setting of the Lux aeterna antiphon, first sung by the

L Maya's Prayer for Peace—Tom Trenney.
For SATB and piano, this original setting of
Maya Angelou's poem Prayer is in a soulful 6/8.
Beginning with a series of thanks, the piece has
a slower middle section with a series of petitions,
beginning, "For those who have no voice, we ask
you to speak." Then the music of the first section
reappears, and the piece closes with a prayer for
peace. This is an unusual and powerful musical
offering for any occasion focusing on justice and
social concerns.

the piano accompaniment.

percussion is available and while it is scored for

all love.

work offers a text replete with emotion in a setting
equal to its depth. Beautiful!

expressive lament. Thoughtful and engaging.

lyrical, smooth, and melodic with a growing
intensity. The mixed meters are used to emphasize

anthem any time of year.

4t O Lord, Support Us—Ben Ponniah. British
composer Ben Ponniah's reputation has grown
dramatically following the release of an album of his
music performed by the Selwyn College Choir. O
Lord, Support Us is his moving setting of the famous
prayer by John Henry Newman, renowned clergyman
and author of the Victorian period. This serene a
cappella anthem is well written and moving. Fine
choirs will enjoy the challenge of this piece.

4L O Nata Lux de Lumine—Annabel Rooney.
t Annabel Rooney has written a richly beautiful
setting of the familiar Latin prayer meaning "Light
born of light." Beginning with a simple texture,

divisi throughout. Lovely.

4L Ocean of Light—Carson Cooman. The words
of Phineas Fletcher receive a vibrant setting by
Carson Cooman in this anthem that depicts God
as the sun that is the "ocean of light," filling the
world. Dissonant yet filled with wonder. An excellent
cathedral-like anthem.

Lt A Prayer of Compassion—Gwyneth Walker.
This sensitive, prayerful, and approachable setting
of text from the Psalms and Whitter's Divine
Compassion contains reflective moments that
give way to grandness while bringing forward
the message that in today's world of increasing
violence and global awareness of atrocities, we are
often challenged to remain sensitive to suffering, to
respond with "a heart that still can feel and eyes
that can still weep."

A Prayer of St Columba—Cecilia McDowall.
Taken from The Oxford Book of Easy Flexible
Anthems, this is an expressive and emotive anthem
with appealing, arching melodies underpinned
by a sparkling keyboard part. Meaningful and
well-crafted.
10957597 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .3.00
Psallite Gloria—Michael J. Joncas. Joyful and
exuberant in nature, this edition begins with a
repeated refrain in Latin, with the rest of the setting
in English. While the enjoyable lilt of the tune
continues throughout, the changes in tonality and
tempo highlight the differentiation between portions
of praise and those of petition. A nice option for
celebrations of lesser festivity.
10954468 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25
Psallite Gloria - Festival Edition—Michael J.
Joncas. The Psallite Mass, particularly its joyful
Gloria movement, has long been a favorite of choirs
everywhere and has now been updated to be
consistent with the 2010 translation of the Roman
Missal. This setting of the "Glory to God" alternates
Latin with English text with richer and more
extensive choral parts. This joyful and exuberant
festival edition of this work is set for choir, assembly,
cantor, brass quintet, timpani, and organ.
10954473 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25
l Psalm 100: Make Joyful Noise—Clayton White.
This anthem is a reduction of Clayton White's four-
movement cantata on Psalm 100. Opening with a
"joyful noise" in the form of quartal harmonies in
both chordal and contrapuntal parts, contrasting
sections then follow: a slower a cappella section,
followed by lyric treble voices over a flowing
accompaniment, which then rebuilds to the opening
volume, ending as it began, with a joyful noise to fill
the sanctuary!

4 Psalm 139—Michael Burkhardt. A mysterious
introduction using keyboard, optional handbells,
and oboe gives way to a slow, lyrical 6/8 setting of
the psalm. Almost like a courtly dance, the tempo
fluctuates with the spirit of the text. After a reprise
of the introductory material, the anthem becomes
almost through-composed, reflecting the emotional
arch of the words. Some a cappella sections
provide nice contrast.

Psalm 150—Philip Stopford. This festive psalm
setting is a romp! Glorious in its color, interaction
with the organ, and its energy. The choral parts
provide some challenge, and the organ part will
require an accomplished organist. Stopford's
careful attention to the text and color make this a
rousing and engaging setting of a well-known text.
Highly recommended!
10912829 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.95
DL Psalm 150—Michael John Trotta. A dynamic
t
a cappella original with a festival feel! The opening
chordal style introduces a jubilant motive in the
upper voices that gives a solid foundation for
the contrasting bass part. A contrasting middle
section gives the opportunity to teach lyrical tone
and phrasing. The work finishes with a soaring
optional descant or solo. In Latin throughout, with
the English translation included. Exciting!
10947977 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.35
lL Psalm 19—James J. Chepponis. This festive
setting of Psalm 19 alternates refrains and
different sets of verses, making it work in multiple
liturgies where Psalm 19 is appointed. Both
assembly and choral writing are very singable and
can be sung in English, Spanish, or a combination
of the two. Accompaniment options include organ
or chamber orchestra.

4L Sanctus (from "Requiem for the Living")—
Dan Forrest. A number of movements from
Requiem for the Living by Dan Forrest comfortably
stand alone. The Sanctus, movement IV from
the work, is scored for divisi mixed chorus with
keyboard or orchestra (full or chamber). For
the advanced church, collegiate, or community
ensemble, the piece could easily open a concert or
be used on Christ the King Sunday. Powerful!

4 Sanctus—Michael John Trotta. The final
installment of the Missa Brevis, this peaceful work
features opportunities for unison singing and the
development of independent part singing. With
conservative ranges and opportunities to focus
on pure vowels and text accentuation, this is an
elegant addition to any concert or service. Combine
with Trotta's other Latin works Kyrie, Gloria and
Agnus Dei to create the full Missa Brevis. Now
available for mixed voices.

4 Set Me as a Seal—Robert Scholz/arr. David
Scholz. A SATB setting of the familiar Song of
Solomon text framed by modern liturgy and for
love is of God (1 John 4:7). All parts share in
delivering and supporting the warm melody and
rich harmonies, connected by a solo instrumental
line. Emotionally moving, romantic style.
