I Choose Love—Mark A. Miller. In the midst of pain,
of war, of brokenness... we choose love. We choose
community. What better way to share this message
than through powerful song... and that's exactly
what you'll find in this anthem for SATB voices. This
soulful anthem, written in response to the tragic
events that occurred at Emmanuel African Methodist
Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina in
2015, is a testament to the power of forgiveness and
peace. Appropriate for general use or as a memorial,
this beautifully written piece begins with a solo, then
rises to a full choral statement that returns to a solo
for the close. Highly recommended!

I Walk with the King—Patricia Mock & Charles
McCartha. A pleasant, lilting tune is paired with a text
that contrasts a life without Christ to the abundance
of spiritual contentment that faith provides. The

harmonies and sparkling figures. Optional flute, cello,
and hand percussion complement the work.

versatile and accessible anthem underscores
themes of confidence and trust. Based on Proverbs

effective for SATB or SAB ensembles, the choral
writing allows the text to shine. Very nicely done!

Just As I Am (New Edition)—Joseph M. Martin.
A new edition of this early Martin hymn resetting!
In this version, the key has been lowered and
the rhythms adjusted to reflect a more traditional
approach to the text, refining the anthem for
reverence and worship. The contours of the melody
convey longing and repentance while the B section

tempo anthem invites active participation in praise

and movement to the texture. A brief lyrical section

and gentle syncopation and leads into O God, Our
Help in Ages Past. Joyful!
