L Agnus Dei—Mark Hayes. This selection combines
the traditional with 21st century expression and
looks to the eternal with hope and glorious musical
vision. Lovely soaring lines in each vocal part create
a beautiful choral texture. In Latin, with some
English text, this work can be performed with piano,
chamber ensemble, or full orchestra. A wonderful
choice for Lent, this piece is also appropriate for
general use.

H All Good Gifts (from "Godspell")—arr. John
Leavitt. This most popular song from "Godspell"

wonderful music takes the classic hymn text to a
new level, making it equally appropriate for concert
and church performances. This will envelop everyone
in a spirit of joyful celebration! Highly recommended!

All I Need—Cameron Pollock. "He's the treasure
of my soul. He is all I need." A testimony of faith and
assurance, this sensitive pairing of message and
music is quickly learned, yet provides expressive
potential for choirs of any size. The lovely melody is
memorable and easily taught to a congregation.
11165931 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
Ht All That Hath Life and Breath Praise Ye the
Lord!—Rene Clausen. An animated, lilting, and
dramatic a cappella work, this choral tour de force
briefly quotes the hymn Praise to the Lord, the
Almighty in a fresh and innovative way. It is a truly
impressive work for mature choirs.

Alleluia—Giulio Caccini/arr. Mack Wilberg. Male
voices take the leading role in this mixed-voice
arrangement of the tender and well-loved solo
piece attributed to Caccini and usually sung to Ave
Maria. With long lines, a colorful orchestration and a
sense of great reverence, this piece is effective and
reverent. Useful for concert or worship settings.
11160130 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.85
Ht Alleluia—Ralph Manuel. With the text comprising
the single word "Alleluia," this quiet, reverent a
cappella work continues to be a strong seller in
its original SATB voicing. Now available for male
voices, this is an excellent choice for both school
contest-oriented use and church services!
1629831 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.55
Ht Alleluia—Randall Thompson. A true masterpiece
for a cappella chorus. The name Randall Thompson
is as much a part of choral music as is the voice.
His masterful compositions are all standards in the
repertoire. A choral classic!

Anthem of Gladness—Joseph M. Martin.
"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go
into the house of the Lord." Opening and closing
musically with strains of Rejoice, Ye Pure in
Heart, this energetic original anthem springs
from the page with rhythmic vitality. Nice dynamic
contrasts, modal touches, and a contrasting B
section combine to create the perfect anthem
of joyful praise, crowned by an optional
solo trumpet.

L Anthems of Love—Dan Forrest. This anthem by
Dan Forrest features voices with handbells and a
choice of three instrumental accompaniments. With
text based on Zephaniah 3:17, Anthems of Love is
a well-crafted piece with shifting harmonic textures
that elicits joy from beginning to end. "Anthems of
love from the heavenly throne, the Father Himself
singing over His children, His love song a gift that
He sings to His own."

D
As a Song Among the Trees—Joseph M. Martin.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit is the wind beneath the
wings of this message in music. A sparkling cascade
of notes sets the tone in the piano introduction while
the melody arches from the page. Crowned with a
chorus of "Alleluias," the anthem ends in a whisper
of worship and is quickly learned.
11000578 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
Ave Maria—Giulio Caccini/arr. Patrick
Liebergen. This haunting melody from the Italian
Renaissance has been recorded most recently
by Charlotte Church and Andrea Bocelli. Patrick
Liebergen's setting features straightforward
vocal lines, a supportive piano accompaniment,
and an optional flute part that is never overstated,
but lets the enchanting melody and harmonies
speak for themselves. Expressive and beautiful
at every turn, this is a glorious addition to sacred
choral literature!

3300748 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
L Awake, My Soul—Elaine Hagenberg. A brilliant,
pulsating piano introduction announces the dawn
and invites the voices to join with escalating calls
to "Awake, my soul!" As the pulsing continues,
the vocal counterpoint gives way to the chordal
acclamation, "I will awaken the dawn!" This setting
of Psalm 57:8-11 requires an above average
accompanist and an energetic choir, but the artistic
result will be worth the effort.
11166185 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
4 Be at Peace—Tracey Craig McKibben. This
sensitive, beautiful anthem of comfort and
encouragement is ideal for memorial services and
funerals. Musically lyrical and serene, uplifting and
inspiring. Be at Peace will minister to all who are
facing difficult times of life.
11165746 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
11165747 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.95
H Be Not Afraid—Craig Courtney. Commissioned by
a church in Sioux City, Iowa, which was forced to
relocate due to flooding, this lyrical anthem speaks
of God's presence with us in times of hardship and of
His infinite mercy. A wonderful musical expression of
comfort and courage for confirmation, child baptism
or dedication, or any time you wish to convey the love
of God through Isaiah's words of redemption: "You
are precious in My sight." The opening statement can
be sung by sopranos or solo voice, but is especially
appropriate for children's voices.
1825967 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
L Be Not Afraid—Taylor Davis. The powerful text
of Isaiah 43:1-7 provides the foundation for this
anthem of comfort and affirmation: "Be not afraid,
I have redeemed you. Be not afraid, I've called you
by name." The stirring melody opens in a unison
statement but soon gives way to a four-part voicing
that's filled with rich harmonic treatment. Now with
an orchestration.
8066094 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
11100192 String Ensemble. . . . . . . . . . . 49.95
l Be Silent—J.B. Taylor/arr. Heather Sorenson.
Luminous and comforting, this new setting of a
lesser-known Fanny Crosby text is sheer beauty.
The substantial and evocative piano writing
supports a melodic gesture that rises like a fragile
prayer. Achievable arranging opens up the piece
to many groups and gives thoughtful directors an
opportunity to work on the musical and spiritual
aspects of this important message. A sonic salve
for the soul!
11199085 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
H Be Still—Mary McDonald. "Be still and know that
I am God." This anthem of sonority and depth is a
musical balm that covers the listener with exquisite
vocal and harmonic colors at every measure. It
is a song of a loving God who "never leaves or
forsakes," the One who brings peace and comfort
in time of need. Richly scored for voices and piano,
this is a superb choice for moments of prayer,
memorials, and commissioning services that will
leave your congregation breathless.
10188416 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
Be Still, My Child—Lee Dengler. This thoughtful
anthem of comfort uses lovely harmonies and
short a cappella sections to create a hushed and
awestruck mood. Incorporating the hymn tune
BE
STILL AND KNOW,
the work moves from moments
soaring with confidence and assurance to moments
of quiet reverence. Beautiful and moving!
11100427 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
4L Bless His Holy Name—Mark Shepperd. A lilting
6/8 setting of Psalm 103, this is scored for SATB
voices, descant, and congregation, with piano and
optional 3-5 octave handbells. First the choir sings
the antiphon and the congregation copies it. Then
the choir sings a verse, and when the antiphon
returns, it is sung in canon. A final verse with
antiphon and descant leads to a brief concluding
coda for choir alone.

Blessed Are Those—Benjamin Harlan. This
through-composed SATB setting of the Beatitudes
moves peacefully through the shifting text, unified
by the underlying triplet figure in the organ
accompaniment. The tonal center changes as if to
center on each "blessed," eventually returning to D
major for a calm but assuring conclusion.
11164579 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
lL Can You Hear the Stars?—Ruth Elaine Schram.
With words inspired by Psalm 19:1–6,
Ruth Elaine Schram's original anthem of praise
features optional children's choir for a collaborative
performance experience. Optional flute and
cello parts make a lovely addition to this anthem
celebrating how "the earth reflects the work of
God's hands."

Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel Faure/arr.
John Rutter. John Rutter has done an exceptional
job of editing this standard Gabriel Faure work. No
library is complete without this!

lL Ceaseless Praise—Tracey Craig McKibben
& Michelle Christensen. "Take my life and let
it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee... Take my
moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless
praise." Drawing on the classic hymn lyrics, the
composers have created a heartfelt song of love
and commitment, offering the Lord our ceaseless
praise. Beautiful, well-written, and useful.
11200371 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Celebrate the Day—Pepper Choplin. Scored
for choir, piano, brass quintet and timpani, this
triumphant anthem is perfect for the beginning of
the year, festivals or building dedications. With easy
vocal parts and a big ending, this is one piece you
will want to perform every year!

L
Child of God—Mark A. Miller. This anthem has all
you've come to expect from Mark Miller: resonant
lyrics combined with a soulful melody. Mixed choirs
of all ages and sizes will enjoy singing this Gospel
ballad. The bridge brings the piece to a powerful
climax: "There is no thing, or no one, that can
separate you from the truth that you're someone
- you are family; you are meant to be a child of
God." Includes an optional congregational part for
use in worship. Great for any service with a peace
and justice focus, as well as baptismal celebrations.
