l Amazing Grace—arr. Benjamin David Knoedler.
This marvelous new arrangement of the classic
hymn begins with children "oohing" the melody
over a quiet piano accompaniment. Their sustained
"oohs" continue while the piano takes a verse.
Two sung verses are followed by the hymn ending
as gently as it began. This is a lovely, effective
arrangement of the familiar hymn that can be sung
by adults as well as children.

D
Arise and Sing!—Patricia Mock/arr. Michael
Barrett. Joyful confidence surrounds this rhythmic
anthem of praise! Unfolding gradually with a series
of musical steps, the opening paints the title in
vivid hues. A lightly contemporary theme delivers
syncopations with well-crafted vocal contours, and
the full and rich choral sound of the refrain affirms
the call to worship with singing. A brief quote from
When Morning Gilds the Skies adds contrast and a
familiar element to the presentation.

it provides reflective beauty for worship.

L Awake, My Soul—Elaine Hagenberg. A brilliant,
pulsating piano introduction announces the dawn
and invites the voices to join with escalating calls
to "Awake, my soul!" As the pulsing continues,
the vocal counterpoint gives way to the chordal
acclamation, "I will awaken the dawn!" This setting
of Psalm 57:8-11 requires an above average
accompanist and an energetic choir, but the artistic
result will be worth the effort.
11166185 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
L Awake My Soul, Give Thanks and Sing—Craig
Courtney. Based upon the truths of Psalm 57,

accompaniment adds gravitas.

D Be Silent—J.B. Taylor/arr. Heather Sorenson.
Luminous and comforting, this setting of a lesser-
known Fanny Crosby text is quiet, lovely, and
reflects the text beautifully. The creative piano
accompaniment is an equal partner in the anthem

way. This accessible, thoughtful anthem gives
opportunity to work on both musical and spiritual
aspects. An optional cello part is included.

I am God." This anthem of sonority and depth is a

forsakes," the One who brings peace and comfort
in time of need. Richly scored for voices and piano,
this is a superb choice for moments of prayer,
memorials, and commissioning services that will
leave your congregation breathless.

Be Still, My Child—Lee Dengler. This thoughtful
anthem of comfort uses lovely harmonies and
short a cappella sections to create a hushed and
awestruck mood. Incorporating the hymn tune

of quiet reverence. Beautiful and moving!

beloved text and tune (SLANE)
are here arranged
into a moving piece for SATB voice and organ with

of each verse beautifully reflect the text, from
the simplicity of verse 1 to the rich a cappella
harmonies of verse 4, to the dance-like energy of
the final verse. This piece will make a grand and
moving addition to any service, from ordinations to
general worship.

L Bless His Holy Name—Mark Shepperd. A lilting
6/8 setting of Psalm 103, this is scored for SATB
voices, descant, and congregation, with piano and
optional 3-5 octave handbells. First the choir sings
the antiphon and the congregation copies it. Then
the choir sings a verse, and when the antiphon
returns, it is sung in canon. A final verse with
antiphon and descant leads to a brief concluding
coda for choir alone.

l Bless the Lord, O My Soul—John A. Behnke.
Adapted from Psalm 103, this accessible and joyful
setting is useful throughout the church year. Solid
three-part writing with limited range for the bass
part makes this a great choice for slim Sundays or
for a trio. The addition of the flute adds an extra
layer of sound for a richer texture.

Blessed Are Those—Benjamin Harlan. This
through-composed SATB setting of the Beatitudes
moves peacefully through the shifting text, unified
by the underlying triplet figure in the organ
accompaniment. The tonal center changes as if to
center on each "blessed," eventually returning to
D major for a calm but assuring conclusion.

D Bright and Beautiful—Joseph M. Martin. This
familiar hymn is treated to a lighthearted setting
that is an easy learn for your ensemble. The
addition of children's choir supports treble voices,
teaches the hymn, and provides an opportunity
for a multigenerational moment. Beautiful
"alleluias" lead into a final verse with descant that
makes the arrangement shine in a new way. Use
this song for the Blessing of the Animals service
or any time when celebrating God's creation.
Highly recommended!

God's hands."

ministry tool!

Ceaseless Praise—Tracey Craig McKibben
& Michelle Christensen. "Take my life and let
it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee... Take my
moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless
praise." Drawing on the classic hymn lyrics, the
composers have created a heartfelt song of love
and commitment, offering the Lord our ceaseless
praise. Beautiful, well-written, and useful.

D The Chorister's Prayer—Jacob Dishman. This
anthem speaks to the heart of our calling as church
musicians. The familiar prayer "that what we sing
with our lips we may believe in our hearts, and what
we believe in our hearts we may show forth in our
lives" is set to music equally deep and meaningful,
lush and lovely. This anthem of prayer will become
a classic for choirs and musicians for years to come.
11317119 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
Christ Be Beside Me—Scot Crandal. This is
an exciting setting of James Quinn's adaption of
the beloved prayer, St. Patrick's Breastplate. This
scoring for SAB choir and keyboard includes a
skillfully arranged descant, optional B-flat trumpet
part, and a two-page guitar accompaniment with
plenty of accessible and interesting chords. This
text is perfectly suited for expressing the love of
the Church for Christ, and is especially appropriate
for weddings as the text conveys the sacramental
symbolism of marriage.

L
Christ Be with Me—Michael S. Bryson.
Combining two Irish prayers, St. Patrick's
Breastplate and Be Thou My Vision, and
incorporating the tune
SLANE, this simple and
effective anthem proclaims a powerful idea:
the desire to have Christ be with us always and
everywhere, beside us and within us, to comfort
and restore us. The enticing melody is easily
learned and makes this useful for confirmation,
ordination, and any service of commitment.
