GENERAL ANTHEMS
Awake My Soul, Give Thanks and Sing—
Craig Courtney. Based upon the truths of Psalm
57, Susan Bentall Boersma's text is powerfully
set in an anthem that is appropriate for any
service of worship and praise. Strong rhythmic
statements of the text are punctuated by
equally strong "Alleluia" responses. The boldly
assertive piano accompaniment adds gravitas.

Be Not Afraid—Jonathan D. Campbell. In this
expressive and moving anthem, the comforting

choir will provide beauty and reassurance as
they sing of God's presence in our lives.

Be Not Afraid—Craig Courtney. This lyrical
anthem speaks of God's presence with
us in times of hardship and of His infinite
mercy. A wonderful musical expression of
comfort and courage for confirmation, child
baptism or dedication, or any time you wish
to convey the love of God through Isaiah's
words of redemption: "You are precious in My
sight." The opening statement can be sung
by sopranos or solo voice, but is especially
appropriate for children's voices.

that I am God." This anthem of sonority and
depth is a musical balm that covers the listener
with exquisite vocal and harmonic colors at
every measure. It is a song of a loving God who

peace and comfort in time of need. Richly
scored for voices and piano, this is a superb
choice for moments of prayer, memorials, and
commissioning services that will leave your
congregation breathless.

beautiful and tender original music is paired

a compelling finish.

meaningful imagery that will resonate with
your singers.

The two contrasting parts make this an easy
and effective anthem for choirs of all sizes.

Believe in Me—David Lantz III. This Celtic-
style anthem's text, written by Herb Frombach,
is based freely on John 12:44. Mostly upbeat,
the contrasting a cappella middle section
returns to the opening energy where the
(optional) violin adds more Celtic flair. This
anthem, usable throughout the year, is great
fun to sing and appealing to the congregation.

A Better Resurrection—Amber R. Maxwell/
arr. Heather Sorenson. A plea for personal
reawakening from emptiness, this time-
honored Rosetti poem combines the promise
of spring with a message of faith. The song
emerges from classic piano styling, and the
choral writing mingles contrasting voicings
for both clarity and power. Violin and cello add
beauty to this prayer for wholeness.

in the choral parts and a supportive piano

Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel
Faure/ed. John Rutter. This cherished piece
composed in 1865 has become a choral
standard in both sacred and concert settings.
The lush, intense choral writing is layered on
top of undulating triplet rhythms that pervade
the texture. The form is a straightforward
ABA with instrumental prelude and interlude.
Presented with an English singing translation
in addition to the original French, Rutter's
excellent edition includes an accompaniment
for organ or piano. The work may also be
performed with the transcription for harp and
strings or with the complete orchestration
(available as a rental only.)

The Chorister's Prayer—Jacob Dishman.
This anthem speaks to the heart of our calling
as church musicians. The familiar prayer "that
what we sing with our lips we may believe in
our hearts, and what we believe in our hearts
we may show forth in our lives" is set to music
equally deep and meaningful, lush and lovely.
This anthem of prayer will become a classic for
choirs and musicians for years to come.

optional acoustic instruments and drum set.
Get ready for your congregation to clap along!

Come and Share—John A. Behnke. This
engaging worship song invites believers to
come and share God's joy, hope, and love
while living for the Lord. Sectional spotlights
alternate with four-part sonorities in the
accessible choral writing. All are supported
by the piano accompaniment and nicely
decorated by optional handbells.
11393951 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Come Before the Giver—attrib. Franz
Joseph Haydn/arr. Jon Paige. A reimagining
of the St. Anthony Chorale, this majestic
anthem is great for Thanksgiving or general
worship. The familiar music is paired with a
new text: "Come before the Giver, bringing
songs of grateful praises." Reliable part-
writing employs good choral tessituras, with
a descant on the final verse. The keyboard
accompaniment can be supplemented by an
optional instrumental package.
11393420 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Come By Here—arr. Kyle Pederson. This
sensitive setting of the spiritual
KUM BAH YAH is
not to be missed. In one spot the piano plays
a guided improvisation over the choir singing
neutral syllables. In another there is the option
to sing unaccompanied. An emotional high
point occurs when the sections each sing out
their situations, "longing, falling, hiding," then
answer together, "You are here." This work
hits every high mark in terms of vocal writing, a
skillful accompaniment, and a beautiful effect.
