neighbors, what do we see? This endearing
two-part piece celebrates the wonderful diversity
of our communities and neighborhoods, with
a gentle challenge to see one another as God
sees us: beautiful children of the world. Set in
both English and Spanish, this accessible piece
extends a hand of welcome and embrace,
asserting that "we are more than neighbors, we
are family." Includes the composer's thoughtfully
updated text for Jesus Loves the Little Children.
A perfect selection for elementary and middle
school choirs!

themselves. Set with a Caribbean feel, it has a solo
feature that can easily be performed by a group of
singers. Such a delight to sing in sacred or secular
settings! Highly recommended!

faith. The jovial flutes in the intermittent interludes

Hope in Me—Terre Johnson. Composer Terre
Johnson's adaptation of Isaiah 40:21 is in the first
person, so it appears as if God's reassuring voice
is speaking through the choir. Easy SATB writing
is complemented by the piano, and the violin and
clarinet alternately support and soar above the
choir. This anthem is especially appropriate for the
fifth Sunday after Epiphany, Year B.

I Am a Lamb—Erik Whitehill. This charming
anthem tells the story of the lost sheep in a
delightful way! Whimsical verses offer the story's
details, and the memorable refrain assures us
that Jesus will always look after us, even when we
wander. Optional flute and finger cymbal parts add
to the charm of this unison anthem, and the score
also includes chords for guitar accompaniment.

belongs to such as these" (Matt. 19:14). Versatile
and easy, the anthem may be accompanied by just
piano, or combined with flute, harp, and/or strings.

from composer Toni Sullivan. Easy-to-learn rhythmic
and melodic patterns can be explored by beginning

melodic repetition so children can identify melodic
movement, and the stepwise motion in the B section
makes it a cinch to follow the melody up and down
the staff. Includes a page with teaching tips.

Love Thee, and an optional C instrument descant
add interest.
