ADULT CHOIR
ADVENT ANTHEMS
An Advent Acclamation
Stacey Nordmeyer.
Practical and artful, this re-tooling of the popular tune
Besanon Carol is an ideal processional for Advent.
Arranged with success in mind, this introit will ring
in the services of the season with a joyful lilt. Church
choirs of every size will find this selection appealing and
the optional handbells will add a special touch. Stylish!

Advent Fanfare
Lloyd Larson.
A festive introit for the season of lights is unveiled
in this new collaborative anthem. Incorporating
VRUECHTEN, a hymn theme typically associated with
Eastertide, this re-thinking places a substantial
celebrative melodic gesture into your winter
sanctuaries. With the cry "The Lord is coming,
prepare the way," the anthem starts its journey to
worship and adoration. Strong vocal unisons and
fulfilling harmonies triumphantly lift the spirit and
call us to purpose. The distinctive "alleluias" are the
crowning glory of this tune and so it is in this brilliant
new processional.

Are You the One?
David Haas.
The composer envisions this piece in the format of a
question and answer: the refrain provides the question
and the verses follow with the answers. This text
is taken from the Gospel of Matthew and portrays
themes of hope and rejoicing. There is a beautiful
sense of flow and lyricism throughout; the unison with
descant voicing makes this easily accessible.

Canticle
of Peace
Nunc Dimittis
John Purifoy.
Known as the Canticle
of Simeon, these
enduring words from
the Gospel of Luke
have been sensitively
set in this quietly
moving prayer song.
The option to begin the
piece a cappella, with
moderate dissonance and a touch of Latin combine
for an eloquent effect.

Christmas Is Coming
arr. Joel Raney.
Infectious and jazzy, with a dash of handbells
(included) thrown in for good measure, this original
piece will bring enjoyment to all who hear it! A verse
of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel is blended in the
middle with excellent effect. Joyful and charming, this
piece will be a highlight of the Christmas season.

Come, Messiah!
Lloyd Larson.
This buoyant anthem by Lloyd Larson will be readily
learned and appreciated by choirs large or small. "O
come, Divine Messiah, the world in silence waits the
day when hope shall sing its triumph, and sorrows
flee away." The delightful piano accompaniment along
with optional oboe and light percussion make this
fresh consideration for Advent.

Come, Thou Long
Expected Jesus
arr. John Behnke.
The Charles Wesley text Come, Thou Long Expected
Jesus paired with the tune
JEFFERSON has a standard
place in denominational hymnals. John Behnke has
created a simple setting of this essential piece of
Advent repertoire. This choral setting is accessible
and easy to teach.

Come, Thou Long
Expected Jesus
Pamela Robertson/arr. Heather Sorenson.
This musical reboot of the classic Wesleyan Advent
text is very different from other versions. The piano
announces instantly the robust qualities of this theme
in minor mode. The slower, chantlike middle section
offers contrast with layers of sonority. The opening
returns as the piece comes to a great ending. Original!

Emmanuel, Come
arr. John Helgen.
Straightforward choral parts and a rhythmic up-tempo
piano accompaniment make this anthem a great new
addition to your Advent worship! The familiar melody
of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel gets a two-part
mixed metrical treatment with extended melodic lines,
leading into three- and four-part harmony on the
refrain. A new twist on a classic!

Gaelic Alleluia
arr. Craig Courtney.
The ancient hymn tune
PUER NOBIS comes from
Ireland, and this celebratory anthem takes the melody
- and listener - back to its Irish roots! With four-hand
piano accompaniment and a tambourine for color, this
setting contains two text options: one for Easter and
another for Advent. In either season (or both), it is
sure to surprise your congregation as an enthusiastic
celebration of joy! Now available for treble and tenor/
bass choirs.

this well-known Advent hymn; a piano part supports
and enriches the choir's singing.

Let All Mortal Flesh
Keep Silence
arr. Joel Raney.
This easily-learned Advent anthem has a simple
accompaniment provided by six handbells. The
exquisite hymn melody is presented in a simple three-
stanza form with a minimum of part singing, and the
transparent bell accompaniment gives it an effective,
chant-like feel.

Love's Pure Light
Joel Raney.
Designed to support the lighting of the Advent
candles, this includes a choral opening, followed by
a call and response litany with piano underscore,
then a text to be read with the lighting of the candle.
As that concludes, the choir comes back in with the
option of adding the congregation. The candle lighting
portion of your service concludes with the provided
prayer. There are five readings, one for each candle.
Reproducible parts for the congregation and 5 optional
handbells are included.

O Sing a Song to Bethlehem
Ralph Vaughan Williams/
arr. Reba Snyder Miller.
This folk-style arrangement of these familiar words
takes us from Bethlehem to Calvary with a flowing
piano part, optional guitar, and penny whistle. Though
traditionally considered a Christmas song, this song
has a wonderful focus on the birth, life, death, and
triumph of Christ for any time of the year!

Watchman Tell Us of the Night
arr. Matthew Culloton.
Inspired by John Bowring's classic 19th-century text,
Michael Culloton has created new music, scored
for SATB voice and piano, that is both lovely and
approachable. The shifts between G minor and G major
recall the original tune and support the Advent journey.
