GENERAL ANTHEMS
D A New City of Joy—Brad Nix. "I'm building
mansions made of golden praise, founded on
amazing grace!" Set in minor, this jazzy original
anthem is driven by a fun piano part that gives the
piece a certain sacred swagger. Great for general
worship or All Saints' Day, it has a strong message
of hope and inclusion.

4L O Come, Holy Light—Brian L. Hanson. Composer
Brian Hanson's captivating work is on full display
in this anthem for Advent. Hanson's original
text is illuminated through his compelling vocal
writing, gentle cello part, and inspiring piano

break into our world, making all things right.

L O Day of Peace That Dimly Shines—arr. Jantz
A. Black. Carl Schalk's poignant prayer for peace
opens with a plea for the end of conflict and closes
with an adaptation of Isaiah 11:6-9: "Then the wolf
will dwell with the lamb." In this atmospheric and
timely arrangement, the text is paired with C.H.H.
Parry's popular tune. The solo violin plays an
integral role, sometimes playing the melody while
accompanied by the SATB choir and piano.

accompaniment predominated by triplet figures.

L 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.

L Our Hearts Are Restless, O God—Ephrem Feeley.
This reflective setting pairs a well-known passage
from St. Augustine's Confessions with adapted lines
from Psalm 131. It is ideal for smaller choirs, with
support throughout from delicate violin and piano
accompaniment. The adventurous harmonic turns of
the final refrain and descant give way to a soloist's
quiet restatement of the opening phrase.

4D Peace—Patricia Mock/arr. Richard A. Nichols. This
L is an ideal anthem for services dealing with prayer
for peace in our world and the prayer for the light of
Christ to shine: "In a world where hatred seems so
strong, may your grace right the wrong. Give your
peace." Whether it is the strife we see around us,
the worry we feel inside, or the shadows that gather
during the course of our lives, we need God's
peace. This choral setting, featuring a powerful text
and gorgeous music, is a prayer for that peace -
now available in SAB.
