L This Is My Story and Song!—arr. Lloyd Larson.
"Praising my Savior all the day long!" Lloyd Larson

Assurance, Jesus Is Mine; Praise Him! Praise Him!;
To God Be the Glory and He Hideth My Soul. It is sure
to have congregations smiling and singing along.

This Little Light of Mine—Mack Wilberg. This
radiant anthem is an arrangement of the hymn tune
LATTIMER, often paired with the popular gospel song,
This Little Light of Mine. Wilberg gives each section
of the choir a presentation of the melody, before
building toward a climatic finish with new harmony
and texture as light spreads "across the land."

D The Time of Song—David Schwoebel. Divided
into two sections, this anthem begins with a
passage from the Song of Solomon and offers it
in a pleasing 3/4 tune that celebrates the birth
of Spring. The second section is a syncopated
theme with Zulu text punctuating English in a
spirited invitation to praise. Oboe and percussion
instruments are strong additions.

To First Seek the Kingdom—Michael John Trotta.
This sublime new look at beloved texts employs an
economy of choral writing. The SATB choral texture
is shaded by sections of unison writing, with some
brief points of a cappella writing and divisi. The
innovative approach to the text utilizes a question-
and-answer format with the question sung in a
subdued fashion and the answer intensifying in
range, complexity, and volume. The piano and flute
parts provide an underlying momentum.
11164411 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
D
Trust in the Lord—John Purifoy. Based upon
Proverbs 3:5-6 and Philippians 4:4-8, this
anthem's theme is the foundational truth of faith in
God. Lush harmonies offer color and a key change
lends power before winding down to a reflective
ending. The memorable original melody is easily
sung by optional congregation.
11201320 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
L Ubi Caritas Pastoralis—Craig Courtney. This
stunning setting of the traditional Latin text is so rich
and so deep that the music perfectly matches the
quietly profound ardor of the timeless plainchant.
The clarinet provides an ethereal counterpoint
to the SATB divisi a cappella voices that are lush
with occasional cluster harmonies. Intended for a
capable choir, it can be performed in both worship
and concert settings.
11166198 SATB Divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
L
Undivided—Karen Marrolli. The desire for
people of different backgrounds, experiences, and
ideologies to come together for the common good
was the inspiration behind this folk-like piece. This
work speaks to ideas of peace, unity, respect, and
understanding and is appropriate for both sacred
and secular settings. Composed for mixed chorus,
piano, violin, and violoncello; the alto and soprano
soloists are optional.

11199383 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.60
DL Use Me, Lord—Shirli L. Hughes. This ardent,
lovely prayer of commitment to do God's will is
accompanied by a rapturous piano accompaniment
and optional violin and cello, which are especially
effective in the interludes. The final stanza opens
with chorusing alleluias that spring from the texture
because they are unaccompanied. Very effective for
confirmations, baptisms, and dedication Sundays.

L Walking with God—Joshua Hummel. This well-
known text by William Cowper has been set in a
number of styles. Composer Josh Hummel gives
us a new setting for mixed chorus with piano. The
lyrical style and interesting harmonic language
provide us an excellent work for the church is also
appropriate in some academic settings.

D The Waters of Grace—Joseph M. Martin.
Steadily flowing with the refreshing message of
God's mercy and grace, this lilting folk-style anthem
is a quick learn for your singers. A thinner choral
texture allows for lyrical clarity and lightness of
timbre as the invitation goes out to come to "the
waters of grace" to be renewed and refreshed. A
call-and-response anthem, ideal for rededication or
baptism services.
11317473 SAB with opt. Flute. . . . . . . . . . 2.25
D We Are Not Alone—Pepper Choplin. "We are
t not alone, God is with us." Here is an anthem
that succinctly captures a confident thought and
presents it in such a straightforward, honest way
that you can't help but be moved! Gently rhythmic
choral ostinati support a soprano solo that glides
above the other voices in smooth, sustained lines.
Accessible and effective with large or smaller
choirs, this anthem touches the heart with its
simple but profound message. Originally conceived
as an a capella anthem, optional orchestration adds
a dramatic element.

D We Sing to You Creator God—Ralph Manuel.
An imaginative melody cradles a classic Isaac
Watts text in this anthem celebrating the creative
majesty of God. Restrained yet effective part writing
brings the message to the heart of the listener
and the approachable piano part adds color and
grace. An anthem replete with awe and worship,
the text is appropriate any time but especially in
moments encouraging the church to be caretakers
of creation. Splendid writing!
11199356 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10

Welcome—Jeffrey Blersch. Based on the story of
the prodigal son, the text reminds listeners that just

loving arms, so does our heavenly Father welcome
us home again and again. This anthem is based on
the text and tune from the Lutheran Service Book,
As Rebels, Lord, Who Foolishly Have Wandered.

section. The accompaniment works well for piano
but is easily adapted for organ.

When the Storms of Life Are Raging—arr.
Victor C. Johnson. This text has challenged and
inspired many through the years, calling on God
to stay by your side during difficult times. This
setting is a gentle reimagining of the words, rich
with a new melody and heartfelt harmonies. The
more lyrical approach, with lovely piano styling,
sheds new light on the treasured text to affirm
our community and need for fellowship. Truly a
song for our time!

Nolan. The simple melody in this gentle anthem
reminds the listener of the heartbeat of the gospel:
God is love! Appropriate any time, the song is both
approachable and arranged for success. "Oh, let
God's love flow through me, like the air I breathe,
ev'ry word that I say, be a testament of grace."
11347992 SAB and Cello . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
Who But the Lord?—Craig Courtney. An opening
tenor/bass chant of a lesser-known verse of O
Come, O Come, Emmanuel sets the stage for this
contemplative consideration of Isaiah 58. While
perfect for Advent, the encouraging, hopeful nature
of the text makes it useful year round.

l With Heart and Voice, Rejoice!—Lloyd
Larson. This festive call to praise affirms the
voice of worship and invites the world to sing
along. New melodies for familiar texts give choirs
much to work with as they seek a full, confident
sound. The inclusion of the Norwegian hymn tune
LANDAS with the How Can I Keep from Singing text
is a moving moment as choirs find their voices
once again.

Ht The Word Was God—Rosephanye Powell. What
an impact this august anthem will have on both
choir and listeners! Its rhythmic structure develops
from the superb interplay between the voices, and
the layering of sound upon sound creates a musical
tapestry. Written in an almost spiritual style, but
definitely not a spiritual, this will make a stunning
choice for larger church choirs!

second verse develops harmonically with parallel
chords to sweep the listener up. Unapologetically
Christ-centered, the message of the text is
delivered clearly with hymnlike dignity.

Lt stunningly expressive work was commissioned by

expansiveness: "Your voice brings hope!"

traditional Irish blessing is scored for mixed or treble
voices and piano, with deft strokes of Celtic styling
and a melody that weaves throughout the vocal
texture. Gradually building in intensity, it transitions
into the final stanza with a burst of light, aided by a
key change, then slowly draws to a quiet close.
