love. Written for children, youth, and adults,
the piece can be sung by one choir or multiple
choirs for a multigenerational presentation.

a rhythmic piano accompaniment join with

All Good Gifts—Dora Ann Purdy & Matthias
Claudius. Reminding us of God's abundant
blessings, this anthem of gratitude combines
a stirring traditional text with a beautiful new

Amazing Grace—arr. Benjamin David
Knoedler. This marvelous new arrangement of
the classic hymn begins with children "oohing"
the melody over a quiet piano accompaniment.
Their sustained "oohs" continue while the
piano takes a verse. Two sung verses are
followed by the hymn ending as gently as it
began. This is a lovely, effective arrangement
of the familiar hymn that can be sung by adults
as well as children.

Amazing Grace for the Lost Lamb—Ruth
Elaine Schram. This tender anthem tells
the Parable of the Lost Sheep with beautiful
vocal lines in a pleasing meter. The second
stanza is a setting of Amazing Grace, which
complements the message with "I once was
lost, but now am found." The two melodies
combine to provide a lovely partner song,
reinforcing independent singing in each part.
A gentle unison ending sweetly expresses,
"Jesus carried me home to the fold."

Amazing Grace -with- Praise, Praise,
Praise the Lord—arr. Becki Slagle Mayo.
Filled with joyful rhythm, the merging of two
favorites makes for a winning combination! The
piece opens with the Cameroon processional
Praise, Praise, Praise the Lord, which
transitions seamlessly into Amazing Grace and
infuses the beloved hymn with jubilant energy.
Becki's optional harmony is a wonderful
stepping stone for emerging part singers.

Come, Let Us Sing—Becki Slagle Mayo
& Lynn Shaw Bailey. Psalm 100 is given an
energetic and joyful treatment in this original
anthem from two masterful composer/
arrangers. The addition of the optional second
part provides a descant-like feel, giving the
opportunity to sing pure vowels on the word
"alleluia." This is a great selection for any time
of year but is especially perfect for Thanksgiving.

Emmanuel: God Is With Us—Naomi King
Walker. The ABA format, with the final A
featuring a descant over the original melody,
along with echo effects and parallel harmony
makes this a great choice for children. The
repetitive lyrics emphasize that God is always
present in our lives. The middle section
incorporates
TALLIS' CANON for a simple, unison
prayer: "O God, when we must face our fear,
remind us you are always near."

gentle challenge to see one another as God
sees us: beautiful children of the world. Set in
both English and Spanish, this accessible piece
extends a hand of welcome and embrace,
asserting that "we are more than neighbors,
we are family." Includes the composer's

Little Children. A perfect selection for elementary
and middle school choirs!

accompaniment. An optional second part

For Love Shall Be Our Song—Douglas
E. Wagner. Based on Colossians 3:12-15,
this unison anthem celebrates the universal
message of love and peace. The bright and
beautiful melody is accessible to voices of all
ages, though it will especially shine in children's
voices. The short phrases make learning a
cinch, defined by a buoyant A section followed
by a more lyrical B section. The optional flute
part enhances the repeat of the opening
phrases when it appears in the recapitulation.
