GENERAL ANTHEMS
t Sing Your Way Home—Joseph M. Martin.
Deeply expressive, an old poem is treated with rich
harmonies to become a moving closer for concerts
or festivals. Written with an ear to the a cappella
glee club tradition, the incorporation of Dvorak's
Going Home connects to the hearts of the audience
and wraps them in the embrace of the warm
sounds of the text: "Where'er you go, wherever you
roam, it will brighten your road; lighten your load, if
you sing, sing your way home."

Some Things Never Change—Heather
Sorenson. This song is an inspired reminder of God's
faithfulness. Tender and fragile, the theme opens
with innocence and clarity, articulating the seasons
of life and the constancy of the Almighty. Though
composed in a singer-songwriter idiom, the choral
parts are deep and satisfying, bringing warmth and
sincerity. A reference to Psalm 119 is crowned with
the affirmation, "I choose to live in faith, not fear."
Truly a song for this season of challenges!

the seasons is wonderfully suited for times of

with sweeping vocal lines leading to an ethereal
statement of the traditional Doxology. The elegant

the addition of the optional string quartet. Evocative
and lovely!

John Trotta. Elegant in its simplicity, this anthem

L Steadfast—Craig Courtney. This strong statement
of faith is an outpouring of praise for our steadfast
God, as illustrated by a comparison of God's
provisions for the people of Israel in the Old
Testament and His care for us today. Scored for
SATB choir and piano with optional brass, it opens
quietly, slowly building in intensity to a thrilling
and inspiring finish. Appropriate for Thanksgiving,

even a small choir and is appropriate for worship
throughout the year, especially for services of
ecumenism and discipleship.

l The Heavens are Telling (Virtual Learning
Resource Pak)—Mark Patterson. A festival-like
opening develops into a grand anthem for SAB
mixed voices that depicts the majesty of God! The
layering of voices creates a dynamic build from

syncopation and lyrical lines creates balance and
breadth. A wonderful piece for adult or youth

David Schwoebel. Divided into two sections, this
anthem begins with a passage from the Song of
Solomon and offers it in a pleasing 3/4 tune that
celebrates the birth of Spring. The second section

English in a spirited invitation to praise. Oboe and

4 To First Seek the Kingdom—Michael John Trotta.
This sublime new look at beloved texts employs an
economy of choral writing. The SATB choral texture is
shaded by sections of unison writing, with some brief
points of a cappella writing and divisi. The innovative
approach to the text utilizes a question-and-answer
format with the question sung in a subdued fashion
and the answer intensifying in range, complexity,
and volume. The piano and flute parts provide an
underlying momentum.
11164411 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.50
L Total Praise—Richard Smallwood/arr. Joel
Raney. This contemporary gospel song has become

impact. Joel Raney pairs it with Holy, Holy, Holy
and provides an accessible, Quick Study version
maintaining all the gospel harmonies that make
this a worship sensation.

L Use Me, Lord—Shirli L. Hughes. This ardent,
lovely prayer of commitment to do God's will is
accompanied by a rapturous piano accompaniment
and optional violin and cello, which are especially
effective in the interludes. The final stanza opens
with chorusing alleluias that spring from the texture
because they are unaccompanied. Very effective for
confirmations, baptisms, and dedication Sundays.

t We Are Not Alone—Pepper Choplin. "We are
not alone, God is with us." Here is an anthem that
succinctly captures a confident thought and presents it
in such a straightforward, honest way that you can't help
but be moved! Gently rhythmic choral ostinati support
a soprano solo that glides above the other voices in
smooth, sustained lines. Accessible and effective
with large or smaller choirs, this anthem touches
the heart with its simple but profound message.
Originally conceived as an a capella anthem, optional
orchestration adds a dramatic element.

We Sing to You Creator God—Ralph Manuel.
An imaginative melody cradles a classic Isaac
Watts text in this anthem celebrating the creative
majesty of God. Restrained yet effective part writing
brings the message to the heart of the listener
and the approachable piano part adds color and
grace. An anthem replete with awe and worship,
the text is appropriate any time but especially in
moments encouraging the church to be caretakers
of creation. Splendid writing!

4t We Would See Jesus—Jon Eiche. Restrained
and refined, this brief a cappella anthem is

spiritual journey, it very effectively captures the
sacred longing to encounter God.

We've Come a Long Way, Lord—arr. John A.
Behnke. This fresh gospel-style anthem calls out
as an invitation to the walk of faith. A celebration
of unity and promise, the Liberian song reminds
us that Jesus gives us strength for our journey
together. Sections where soloists interact with the
choir are distinctive and effective, bringing joy and
confidence into worship.

Who But the Lord?—Craig Courtney. An
opening tenor/bass chant of an obscure verse of
O Come, O Come, Emmanuel sets the stage for
this contemplative consideration of Isaiah 58. While
perfect for Advent, the encouraging, hopeful nature
of the text makes it useful year round. Scored for
SATB choir and piano and suitable for any service
of worship.

The Wonder of Creation—Patricia Mock & Jon
Paige. All creation attests to the glory of God! This
anthem displays that truth with an effervescent
theme and a vibrant accompaniment. Lightly

Ht The Word Was God—Rosephanye Powell. What
an impact this august anthem will have on both
choir and listeners! Its rhythmic structure develops
from the superb interplay between the voices, and
the layering of sound upon sound creates a musical
tapestry. Written in an almost spiritual style, but
definitely not a spiritual, this will make a stunning
choice for larger church choirs!
