Portrait—Diane Hannibal/arr. Joseph M.
Martin. From the cantata Portraits in Grace,
this singular text is brought forward wrapped
in simple yet profound music. The folk-song
quality of the melody matches well with poetic
imagery to share how God is reflected in
creation. We hear His voice "in the singing of
the birds." We "see His face in ev'ry flower."
"His crown is twined with our ev'ry thorn"
and "His cross is ev'ry tree." A supportive
and impressionistic piano accompaniment
completes the painting.

sinner. A simple folk-like melody and basic
harmonies combine with accessible choral
writing to lend a charming innocence to this
selection. The optional cello obbligato adds
to the beauty.

yet profound, this anthem is a quiet call to
listen, learn, and live.

Sorenson. One of the most poignant of all
scriptures is interpreted for today, set to music

and energy of the B section. The work comes to
a peaceful conclusion with the phrase, "by His

Larson. Based on the text of the familiar
Appalachian folk hymn but with new music, this
emotive arrangement features a descending

was sinking down." The hollow sound of open
fifths with a flowing piano accompaniment
illustrates the blend of despair of Christ's death
and the hope of the resurrection.

What Wondrous Love Is This—arr. Brian
L. Hanson. Artistic and sensitive, Hanson's

into a strong choral presentation mirroring the
text. Gorgeous harmonies in the choral lines
have both traditional and modern elements,
while the piano accompaniment employs open
fifths and flowing lines to create a growing
texture of beauty and expression. A brief a
cappella section and the stirring interludes are
highlights, making this setting very special.
