities.

moments of beauty. An accessible anthem with character and nuance.

Borning Cry—John Yvlisaker/arr. Kadidlo. "I was there to hear your borning
cry, I'll be there when you are old." Here is a quiet song of assurance for God's
gentle leading in a person's life - even before a child is aware that God is there.
A lyric gem for two-part mixed voices, it includes a whisper of Jesus Loves Me
and a haunting solo on soprano saxophone, which can be played by any other
C instrument. A fine choice for Baptisms or Home and Family Sundays.
