crafted paraphrase of the Te Deum is set to
the stirring
thaxted tune in an arrangement for

L When Memory Fades—arr. Eric Nelson.
With the well-crafted and comforting text about
dementia by Mary Louise Bringle and the flowing
and tender melody by Jayne Southwick Cool,
Eric Nelson has created something deep, rich
and thoughtful. The piano accompaniment is
supportive yet simple and light, allowing the text
and elegant choral writing to be always at the

nuanced. A much-needed ministry tool.

4t Wings of the Morning—arr. Alice Parker.
This American folk hymn arrangement by Alice
Parker continues the tradition she began with
Robert Shaw decades ago, yet is as fresh as

l
The Word—Patrick Hawes. The profound
opening words of Saint John's Gospel, used
in The Word, reach back to the beginning of
creation, and the music is therefore mystical and
subdued until the phrase "in him was life." From
this point on, the feeling is one of bright optimism
and confidence in the light of Christ. Perfect as
an anthem at any time of the year but especially
at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve when this
reading is proclaimed.
