LITURGICAL GENERAL ANTHEMS
HD The Music of Living—Dan Forrest. This
powerful and inspirational piece with a
dynamic piano accompaniment was composed
for a performance at the 2011 Texas Music
Educators Association Convention. This
exuberant work will challenge your choir, but it
will be worth the work in the end. Optional full
score with violin, horn, timpani, and percussion
is available and while it is scored for TTBB
voices, it can be used with the SATB version.

My Love Has Died for Me—Will Todd. This
piece is taken from Passion Music, a concert
and liturgical work that epitomizes Todd's love
of blending jazz and choral music. Recurring
melodies, changing meters, and extended
harmonies combine to explore the theme of
loss in this powerful and expressive lament.
Thoughtful and engaging.

Psalm 100: Make Joyful Noise—Clayton
White. This anthem is a reduction of Clayton
White's four-movement cantata on Psalm
100. Opening with a "joyful noise" in the
form of quartal harmonies in both chordal
and contrapuntal parts, contrasting sections
then follow: a slower a cappella section,
followed by lyric treble voices over a flowing
accompaniment, which then rebuilds to the
opening volume, ending as it began, with a
joyful noise to fill the sanctuary!

Psalm 139—Michael Burkhardt. A
mysterious introduction using keyboard,
optional handbells, and oboe gives way to a
slow, lyrical 6/8 setting of the psalm. Almost
like a courtly dance, the tempo fluctuates
with the spirit of the text. After a reprise of the
introductory material, the anthem becomes
almost through-composed, reflecting the
emotional arch of the words. Some a cappella
sections provide nice contrast.

l Psalm 31: Father, into Your Hands—
Bob Hurd/arr. Rick Modlin. This Good Friday
psalm of lament echoes the scripture,
"He was pierced for our offenses, crushed
for our sins" and powerfully describes the
final moments on the cross. Yet the major
mode, flowing accompaniment, and easy
singability of the refrain offer a hopeful
interpretation of the themes of refuge, trust,
and, ultimately, salvation. Scored for choir,
piano, guitar, and assembly.

Rejoice in the Lord—David Bednall. This fast
and festive setting of Psalm 33 moves along in a
joyful dance. After an exuberant opening, a lively
organ passage leads into a beautiful moment of
stillness in the choir, unaccompanied, creating
an effective contrast before an emphatic closing
statement of rejoicing.

Requiem—Eliza Gilkyson/arr. Craig Hella
Johnson. Singer/songwriter Eliza Gilkyson wrote
Requiem as a song of grief following the Asian
tsunami in December 2004, and the song
found a renewed audience after Hurricane
Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region. This
setting by Conspirare conductor Craig Hella
Johnson is powerful in its emotional impact.

l Rivers of Living Water—Trevor Weston.
This setting of Psalm 105 and John 7
imaginatively depicts the "rivers of living water"
and the contrasting "parched land" in episodic
form, providing musical structure, variety,
color, and atmosphere. An independent but
delicate organ part brings further color while
underpinning long vocal lines which interweave
and occasionally perform unaccompanied.
11365808 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.35
Sanctus—Michael John Trotta. The final
installment of the Missa Brevis, this peaceful
work features opportunities for unison
singing and the development of independent
part singing. With conservative ranges and
opportunities to focus on pure vowels and text
accentuation, this is an elegant addition to
any concert or service. Combine with Trotta's
other Latin works Kyrie, Gloria and Agnus Dei
to create the full Missa Brevis.

Set Me as a Seal—Robert Scholz/arr. David
Scholz. The familiar Song of Solomon text is
framed by modern liturgy and 'For love is of
God' (1 John 4:7). All parts share in delivering
and supporting the warm melody and rich
harmonies, connected by a solo instrumental
line. Emotionally moving, romantic style.

DLt Set Me as a Seal—Michael John
Trotta. Elegant simplicity is the hallmark of
this shimmering setting of a favorite text: "Set
me as a seal upon your heart ... for love is
as strong as death." Straightforward rhythms,
careful management of vocal ranges, and a
judicious use of close cluster harmonies put
this work well within the reach of many choirs.
A perfect choice for choirs looking to establish
a more mature sound and musical sensitivity.

Shelter Me—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 Hallelujah to God—Horatio Parker/
ed. David P. DeVenney. From the American
Romantic Choral Series comes this classical
choral piece. Horatio Parker was a professor at
Yale and one of the most influential composers
of his time. His mastery of contrapuntal writing
makes this an excellent teaching piece as well
as a worthy anthem for concert or worship.

Song of the Earth—Dan Forrest. This piece
is the sixth movement from Dan Forrest's
extended work "Jubilate Deo." Here published
separately, the piece calls for mixed chorus,
optional treble chorus, and piano, organ, or
orchestra. This movement can easily stand
alone and is particularly appropriate for Earth
Day concerts as well as other performances.

D Source of All Healing—Michael John Trotta.
This outstanding original anthem quietly brings
the listener into a prayerful time seeking
wholeness. Recalling miracles of healing, the
response is to ask for healing in body and
soul. Slightly discordant harmonies recall sin
and pain before a beautiful harmonic refrain
responds, "Come, Holy Jesus, abide with
me now." A wide dynamic range brings the
inspired words to life, and the ministry of the
message speaks to any worship gathering with
firm assurance.

lD
Still—Heather Sorenson. This sacred tone
poem is a prayer for peace and a plea for
healing of the heart. The anthem rises from a
single tone, ebbing and flowing into harmony,
then back into simplicity with just a touch
of dissonance. As the words become more
impassioned, flowing piano interludes match
their intensity. This petition for calm begins to
quiet as the anthem winds down, allowing the
prayer to end in hushed chords of assurance.

There Is Joy in the Morning!—Gwyneth
Walker. Conveying a message of joy after
darkness and dancing after sorrow, this setting
of Psalm 30 features accessible SATB writing
with some brief divisi, short solos for soprano
and baritone, and a short a cappella passage.
The supportive piano accompaniment is, by
turns, boldly energetic and lyrically flowing.

D Ubi Caritas—Michael John Trotta. The
Lt
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 Is Peace?—Kim Andre Arnesen.
"Peace, like war, must be waged - mindfully,
deliberately, with arms ever ready and eyes
wide open." Striking modern harmonies
declare the importance of Charles Anthony
Silvestri's profound text on the nature of peace,
dramatically set for mixed or treble choirs
with the option to perform a cappella or with
piano or harp accompaniment. Taken from
Arnesen's major work "Tuvayhun," this third
movement is also known as The Peacemakers.

When Memory Fades—arr. Eric Nelson.
With the well-crafted and comforting text
about dementia by Mary Louise Bringle and
the flowing and tender melody by Jayne
Southwick Cool, Eric Nelson has created
something deep, rich and thoughtful. The
piano accompaniment is supportive yet simple
and light, allowing the text and elegant choral
writing to be always at the fore. Men and
women are each given moments to shine, and
the ensemble writing is solid and nuanced. A
much-needed ministry tool.
