LITURGICAL ANTHEMS
A Prayer of St Columba—Cecilia McDowall.
Taken from The Oxford Book of Easy Flexible
Anthems, this is an expressive and emotive
anthem with appealing, arching melodies
underpinned by a sparkling keyboard part.
Meaningful and well-crafted.
10957597 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.35
Psallite Gloria—Michael J. Joncas. Joyful and
exuberant in nature, this edition begins with a
repeated refrain in Latin, with the rest of the setting
in English. While the enjoyable lilt of the tune
continues throughout, the changes in tonality and
tempo highlight the differentiation between portions
of praise and those of petition. A nice option for
celebrations of lesser festivity.
10954468 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Psallite Gloria - Festival Edition—Michael J.
Joncas. The Psallite Mass, particularly its joyful
Gloria movement, has long been a favorite of choirs
everywhere and has now been updated to be
consistent with the 2010 translation of the Roman
Missal. This setting of the "Glory to God" alternates
Latin with English text with richer and more
extensive choral parts. This joyful and exuberant
festival edition of this work is set for choir, assembly,
cantor, brass quintet, timpani, and organ.
10954473 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
4 Psalm 139—Michael Burkhardt. A mysterious
introduction using keyboard, optional handbells,
and oboe gives way to a slow, lyrical 6/8 setting of
the psalm. Almost like a courtly dance, the tempo
fluctuates with the spirit of the text. After a reprise
of the introductory material, the anthem becomes
almost through-composed, reflecting the emotional
arch of the words. Some a cappella sections
provide nice contrast.

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!
10912829 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95
DL Psalm 150—Michael John Trotta. A dynamic
t
a cappella original with a festival feel! The opening
chordal style introduces a jubilant motive in the
upper voices that gives a solid foundation for
the contrasting bass part. A contrasting middle
section gives the opportunity to teach lyrical tone
and phrasing. The work finishes with a soaring
optional descant or solo. In Latin throughout, with
the English translation included. Exciting!
10947977 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
lL Psalm 19—James J. Chepponis. This festive
setting of Psalm 19 alternates refrains and
different sets of verses, making it work in multiple
liturgies where Psalm 19 is appointed. Both
assembly and choral writing are very singable and
can be sung in English, Spanish, or a combination
of the two. Accompaniment options include organ
or chamber orchestra.

H
Requiem—Eliza Gilkyson/arr. Craig Hella Johnson.
Singer/songwriter Eliza Gilkyson wrote Requiem
as a song of grief following the Asian tsunami in
December 2004, and the song found a renewed
audience after Hurricane Katrina devastated the
Gulf Coast region. This setting by Conspirare
conductor Craig Hella Johnson is powerful in its
emotional impact.
10045096 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
4L Sanctus (from Requiem for the Living)—Dan
Forrest. A number of movements from Requiem
for the Living by Dan Forrest comfortably stand
alone. The "Sanctus", movement IV from the work,
is scored for divisi mixed chorus with keyboard
or orchestra (full or chamber). For the advanced
church, collegiate, or community ensemble, the
piece could easily open a concert or be used on
Christ the King Sunday.
11202060 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.75
4 Sanctus—Michael John Trotta. The final
installment of the Missa Brevis, this peaceful work
features opportunities for unison singing and the
development of independent part singing. With
conservative ranges and opportunities to focus
on pure vowels and text accentuation, this is an
elegant addition to any concert or service. Combine
with Trotta's other Latin works Kyrie, Gloria and
Agnus Dei to create the full Missa Brevis. Now
available for mixed voices.

4D Set Me as a Seal—Michael John Trotta. Elegant
Lt simplicity is the hallmark of this shimmering
a cappella setting of a favorite text: "Set me as
a seal upon your heart ... for love is as strong
as death." Straightforward rhythms, careful
management of vocal ranges, and a judicious
use of close cluster harmonies put this work well
within the reach of many choirs. A perfect choice
for choirs looking to establish a more mature
sound and musical sensitivity.
11163997 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
4L Song of the Earth (from Jubilate Deo)—Dan
Forrest. This piece is Movement 6 from Dan
Forrest's extended work Jubilate Deo. Here
published separately, the piece calls for mixed
chorus, optional treble chorus, with piano or organ
or orchestra. The individual piece easily stands
alone and is appropriate for Earth Day concerts as
well as other perormances.
11196167 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.55
Lt Speak, Lord, for Thy Servant Heareth—
Steven Stucky. This eminently approachable
anthem sets text by Christina Rossetti asking
for God to "give us ears to hear, eyes to see,
wills to obey, and hearts to love." This a cappella
motet features layered voices, mixed meters, and
a touch of dissonance. The dynamic contrasts
contribute to the expressive vocal lines before
the piece concludes with a quiet "amen."
10956683 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05
4t Talia Miracula—Brad Nix. Luxurious in harmonic
language and choral timbre, this magnificent
octavo describes the angel's announcement of
Christ's birth to the shepherds. Emerging poetically
from stillness, the piece opens organically as the
divine light breaks forth in angelic acclamations of
"Lux" and "Gloria." Divided voices and evocative
dissonances create a substantial sonic stack and
the cyclical text returns to the opening silence
before ending peacefully.
11201340 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
L Teach Me, O Lord—David Ashley White. Psalm
139 is filled with memorable verses, and David
Ashley White has chosen two for this lyrical anthem.
The rising and falling melodic lines have a yearning
quality that fits the invocatory nature of the text. It
begins and ends gently. Thoughtful.
11167115 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
4 There Is Joy in the Morning!—Gwyneth Walker.
Conveying a message of joy after darkness and
dancing after sorrow, this setting of Psalm 30
features accessible SATB writing with some brief
divisi, short solos for soprano and baritone, and
a short a cappella passage. The supportive piano
accompaniment is, by turns, boldly energetic and
lyrically flowing.
11164423 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
4L This Is My Servant—Alfred V. Fedak. Words
from Isaiah 42 make this an excellent anthem
for occasions celebrating service, especially
ordinations, anniversaries, and retirements. Fedak's
dignified and lyrical music is homophonic and easy
to sing, making this an especially good choice for
those occasions when a massed choir or visiting
members are involved. Beginning moderately, the
piece builds to a broad and exultant conclusion.
11167111 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00
DL Ubi Caritas—Michael John Trotta. The beloved
t
Latin text is set in an elegantly simple four-part
texture with conservative ranges. Straightforward
rhythms and moments of release create a tapestry
of sound that surrounds the solo chant line,
which may be sung by a soloist or performed by
a C instrument. Beautiful modern harmonies and
cluster chords create an artistic setting that is
equally appropriate for service use or the concert
stage. Lovely!

HL Ubi Caritas—Victor C. Johnson. A beautiful, tender
setting of the traditional Latin text that features
delicate melodic lines and a fluid accompaniment.
The contrasting middle section provides interest and
movement, and the echoed phrases, independent
vocal lines, and limited ranges allow for it to be easily
mastered for concert or festival. A pronunciation
guide and translation are included.

Verleih Uns Frieden (Grant Unto Us Thy
Peace, O Lord)—Felix Mendelssohn/ed. Robert
Schuneman. This edition of Mendelssohn's well-
known anthem includes a singable text in German,
Latin and English. It can be performed with
keyboard or orchestra. The orchestration includes
winds and strings.

L Walk in Light—Karen Marrolli. Here is a message
of peace expressed through soothing, peaceful
music. The part for violin, oboe or clarinet is
reserved for the middle of the piece and carries the
DIVINUM MYSTERIUM tune, later echoed by the choir.
The folk-like original music weaves seamlessly
with the ancient melody before coming to a
delicate close. Reproducible instrumental parts are
included. Highly recommended!
10606188 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
What Does the Lord Require—Eric Nelson. The
conductor of the prestigious Atlanta Master Chorale
has provided original music to this text from Micah
8 which exhorts us to "do justice, love mercy, and
walk humbly with your God." Accessible and useful
for a church choir of any size. SATB with piano
accompaniment throughout.

4 What is Peace? (from "Tuvayhun: Beatitudes
for a Wounded World")—Kim Andre Arnesen.
"Peace, like war, must be waged - mindfully,
deliberately, with arms every ready and eyes wide
open." Striking modern harmonies declare the
importance of Charles Anthony Silvestri's profound
text on the nature of peace, dramatically set for
mixed or treble choirs with the option to perform
a cappella, or with piano or harp accompaniment.
Taken from Arnesen's major work Tuvayhun, this
third movement is also known as The Peacemakers.

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 fore. Men and women are each
given moments to shine, and the ensemble writing
is solid and nuanced. A much-needed ministry tool.
