L Let Us Plead for Faith Alone—Josh Bauder. Let
Us Plead for Faith Alone is a dynamic, energetic
anthem from Josh Bauder that melds a Charles
Wesley text with a lively, classical musical feel.
The accessible vocal counterpoint provides musical
interest for the singers that culminates in the strong
prayer of desire for "sola fide," faith alone. Full and
chamber orchestrations are available to add to the
driving piano accompaniment. This octavo is taken
from a larger work from Josh Bauder and Jubal
House, Grace Alone, JH-1370.

Life Is a Journey—Joseph M. Martin. Opening
with a quote of "Oh, who will come and go with me"
(PROMISED LAND), this quiet invitation gives way to
an original tune and text reflecting on the blessings
of life. A crescendo and modulation transform the
theme into a portrait of the Shepherd who "stays
by our side...our teacher and guide." The optional
oboe is an expressive addition.
