Be Thou My Vision—arr. Dan Forrest.
This masterfully crafted essay on the timeless Irish

vocals appear over understated piano lines, followed
by judicious a cappella phrases and a sweeping
crescendo to the phrase "Heart of my own heart,
whatever befall." This is such a worshipful treatment
of a timeless melody that it deserves to be heard
again and again.

Our Father—Craig Courtney. Humility and quiet
fervor mark this setting of Christ's eternal words. It
is completely different than the standard settings
that we have heard so often, in that each section
of the prayer is expressed in its own melodic,
harmonic and textural language. The climactic
arrival on the words "forever and ever" soar, and the
final "amen" brings us full circle to the simplicity of
the beginning of the anthem. String quartet and full
orchestra parts and scores are available, as well as
SSAA and TTBB adaptations.
