GENERAL ANTHEMS
l Christ Be Beside Me—Scot Crandal. This is
an exciting setting of James Quinn's adaption of
the beloved prayer, St. Patrick's Breastplate. This
scoring for SAB choir and keyboard includes a
skillfully arranged descant, optional B-flat trumpet
part, and a two-page guitar accompaniment with
plenty of accessible and interesting chords. This
text is perfectly suited for expressing the love of
the Church for Christ, and is especially appropriate
for weddings as the text conveys the sacramental
symbolism of marriage.

lL Christ Be With Me—Michael S. Bryson.
Combining two Irish prayers, St. Patrick's
Breastplate and Be Thou My Vision, and
incorporating the tune SLANE, this simple and
effective anthem proclaims a powerful idea:
the desire to have Christ be with us always and
everywhere, beside us and within us, to comfort
and restore us. The enticing melody is easily
learned and makes this useful for confirmation,
ordination, and any service of commitment.

L Christ is Made the Sure Foundation—Carl
Smith. The beloved tune WESTMINSTER ABBEY receives
a festive hymn concertato setting by Carl Smith. With
optional participation for the congregation on the first
and last verses, it provides an excellent opportunity
to immerse believers in the moment.

l The Church Enduring—Joseph M. Martin. This
traditionally styled offering is a sturdy anthem
celebrating the church and its foundations of faith.
A regal hymn, the theme rises like a cathedral of
sound after briefly quoting the time-honored tune
ST. ANNE. Full harmonies emphasize the unity of the
church with the statement, "We are the church,
built on the solid Rock!" Two trumpets add a layer
of sonic satisfaction and a final heroic verse with
soaring descant crowns the work. Powerful!

The Church of God Is One—Mary McDonald.
With a bold, uplifting tune, this celebration
of Christian unity is ideal for special church
celebrations. The anthem offers a full orchestration,
a smaller orchestration for brass and percussion,
and an opportunity for congregational singing on the
well-known
AURELIA. The P/A CD includes brass and
percussion as well as full orchestra accompaniment.

4L Clap, Clap Your Hands!—Marty Parks. Inspired
by Psalms 47 and 57, this piece is an energetic and
upbeat anthem of celebration. Unison lines burst
in and out of four-part harmony, and syncopated
melodic figures are passed back and forth from
soprano and alto to tenor and bass. A layered
section adds contrast before the piece builds to an
exciting conclusion. The optional brass ensemble is
sure to boost this piece even more. Terrific!

sound and creative, with occasional guided piano
improvisation, it includes a quote of the hymn
tune
NICAEA (Holy, Holy, Holy). This work hits
every high mark in terms of vocal writing, skillful
accompaniment, and beautiful effect.

Come Home—Craig Courtney. Opening with
the words "Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,"
this simple, sincere original offers a marvelous
opportunity to feature a soprano or tenor soloist
with your choir. The work ends as softly and
tenderly as it began: "You who are weary, come
home." Lush, meaningful, and beautiful at every
turn. Highly recommended!

two trumpets and timpani for a regal touch.

to involve young choristers in worship leadership.

and the memorable melody holds the important
message of welcome, inclusivity, and love. Includes

reproducible congregational page.
