lL Let Us Break Bread Together—Gwyneth
Walker. Utilizing the traditional African American
tune, this artistic setting focuses on two central
images: breaking bread together in communion and
fellowship, and falling on one's knees in prayer. Both
images have liturgical and community references of
the messages of healing and humility. The first two
verses are familiar, but a new verse has been added
to address the time of great divisions in our country,
when there is a need for strength through unity. "Let
us rise up together as one."

l Let Us Love—Patrick Hawes. A lilting melody is
introduced against which the independent choral
parts call for love to pervade all that we do. A
defiant middle section proclaiming that "no fear be
known to us" creates cohesion and contrast. The
piano in this lovely work is a predominant part of
the texture. In essence, the piano writing creates
the feeling of a dance; singers must be aware of
this throughout so that their rhythms reinforce and
interact with those of the piano, creating an overall
atmosphere of joy and contentment.

arr. Bradley Ellingboe. Reading through this text, one
can't help but feel that, despite the state of the world,
light, love and hope are certainly in the days ahead,
as promised. Using the tune TEMPLE OF PEACE, this
will quickly become a favorite. Meaningful!

4 The Lord's Prayer—Patrick Hawes. This
simple version of The Lord's Prayer is taken from
The Edenham Eucharist. Some unexpected key
changes help to sustain the momentum, although
the overriding approach is one of straightforward
harmonies and rhythms. In the context of the
Eucharist setting, this piece is marked at a slower
tempo and has organ accompaniment. This version
is short but lovely.

lL Love Consecrates the Humblest Act—Lucius
Chapin/arr. Randolph Currie. Here is a gentle, flowing
anthem ideal for the Maundy Thursday service of foot
washing. Randolph Currie's lovely arrangement for

equal voices. Currie finds inspiration in this simple
psalter tune, TWENTY-FOURTH, attributed to colonial
American composer and singing teacher Lucian
Chapin. Useful and beautiful.

personal text by Charles Wesley has been skillfully

principal themes: the solemn tone of the Gregorian
Te Deum laudamus, the Great Alleluia which is

These three Easter themes permeate the Mass,
thus joining the past centuries' melodies with this
new work to celebrate the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Sections include: Kyrie eleison; Gloria
in excelsis; Sanctus and Benedictus; Agnus Dei.

meter. Plan this tremendous piece for Reformation

L
My Faith, My Hope—Gwyneth Walker. Based
on George Herbert's poem The Call, this original
anthem approaches the text both as a personal
expression of faith and as a general statement.
The very tender verse, "Come, my Joy, my Love,
my Heart" is set in a lower, gentler key, with sweet
dissonance. The music then rises to the original key
for a final, triumphant statement. Beautiful!

lt O Clap Your Hands—David Bednall. This short,
high-energy SATB a cappella setting of well-
known texts from Psalms 33 and 47 is a welcome
addition to the service repertory. The changing
meter is the result of vivid text declamation,
and the sixteenth-note movement that passes
between parts creates a sense of motion that is
fitting for this joyous hymn of praise. A helpful
piano reduction is included.

lL O Gracious Light—David P. Dahl. The text of the
t "Phos hilaron" (in English) is a classic evening text
that contrasts the dimming of the setting sun with
the brightness of God's light. Musically this piece is

most motets. Serene and beautiful.

Praising)—arr. James J. Chepponis. This hymn
concertato on Holst's noble tune
THAXTED provides
two texts: one by Delores Dufner, for Pentecost/
Confirmation, and Michael Perry's more familiar
general text. The opening fanfare and interlude

processions, but the piece may be adapted for
use with only organ accompaniment. An elegant

B-flat, two trombones with horn in F substituting
for trombone 1), tuba, timpani, suspended
cymbal, 2-octave handbells.

Peace Beyond Thought—Patrick Hawes. This
composition asks the listener to dwell on all that
is pure. For this reason the music develops from
simple unison singing through to rich and warm
harmonic textures, with restrained dynamics
throughout. Towards the end of the work, the most
important word is "console"; choirs should feel the
phrases moving towards the final D major chord
which is intended to bring resolution and comfort.

lL Psalm 100 (Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord)
—David Hurd. Opening with a brief fanfare on the
organ, the text is set in an exciting rhythmic pattern
that shifts between duple and triple meter. In the
contrasting middle section, the rhythmic energy
of the opening is exchanged for a gentle extended
crescendo as voices alternately sing their four-note,
stepwise, rising lines over sustained organ chords.
Finally, the opening text and music recur in the
manner of an antiphon.

first six verses of Psalm 105 features a virtuosic and
spirited organ part, including spritely triplet figures
set against long melodic ideas in the SATB voices.

glory of God's holy name.

4 Psalm 150—Philip Stopford. This festive psalm
setting is a romp! Glorious in its color, interaction
with the organ, and its energy. The choral parts
provide some challenge, and the organ part will
require an accomplished organist. Stopford's
careful attention to the text and color make this a
rousing and engaging setting of a well-known text.
Highly recommended!
