l Agnus Dei—Michael John Trotta. Following his
successful settings of Kyrie and Gloria for treble
voices, Dr. Trotta delivers a third movement from
the "Missa Brevis" with Agnus Dei. Each setting
has been carefully crafted for emerging treble
singers to provide educational opportunities for
range extension, musical phrasing and attention
to syllabic stress. Agnus Dei, set with piano or
harp accompaniment and optional flute obbligato,
features a partner song setting with two lyrical
melodies in the minor mode. A wonderful choice
for concerts, festivals or sacred services.

Agnus Dei (Requiem)—Jay Althouse. This
setting of the traditional Agnus Dei Latin text
from the Requiem Mass was specifically written
to honor the memory of the numerous victims
of the senseless mass shooting tragedies of the
summer of 2016. With a very open harmonic
texture, almost a cappella with its minimalist piano
accompaniment, this setting weaves between
consonance and dissonance with simple contrary
vocal lines over an insistent single note that tolls
in the piano until all voices combine in meditative,
somber harmony. This piece will evoke a reflective
moment in your concert or worship setting. A
pronunciation guide and translation are given for
the Latin text.

l All Depends on Our Possessing—arr. John
A. Behnke. Options abound with this setting by
John Behnke. This piece can be sung by an SATB
choir as an anthem with organ accompaniment,
or it can be sung with congregation participation
as a concertato. Listen for the building of musical
tension in stanzas three and four when the pace
quickens! Useful throughout the church year.
10911612 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.30
All People That on Earth Do Dwell—arr. Mack
Wilberg. This superb arrangement of the familiar
OLD
HUNDREDTH
tune is grand yet not overdone. Choral
ranges are reasonable, and there is an alternate
quiet ending. While the organ part is strong and
would suffice as accompaniment, a full orchestration
is available from the publisher for rental. Written in
honor of Terry Price and his years at Preston Hollow
Presbyterian Church, Dallas, Texas.

H Antiphon (Let All the World in Every Corner
Sing)—Ralph Vaughan Williams. The climactic
finale to Vaughan-Williams' "Five Mystical Songs"
is a staple of the sacred choral repertoire and a
superb culminating work for both concert and
worship settings.

l As the Bridegroom to His Chosen—Alan
Bullard. Opening out from a lyrical exchange
between unison lower and upper voices, As the
Bridegroom to His Chosen is based around a John
Tauler poem rich in metaphorical language that
reflects on the protagonist's relationship with the
Lord. Contrasting textures and eminently singable
melodies make this a musically rewarding yet
accessible anthem.
10817925 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.90
l At the Presence of God—Randy Cox & David
McKay. This is a celebratory anthem for full mixed
voices that serves church well. It presents an
uplifting design to challenge and inspire through
musical energy, scoring, and choice of text. It
celebrates the work of leading choral composers
and provides ideal repertoire for festival days,
concerts, and special occasions.

Lt Ave Generosa—Ola Gjeilo. This setting of
Hildegard von Bingen's Ave Generosa text uses
a hauntingly joyful tonality, paying homage to the
mysterious story of Mary. A beautiful middle section
is surrounded by contrasting modal beginning and
ending sections. The juxtaposition of sustained and
moving moments holds true to the composer's style,
while the harmonic structure and vocal construction
offer very fresh textures. Highly recommended!

4L Ave Maria—Bob Moore. The traditional Latin text
of the Ave Maria is set to a lyrical melody for two-part
voices. The piano accompaniment complements
the vocal parts throughout and provides a sense of
movement. This piece is great for choirs looking for
a fresh setting to add to their repertoire.

and effective.

4
Be Still—Patrick Hawes. A setting of the well-
known phrase from Psalm 46, "Be still, and know
that I am God" for choir and piano. The piano's
repeated chordal patterns flow gently throughout,
and the long legato choral lines help the listener
drift into a world of peace and beauty. The
composer wrote this piece early one morning when
all was still and shrouded in a thin mist. Beautiful!
10913514 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
l Blessed Rest—Scott Perkins. Scott Perkins sets
text from Revelation 14 and Romans 8 in this
flowing, lyrical anthem appropriate for All Saints,
funerals, or any time of remembrance. Unison
passages balance beautiful harmonic progressions,
providing an accessible work for most choirs.
10912217 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80
lL Bring Us, O Lord God—Gerald Near. Gerald Near
has set a sublime text by John Donne, providing
restrained, elegant music that responds to the
text with lyricism, mixed meter, and thoughtful
dissonance. The organ part nicely supports the
SATB choral texture, and there is an optional
a cappella section of about eight measures.

4 Bring Us, O Lord God—Philip Stopford. Written
for St. Paul's Cathedral in London, this John Donne
poem is skillfully set based on this historic text. The
music soars with color and melodic inspiration, then
ends quietly with a homage to Sir William Harris'
version of the same text. Magnificent!

4 The Chorister Prayer—Philip Stopford.
Premiered in Llandaff Cathedral in South Wales,
this well-known prayer is given a gentle setting by

phrases and masterful melodies, this prayer is
appropriate for young and old alike as our work is
continually offered to God.
10771111 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
Christ Is Our Cornerstone—Philip W. J.
Stopford. This rousing commissioned anthem by
Philip Stopford is strong and fits with the theme
of Reformation. While it does include a few
unexpected harmonic shifts, it is classic Stopford
and will inspire your choir and congregation. The
piece is scored for SATB choir, optional brass
quintet and timpani.

With a text by Gracia Grindal and written for the
250th anniversary of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in
Ardmore, Pennsylvania, this work features a lively
organ part and strong choral writing. There is also
a part for congregation. Joyous and moving!
10810650 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
l Come to Me—Robert Buckley Farlee. Robert
Buckley Farlee combines text from Matthew 11
with writings from Martin Luther's last sermon in
this rich anthem. The music is largely homophonic,
but each voice has its own independent line within
the texture.
10912218 SSATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
lL Come Unto Me—Philip M. Young. Straightforward
t and elegant, this unaccompanied setting of
Matthew 11:28-30 has an optional organ
reduction which can double the singers. In ABA
form, the pleasing and mildly contemporary
harmonies evoke a sense of assurance and
calm. Beautiful!

l Creator, Open Our Hearts—arr. Andrew Birling.
This brief anthem prays for the openness to work
for peace and healing for all people and all of
creation. The text is a prayer by Alycia Longriver
Davis of the Micmac tribe who writes, "I said it
as a prayer over and over again daily, while on a
Native American based cross-country walk themed
Respect for People, Respect for the Earth." The
musical setting is easily learned and useful as an
introit, prayer response, or benediction as well as
an anthem.
10912219 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.50
4L David Speaks—Eugene Butler. King David's
words to his son Solomon form the text of this
dramatic anthem: "Be strong and courageous, and
do the work." Eugene Butler's music, accompanied
by organ, emphasizes the strength that God
promises to those who work in the service of the
Lord: "Lord thy God is with you until the work is
done." Highly recommended!

t Do Not Be Afraid—Philip W.J. Stopford. This
anthem of comfort and assurance is built around
the words "do not be afraid." The repetition of these
words evokes a sense of calm that permeates the
piece. Beautifully crafted.
10514475 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
t Dominus Vobiscum—Jacob Narverud. This
powerful, flowing a cappella work in Latin opens
with a beautiful unison chant and closes with a
quiet "Amen." It is infused with interesting and
varied harmonies, changing meter, and dramatic
dynamics. This will bring out the musicianship
of your a cappella voices very nicely!
Highly recommended!

4L Down Galilee's Slow Roadways—John Horman/
arr. Michael Burkhardt. This baptism anthem is
based on the tune
WEST MAIN by John D. Horman
with a text by Sylvia G. Dunstan. It chronicles the
baptism of Jesus by John and explores the deep
symbolism and concepts surrounding that event
as well as how we relate to it today. Moving and
meaningful for choirs of any size.

L Ecce Panis Angelorum—Jonathan Adams. This
unique, meditative setting of a text from Lauda Sion
Salvatorem by St. Thomas Aquinas is lovely. It is

audiences and congregations alike.

Et Misericordia—Kim Andre Arnesen. Extracted
from Kim Andre Arnesen's "Magnificat," this
luscious setting opens with a hauntingly gorgeous
soprano solo. Undulating choral rhythms and
sublime a cappella moments make this a piece not
to be ignored. Meaningful and artistically rewarding.
