Ashes to Ashes—Dan Schutte. Based in part
on Genesis 3:19, this anthem was designed for
Ash Wednesday. Written for assembly, SAB choir,
keyboard, guitar, oboe, and cello, the music and
text combine to create a meaningful piece for the
day that begins the Lenten season. There are also
alternate verses for the season of Lent included in
the anthem.

4t Ave Verum Corpus—arr. William Bausano. This
is a brief but well-crafted a cappella SATB choral
setting in modern musical notation of the well-
known Gregorian chant. Sung in Latin, it is ideal

celebration, in particular, the Feast of Corpus
Christi. Moving!

lD Dies Irae (from "Requiem")—Michael John
Lt Trotta. Pulsating rhythmic ostinatos, cluster
harmonies, and soaring soprano lines are all
present in this exciting a cappella concert work,
possessing all the elements you'd expect from the
composer of Veni, Veni Emmanuel. Based on the
13th century Dies Irae chant, the exciting minor
texture contrasts driving rhythms and beautiful
legato singing, while still remaining accessible. A
perfect way to showcase your choir as a concert
opener, closer, or for festival use.

lt Drop, Drop Slow Tears—Malcolm Archer. This
setting of Phineas Fletcher's text is gentle
and flowing, with a lilting, descending motif to
characterize the 'slow tears'. Archer offers nuanced
dynamics and imitative entries in this simple but
expressive piece suitable for Passiontide.
11315619E SATB ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.90
t For God So Loved the World—Melchior Franck/
arr. William Braun. Melchior Frank's accessible
a cappella setting of John 3:16 is a great way to
introduce classic literature to your choir. William
Braun's edition translates the original German text
into English and sets this late Renaissance/early
Baroque anthem in modern notation. Poignant.

David W. Music gives new life to this beloved hymn

Culli. This well-loved text is given a poignant new

t beautiful setting written for the Year of Mercy. Sink

Sunday, or any time in gentle praise of God's love
for us.
11166729 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.80
t Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days—
arr. Zebulon M. Highben. A creative setting for
unaccompanied SATB chorus, this arrangement
is built on the venerable Kentucky Harmony tune
DETROIT. Of medium difficulty due to the lack of
accompaniment, the vocal lines are intuitive and
easy to sing.
11316651 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.85
Loving Kindness (An Eastern Blessing)—
Howard Goodall. Dedicated to the sacrifice and
courage of health workers during the 2020 COVID-
19 pandemic, composer Goodall has set tender
music to selected anonymous texts and a quote
from Mahatma Ghandi. The harmonic rhythm is
slow and comforting, a charming rhythmic motif
is present throughout (reminiscent of the Indian
musical concept of tala). Accessible vocal parts
and a beautiful piano accompaniment. Sopranos
divide briefly.

l O Christ, with Us You Suffer—Marty Haugen.
Within three short verses, Adam Tice's rich,
evocative, and complex text expresses the breadth
of the paschal mystery, the suffering and sacredness
of creation, human greed, and the Christian call to
servanthood. Accordingly, these timely themes are
matched to a melody that moves from E minor to
E major and back to E minor within each verse. A
simple arrangement that allows the assembly to
focus on the powerful text they are singing.

4L O Vos Omnes—Henry Hinnant. This traditional
t text of mourning, "O all you who walk by on the
road, pay attention and see: if there be any sorrow
like my sorrow" is especially suitable for Lent or
Holy Week. Hinnant tempers the desolation of the
text with an entreating musical warmth that speaks
to God's comfort and constant provision, even in the
darkest times. Thoughtful and meaningful.
11165870 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.05
Lt Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs—Kenneth T.
Kosche. This is a gentle, expressive setting of this
classic text from Isaiah 53. The accompaniment is
equally suited for piano or organ. The music lasts
less than two minutes, so this piece may be followed
by its companion But He Was Pierced. Meaningful.
10953369 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.85
Lt To Dust—Karen Marrolli. This lovely, reflective
prayer for mixed voices and piano is an excellent

Arise, My love—James Whitbourn. Setting an
invigorating Easter text from the Song of Songs, this
episodic anthem is full of expressive passages and
lyrical melodies. The canonical soprano parts are
echoed in the lower voices, contributing towards
the rich texture, all the while underpinned by an
independent, sparkling organ part.

4 Day of Arising—Carl Schalk/arr. Michael
Burkhardt. Michael Burkhardt's accessible
arrangement of Carl Schalk's hymn tune,
RAABE,
is scored for two-part voices, treble or mixed,
with optional congregational singing. Susan Palo
Cherwien's text compares the story of Jesus's
appearance to the disciples on the roadway with the
way in which Christ is revealed to us in the breaking
of bread. Organ accompaniment and optional oboe
or clarinet are very effective.

4L An Easter Carol—Ephrem Feeley. Embracing
the original meaning of the word "carol" as a
joyful song and also a kind of dance in a ring, this
setting of a Timothy Dudley-Smith text captures
the spirited jubilation of the Easter season. The
recommendation to designate verses for women or
men is not absolute, as the piece works quite well
with equal voices or even just a solo voice. Joyous.
11166779 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.35
L Easter Fanfare—David Ashley White. This
bright and joyous choral fanfare celebrates the
joy of Easter with the familiar words of St. John of
Damascus. The optional brass quartet and timpani
parts are not at all difficult, making them easily
performable by amateur musicians. The music is
original, though reminiscent of familiar Easter carols
including The Strife Is O'er and Good Christians All,
Rejoice and Sing.
11167119 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.00
l Entrance Antiphons for the Easter Season—
arr. Maureen Briare. This simple and solemn
arrangement of The Roman Missal Entrance
Antiphons sets a prayerful and jubilant tone for
each of the Sundays of the Easter Season. Flexible
performance options are included, from full choir,
organ, guitar, and handbells to simply cantor and
keyboard. Since these antiphons are not lengthy,
if there is to be a short entrance procession, this
setting could be used as the song for the entrance
procession. "Alleluia!"
11316912 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.65
l
Glory—Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov/arr. Terry Price.
Adapted from Slava, opus 21, this arrangement
brings Rimsky-Korsakov's classic Russian choral
piece to a wider audience. The original Russian
text has been replaced with a hymn by the
arranger that draws inspiration from words by
Reginald Heber, verses from Revelation, and the
liturgy. It is particularly suitable for Easter as well
as for general use. Price's arrangement of this
rousing tune may be accompanied by organ or
brass ensemble, allowing for performance in both
church and concert settings. For performances
with brass, the organ part included in the
instrumental set should be used rather than the
part in the vocal score.

l He Is Risen—Alan Bullard. The joy of the
opening and closing sections can be communi-
cated with precise diction and rhythm, in contrast
with the expressive central section. The 7/8
measures of the melody are always grouped
2+2+3, with an accent on the beginning of the
3. Once that rhythm is firm, the soprano descant
in the last verse can soar triumphantly over all.
Accompanied by organ or piano, this will be a
great addition to your Easter repertoire.

skill levels, this arrangement will provide you a
beautiful Easter anthem.
