Drawn by His Word—David Johnson/arr. Michael
J. Joncas. This concertato scored for voices,

original text with the tune Earth and All the Stars.
Suitable for many liturgical moments, the five
stanza hymn text explores the apostolic foundation
and character of the church while the music
provides a sturdy and enduring setting that will send
the congregation forth with a sense of mission!

lt Eternal Light—Edward Eicker. An ethereal
a cappella choral piece that will challenge and
gratify any choir who sings it. The eighth-century
text by Alcuin of York is rendered imaginatively and
to good effect. Both choir and congregation will be
inspired by the evocative and refreshing harmonies.

l Even When God Is Silent—Robert Farrell.
This choral anthem sets to music the moving
words believed to have been inscribed on a wall
in Germany during the Holocaust. The use of
trumpet adds to the haunting nature of this setting
which is both bold yet crafted with sensitivity.
Some chromatic passages and the wide range of
dynamics will benefit from careful rehearsal.

4L Exsultate! Jubilate!—Kyle Pederson. This
unique setting pairs the iconic Latin text with a
new, original English text which responds to the
question: Why do we rejoice and shout our praises
to God? The music captures the energy, rhythm,
and exuberance inherent in the phrases "exsultate
Deo" and "jubilate Deo," but also reflects the quiet
joys found in gratitude for the daily gifts of breath
and light. The piano accompaniment is rhythmic
and lively.

4 For the Music of Creation—arr. Jeremy
J. Bankson & Tom Trenney. This remarkable
arrangement is an easy but striking congregational
hymn setting of the tune
RUSTINGTON to a text by
Shirley Erena Murray. Stanzas one and three are
in unison (three with descanting "ahs"). Stanza
two invites the choir and even the congregation to
sing in four parts! This can be as streamlined as
you need it to be, but it can also expand by use of
the optional brass quintet, handbells, timpani, and
crash cymbals.

of ensemble and differing uses.

treble choirs, this energetic choral work offers
an introduction to the traditional Latin text with
compound meter and accessible choral parts.

force, this unaccompanied Gloria Patri crackles with
energy. Rhythmic vitality partners with harmonic
richness, making the piece essential for concerts
and a memorable addition to worship services.
The appearance of the time-honored All Creatures

God Creating, God Sustaining—John Hughes/
arr. Michael J. Joncas. This concertato scored for
SATB voices, assembly, organ, brass quintet, and
timpani pairs an original Trinitarian text with the

references to each of the Trinity in Latin or Greek
with substitutions provided for communities that
prefer to sing only in English with the entire work
building to a doxological verse at the end.
10954465 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25
L God Is Our Refuge—Edwin Childs. Each verse of
this rich and lyrical hymn setting utilizes a different
vocal texture, shifting from men's voices to full
choir to two-part women, and culminating in a
sturdy melody with descant. A beautiful musical
affirmation of faith and trust in the Almighty!
11166756 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.20
l God of Majesty and Glory—James Biery.
Appropriate for any festive celebration, the
text sings of God's love, which created us and
carries us through the difficulties and joys of life.
The opening phrase makes a bold statement,
especially with the use of full organ registration
of mixtures and reeds. A contrasting middle
section builds back to the feeling of the opening,
then the piece ends with full resources. Optional
instrumental parts are playable by either brass
quartet or quintet, with or without timpani.

choice for special weddings where a choir is
present, or for other services when love is the focus.

t Heavenly Home—arr. Shawn Kirchner. A
collection of three early American folk hymns:
Hallelujah, a six-part a cappella setting of the
Sacred Harp tune; Angel Band, an eight-part a
cappella setting of the beloved William Bradbury
tune set to Jefferson Hascall's text; and Unclouded

treasured gospel tune by J.K. Alwood.

4t Holy Is the True Light—Robert Benson. Voiced
for a cappella double choir (SSAATTBB) and
making effective use of added-tone chords and
modal harmonic progressions, this brilliant setting
of Palmer's translation from the Salisbury Diurnal
will be a satisfying challenge for advanced choirs.

especially the eternal light of heaven, and close with
a festive string of "alleluias," making it an excellent
choice for All Saints liturgies.

L I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say—arr. Sondra K.

and general use. Amazing!

4 I Sought the Lord—Karen Marrolli. Karen Marrolli
provides an original melody for a text first published
anonymously in London in 1878. Set in four parts
with a fair amount of unison singing, the almost
folk-like tune is singable and satisfying. The text
speaks of God's unending love that reaches for us
even as we think we are the ones reaching out.
11164580 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.95

4L In Christ There Is No East or West—Alan Bullard.
A lyrical new melody is paired with Oxenham's

and the final verse features a soaring soprano section
in quasi-echo of the other voices.

4 Isaiah, Mighty Seer in Days of Old—arr.
Matthew Machemer. This hymn concertato begins
mysteriously as the choir sings a setting of the plain
song upon which the hymn is based. After a brief
interlude, the congregation sings the hymn, which
culminates in a grand crescendo at the text "Holy
is God, the Lord of Sabaoth." The setting closes
with the choir singing a coda based on the same
plainsong that began the hymn.
11204489 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.80
Lt Jesu, the Very Thought of Thee—David Ashley
White. This a cappella setting is a modified strophic
design with the alternating tonic and mediant
chords, first seen and heard in the initial two
measures, acting as a recurring idea or motive
throughout the work. Expressive and approachable,
this will fast become a favorite of both the singers
and the congregation.

4t Kyrie (from the "Missa Brevis San Francesco
d' Assisi")—Anthony Bernarducci. This glorious
four-part mixed divisi a cappella setting combines
text from the Kyrie of the Ordinary of the Mass with
text from the Prayer of St. Francis. Moving ethereally
through textural changes and harmonic shifts, it was
written in commemoration of James Jordan's 25th
anniversary at Westminster Choir College.

to Frederick Brodie MacNutt's festive text that is a
great choice for Eastertide, All Saints' Day, or other
occasions. Scored for SATB voices and organ, it

L
Let Us Break Bread Together—arr. Gwyneth
Walker. Utilizing the traditional African American
tune, this artistic setting focuses on two central
images: breaking bread together in communion
and fellowship, and falling on one's knees
in prayer. Both images have liturgical and
community references of the messages of healing
and humility. The first two verses are familiar, but
a new verse has been added to address the time
of great divisions in our country, when there is a
need for strength through unity. "Let us rise up
together as one."
