Thy Kingdom Come
Karen Marrolli.

Ubi Caritas Michael John Trotta.
DLt
The beloved Latin text is set in an elegantly simple texture with
conservative ranges. Straightforward rhythms and moments of
release create a tapestry of sound that surrounds the optional solo
chant line, which may be sung by a soloist or performed by a
C instrument. Beautiful modern harmonies and cluster chords
create an artistic setting that is equally appropriate for service use
or the concert stage. Lovely!

What Does It Cost to Follow Jesus?
Michael S. Bryson.
This new anthem of dedication will be a wonderful addition to your
choir's repertoire. Unison tenor-bass voices ask questions in the
first verse, while treble voices give scriptural answers with lovely
harmonies in the second. All voices join on the third verse with a
message of commitment to follow Jesus. An inspiring key change
cleverly introduces the folk song I Have Decided to Follow Jesus,
which acts as a partner song to the original melody. The wedding
of these two melodies creates a single heartfelt expression of
dedication. A delightful flute part is included.

When I Sing
Rebecca Fair/arr. Roger Thornhill.
This simple piece delivers a message of assurance and hope: God
will be with you always. Use with adults and young voices singing
together for optimal impact. The optional sign language will leave
a lingering effect on those gathered, making this a wonderful
choice for any time of the year.

Shelter Me
Protegeme
J. Michael Joncas.
Written in response to the COVID-19 crisis, this piece is based on the
beloved Psalm 23 and seeks to help the faithful find God's presence
even in difficult times. The Spanish text by Santiago Fernandez, while
not a literal translation, is faithful to the concepts and imagery of
Joncas' text. "All will be well if only you will shelter me."

Sing Out with Gladness
Lee Dengler.
Based on Psalm 148, this anthem of praise invites all creation
to "sing out with gladness" and worship the Lord. Great as a
multigenerational opportunity, this sparkling song may also be
used for adults alone. Piano and a variety of optional percussion
instruments provide an expressive calypso-style accompaniment for
the jovial melody that's easy to learn and fun to sing.

Still We Sing Alleluia
Paulo K. Tirol.
Written during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, this poignant
and beautiful devotional song affirms our belief in God's grace and
love, especially in the midst of darkness and pain. No matter the
grief, "Alleluia." Large melodic leaps, melismas, and expressive
key changes musically depict the intensity of emotion behind this
belief. This is a moderately difficult vocal solo supported by SATB
divisi choir and accompanied by piano, flute, and/or guitar.

Still, Small Voice
Douglas Nolan.
Gentle and sweet, this accessible anthem for worship is a quiet call
to listen in the silence for the still, small voice of God. The lovely
melody with a somewhat lower vocal range brings warmth and
a conversational element to your service. The piano supports and
adds color to this reflective anthem.

Things That Never Die
Brad Nix.
The thoughtful poem by Charles Dickens provides the inspiration
for this lovely work. "The pure, the bright, the beautiful that stirred
our hearts in youth... the striving after better hopes; these things can
never die." With this comforting message, both church and school
ensembles will be enriched by this musical setting.

This We Proclaim
David Schwoebel.
A credo for the worshipping congregation, this missions-forward
choral acclamation is a satisfying and unifying choice for any
gathering of God's people. With rich choral parts and a piano
accompaniment that brings depth and power, this anthem is a
rallying call to the modern church.
