LITURGICAL ANTHEMS
L 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,
the lush added-note harmony ebbs and flows
expressively toward radiant climaxes. Significant
divisi throughout. Lovely.

L 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.

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!

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 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.

Rejoice in the Lord—David Bednall. This fast
and festive setting of Psalm 33 moves along in a
joyful dance. After an exuberant opening, a lively
organ passage leads into a beautiful moment of
stillness in the choir, unaccompanied, creating
an effective contrast before an emphatic closing
statement of rejoicing.
11315628 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.25
H Requiem—Eliza Gilkyson/arr. Craig Hella Johnson.
Singer/songwriter Eliza Gilkyson wrote Requiem as a
song of grief following the Asian tsunami in December
2004, and the song found a renewed audience after
Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region.
This setting by Conspirare conductor Craig Hella
Johnson is powerful in its emotional impact.
10045096 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
L Sanctus—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!

L
Set Me as a Seal—Robert Scholz/arr. David Scholz.
The familiar Song of Solomon text is 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.

D Set Me as a Seal—Michael John Trotta. Elegant
Lt simplicity is the hallmark of this shimmering setting
of a favorite text: "Set me as a seal upon your heart
... for love is as strong as death." Straightforward
rhythms, careful management of vocal ranges,
and a judicious use of close cluster harmonies
put this work well within the reach of many choirs.
A perfect choice for choirs looking to establish a
more mature sound and musical sensitivity.

lL Sing Hallelujah to God—Horatio Parker/ed.
David P. DeVenney. From the American Romantic
Choral Series comes this classical choral piece.
Horatio Parker was a professor at Yale and one
of the most influential composers of his time. His
mastery of contrapuntal writing makes this an
excellent teaching piece as well as a worthy anthem
for concert or worship.
11342373 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.55
L Song of the Earth—Dan Forrest. This piece is
the sixth movement from Dan Forrest's extended
work "Jubilate Deo." Here published separately, the
piece calls for mixed chorus, optional treble chorus,
and piano, organ, or orchestra. This movement can
easily stand alone and is particularly appropriate for
Earth Day concerts as well as other performances.

Source of All Healing—Michael John Trotta. This
outstanding original anthem quietly brings the listener
into a prayerful time seeking wholeness. Recalling
miracles of healing, the response is to ask for healing
in body and soul. Slightly discordant harmonies recall
sin and pain before a beautiful harmonic refrain
responds, "Come, Holy Jesus, abide with me now."
A wide dynamic range brings the inspired words to
life, and the ministry of the message speaks to any
worship gathering with firm assurance.
11347590 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
l Still—Heather Sorenson. This sacred tone poem
is a prayer for peace and a plea for healing of the
heart. The anthem rises from a single tone, ebbing
and flowing into harmony, then back into simplicity
with just a touch of dissonance. As the words
become more impassioned, flowing piano interludes
match their intensity. This petition for calm begins to
quiet as the anthem winds down, allowing the prayer
to end in hushed chords of assurance.
11347591 SATB divisi. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
L Teach Me, O Lord—David Ashley White. Psalm
139 is filled with memorable verses, and David
Ashley White has chosen two for this lyrical anthem.
The rising and falling melodic lines have a yearning
quality that fits the invocatory nature of the text.
11167115 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
There Is Joy in the Morning!—Gwyneth Walker.
Conveying a message of joy after darkness and
dancing after sorrow, this setting of Psalm 30
features accessible SATB writing with some brief
divisi, short solos for soprano and baritone, and
a short a cappella passage. The supportive piano
accompaniment is, by turns, boldly energetic and
lyrically flowing.
11164423 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
L This Is My Servant—Alfred V. Fedak. Words
from Isaiah 42 make this an excellent anthem
for occasions celebrating service, especially
ordinations, anniversaries, and retirements. Fedak's
dignified and lyrical music is homophonic and easy
to sing, making this an especially good choice for
those occasions when a massed choir or visiting
members are involved. Beginning moderately, the
piece builds to a broad and exultant conclusion.

D Ubi Caritas—Michael John Trotta. The beloved
Lt Latin text is set in an elegantly simple texture with
conservative ranges. Straightforward rhythms and
moments of release create a tapestry of sound that
surrounds the optional solo chant line, which may
be sung by a soloist or performed by a C instrument.
Beautiful modern harmonies and cluster chords
create an artistic setting that is equally appropriate
for service use or the concert stage. Lovely!

What Is Peace?—Kim Andre Arnesen. "Peace,
like war, must be waged - mindfully, deliberately,
with arms ever ready and eyes wide open." Striking
modern harmonies declare the importance of
Charles Anthony Silvestri's profound text on the
nature of peace, dramatically set for mixed or
treble choirs with the option to perform a cappella
or with piano or harp accompaniment. Taken
from Arnesen's major work "Tuvayhun," this third
movement is also known as The Peacemakers.
