Buckley Farlee. Choir, organ, and brass trade joyful

This piece is a perfect choice for a festive Easter
morning celebration or spring concert. The mixed

hauntingly joyful tonality, paying homage to the
mysterious story of Mary. A beautiful middle section
is surrounded by contrasting modal beginning and
ending sections. The juxtaposition of sustained and
moving moments holds true to the composer's style,

t —Daniel Knaggs. Inspired by Ave Maria composed
by the Renaissance Spanish composer Francisco

motive and uses the specific, slightly altered Latin
text that he set. It is a beautiful choice for four-part
mixed a cappella choirs.

Be Still—Patrick Hawes. A setting of the well-
known phrase from Psalm 46, "Be still, and know
that I am God" for choir and piano. The piano's
repeated chordal patterns flow gently throughout,
and the long legato choral lines help the listener
drift into a world of peace and beauty. The
composer wrote this piece early one morning when
all was still and shrouded in a thin mist. Beautiful!

easy-to-learn refrain invites participation from all
as it moves through the themes and images of the

movement and a unique timbre under the choral
parts. Perfect for use during any time of the year.
10954457 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.00
Can We Sing the Darkness to Light?—Kyle
Pederson. The text of this work invites the listener
to imagine a world without weapons of war where
the human experience is defined through the lens
of mercy and compassion. The music is peaceful
and very appropriate to the text with little divisi in the
choral parts and a supportive piano accompaniment.

lt Cantate Domino—Pete Deshler. Combining the
traditional Latin text from Psalm 149 with driving
rhythms and rich, contemporary harmonies, this

modern motet, the dance-like texture is joyous and
accented, with moving harmonies and overlapping
lines that build to a thrilling conclusion.

4 Cantate Domino—David von Kampen. This lively
and joyful piece composed in 2/2 by David von

When the choir joins, a playful dialogue occurs
between the Latin refrain and English verses from
Psalm 98. With a somber middle bridge, the song
finishes triumphantly, declaring "Cantate Domino!"
11204472 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.90
4L Chorister's Prayer—Craig Phillips. The beloved
text of the Choristers' Prayer, "Bless, O Lord, us Thy
servants who minister in Thy temple" is set warmly
by Craig Phillips. The vocal lines may be sung either
by unison treble voices or with the inclusion of an
optional lower second part in a few spots. Lovely.
11167112 Unison/Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . .2.00

prayer for every choir member or pastoral musician
who makes music for the church. Suitable for use in

Daley's new tune has a beautiful arch to it and

piece to a great conclusion.
