LITURGICAL GENERAL ANTHEMS
t Eternal Light—Edward Eicker. An ethereal a
cappella choral piece that will challenge and
gratify any choir who sings it. The eighth-
century text by Alcuin of York is rendered
imaginatively and to good effect. Both choir
and congregation will be inspired by the
evocative and refreshing harmonies.

Even When God Is Silent—Robert Farrell.
This choral anthem sets to music the moving
words believed to have been inscribed on a
wall in Germany during the Holocaust. The
use of trumpet adds to the haunting nature
of this setting which is both bold yet crafted
with sensitivity. Some chromatic passages and
the wide range of dynamics will benefit from
careful rehearsal.

L Exsultate! Jubilate!—Kyle Pederson. This
unique setting pairs the iconic Latin text with
a new, original English text which responds
to the question: Why do we rejoice and shout
our praises to God? The music captures the
energy, rhythm, and exuberance inherent in
the phrases "exsultate Deo" and "jubilate Deo,"
but also reflects the quiet joys found in gratitude
for the daily gifts of breath and light. The piano
accompaniment is rhythmic and lively.

For the Music of Creation—arr. Jeremy
J. Bankson & Tom Trenney. This remarkable
arrangement is an easy but striking
congregational hymn setting of the tune
RUSTINGTON to a text by Shirley Erena Murray.
Stanzas one and three are in unison (three
with descanting "ahs"). Stanza two invites the
choir and even the congregation to sing in four
parts! This can be as streamlined as you need
it to be, but it can also expand by use of the
optional brass quintet, handbells, timpani, and
crash cymbals.

Dt Glory Be—Heather Sorenson. A choral
tour de force, this unaccompanied Gloria
Patri crackles with energy. Rhythmic vitality
partners with harmonic richness, making
the piece essential for concerts and a
memorable addition to worship services.
The appearance of the time-honored All
Creatures of Our God and King creates

an excellent choice for blended worship
formats. New, fresh, and effective!

God of Majesty and Glory—James Biery.
Appropriate for any festive celebration, the
text sings of God's love, which created us
and carries us through the difficulties and
joys of life. The opening phrase makes a
bold statement, especially with the use of full
organ registration of mixtures and reeds. A
contrasting middle section builds back to the
feeling of the opening, then the piece ends
with full resources. Optional instrumental parts
are playable by either brass quartet or quintet,
with or without timpani.

God With Me—Sarah Quartel. This anthem
is a beautiful and meditative setting of a

collection of Gaelic hymns, prayers, and other
texts. With gentle suspensions and exquisite
harmonies, this anthem is warm, refreshing,
and uplifting, perfectly demonstrating Quartel's
signature style.

The Greatest of These—Susan M. Brown.
t
St. Paul's hymn to love found in 1 Corinthians

I Sought the Lord—Karen Marrolli. Karen
Marrolli provides an original melody for a
text first published anonymously in London
in 1878. Set in four parts with a fair amount
of unison singing, the almost folk-like tune
is singable and satisfying. The text speaks of
God's unending love that reaches for us even
as we think we are the ones reaching out.
11164580 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95
Lt An Irish Blessing—Richard Burchard.
Beginning simply with soprano 1 in unison,
this setting of the traditional text builds to a
gorgeous full four-part contrapuntal Amen. The
text then repeats, this time homophonically in
four parts, with a simpler Amen. The imagery
of the wind, the sun, and the rain makes this
text a familiar and beloved one.

Let All the Multitudes of Light—Howard
Helvey. Howard Helvey's original hymn tune,
TUPELO, is set to Frederick Brodie MacNutt's
festive text that is a great choice for Eastertide,
All Saints' Day, or other occasions. Scored for
SATB voices and organ, it opens with a stanza
for unison voices, followed by a musically
contrasting second stanza that is four-part and
mostly a cappella. The final majestic stanza
is scored primarily for unison voices with
descant, culminating in a four-part postlude.

another. Beautiful and thought provoking.

L Lift Up Your Hope—Mark Cabaniss/arr.
Mark Hayes. Opening with a fanfare-like
choral exhortation, this anthem encourages
and celebrates the gift of God's hope. The
flowing middle section uses text taken directly
from scripture which affirms God's presence
in the midst of tears. Ending as it began, the
anthem's positive, hope-affirming message is
sure to uplift and bring joy!

Lt
Locus Iste—Sally K. Albrecht & Jay
Althouse. Beginning on a unison pitch that
quickly blossoms into four-part harmony,
this a cappella setting of the traditional Latin
text is perfect for choirs looking to grow into
more complex voicings. Sensible voice-leading
and conservative intervals encourage good
intonation even through the shift to the relative
minor key. All the ingredients are here to help
your choir sound their best at their next concert
or festival performance.

Locus Iste—Will Todd. With an ever-
changing time signature, this setting of the
traditional Latin text is gentle but effective.
The colorful piano accompaniment combined

clusters in the sustained voices create a
soundscape that hints at an ethereal world.

Lost in Wonder Love and Praise—Howard
Helvey. Known for his modern approach to
hymnody Helvey's melodies have breadth and
grandeur, and his accompaniments carry the
loftiness of a high cathedral. Yet his music
sounds like it was meant for the congregation.
Truly a hymn of praise it can fit most any season.
11356935 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Lux Aeterna—Michael Bussewitz-Quarm.
Extracted from the larger work, this stand-
alone movement honors those we have lost in
mass shootings. Lux Aeterna means "eternal
light", but cast within the larger scope of
the Requiem, it shines a light on the names
of cities affected by mass shootings in the
aleatoric section. Finally, it resolves into an
expression of peace and light highlighted by
a soprano solo.
11205999 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.10
DL
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God—Kyle
Pederson. This arrangement is a true
reimagining of Martin Luther's iconic hymn
melody. New harmonies and ambient electric
guitar accompaniment create an ancient/
modern feel, giving new life to this classic
hymn. A piano-only accompaniment part is
available should you want to program this with
just the piano accompaniment.
