Craig Courtney. The third movement of the
trilogy Divine Encounter is a newly composed
benediction based on the traditional text from
Numbers 6:24-26. As Jesus blessed and
multiplied the fish and bread, so God blesses
the offering we bring to Him. The melody,

a simple, sincere message of peace and rest.

Do Not Be Afraid—Philip W.J. Stopford.
This anthem of comfort and assurance is
built around the words "do not be afraid."
The repetition of these words evokes a
sense of calm that permeates the piece.
Beautifully crafted.

Even When God Is Silent—Robert Farrell.
This choral anthem sets to music the moving
words believed to have been inscribed on a
wall in Germany during the Holocaust. The
use of trumpet adds to the haunting nature
of this setting which is both bold yet crafted
with sensitivity. Some chromatic passages and
the wide range of dynamics will benefit from
careful rehearsal.

Even When He Is Silent—Kim Andre
Arnesen. Commissioned by the St. Olaf Festival
in Trondheim, Norway, Even When He Is Silent
masterfully expresses the sentiment of the text
- hope in times of despair. Beautifully melodic,
with rich harmonic texture, this is a stunning
work for better a cappella choirs! "I believe in
the sun even when it is not shining..."

Exsultate! Jubilate!—Kyle Pederson. This
unique setting pairs the iconic Latin text with
a new, original English text which responds
to the question: Why do we rejoice and shout
our praises to God? The music captures the
energy, rhythm, and exuberance inherent in
the phrases "exsultate Deo" and "jubilate Deo,"
but also reflects the quiet joys found in gratitude
for the daily gifts of breath and light. The piano
accompaniment is rhythmic and lively.

From Generation to Generation—Tom
Trenney. This large-scale anthem creatively
adapts the text O God, Our Help in Ages
Past and pairs it with exciting original music
that incorporates fragments of the tune ST.
ANNE. A soaring melodic refrain provides the
foundation of the anthem that speaks of God's
constancy in our lives. Scored for both piano
accompaniment and separately for oboe, flute,
string quartet, and organ.

Glory Be—Heather Sorenson. A choral
tour de force, this unaccompanied Gloria
Patri crackles with energy. Rhythmic vitality
partners with harmonic richness, making the
piece essential for concerts and a memorable
addition to worship services. The appearance
of the time-honored All Creatures of Our God
and King creates a balance with the new and
makes this an excellent choice for blended
worship formats. New, fresh, and effective!

God With Me—Sarah Quartel. This anthem
is a beautiful and meditative setting of a
translated text from Carmina Gadelica, a
collection of Gaelic hymns, prayers, and other
texts. With gentle suspensions and exquisite
harmonies, this anthem is warm, refreshing,
and uplifting, perfectly demonstrating Quartel's
signature style.

Holy God, We Praise Your Name—arr.
Burton Bumgarner. This modern-day hymn
sets a traditional 18th-century text with new
music. The stately choral opening contrasts
with a flowing a cappella section followed by
a majestic organ and optional brass interlude.
The use of 21st-century harmonies creates a
sense of timelessness in this anthem of praise.

I Sought the Lord—Karen Marrolli. Karen
Marrolli provides an original melody for a
text first published anonymously in London
in 1878. Set in four parts with a fair amount
of unison singing, the almost folk-like tune
is singable and satisfying. The text speaks of
God's unending love that reaches for us even
as we think we are the ones reaching out.

I Will Light Candles This Christmas—Kim
Andre Arnesen. Featured at the 2018 St. Olaf
College Christmas Festival, this is a beautiful
and lush setting of the Howard Thurman text. It
reminds us that Christmas is a time of light over
darkness. The message in the carol inspires us
to become carriers of a light that brings joy,
hope, courage, peace, grace, and love.

If God Is for Us—Bob Moore. Based upon
a cherished passage from Romans 8, this is
composed in a verse-refrain format that allows
for flexibility of performance: cantor or soloist,
choir, or assembly. The result is a nicely varied
vocal texture that sails above piano and optional
flute (or C instrument) accompaniment.

Jesus Shall Reign—arr. Jeremy J. Bankson.
This is a big, bold hymn setting on the hymn
DUKE STREET for congregation, SATB choir,
descant, brass quintet, cymbals, timpani,
and organ. (Instruments are not optional in
this setting.) Stanza one is in unison, and
stanzas two and three in parts with organ only.

interlude leads into stanza five which is unison
with descant.

Kyrie—George Bristow/ed. David P.
Devenney. From the American Romantic
Choral Series comes this beautiful Kyrie
movement from Bristow's Mass in C. A
master of the romantic harmonies of his day,
George Bristow was a church organist, violin
teacher, and conductor of the New York
Philharmonic Society from 1851-62. This
piece features an alto solo and uses flowing,
supportive piano accompaniment.

Let Us Love One Another—Mark Sirett.
Appropriate for any lectionary day about
love, Mark Sirett's setting of this well-known
text from John features beautiful, lyrical part-
writing and a flowing accompaniment. This
anthem connects God's love for us as the
reason and cause for our striving to love one
another. Beautiful and thought provoking.

adaptable for Piano . . . . . . 2.25
Light Dawns on a Weary World—William
Rowan/arr. David M. Cherwien. "Light dawns
on a weary world when eyes begin to see
all people's dignity." Mary Louise Bringle's
extraordinary Advent text is paired with the
tune
TEMPLE OF PEACE. The three unison verses
can be sung by treble or mixed voices, with an
optional soprano descant on the final stanza.
An optional obbligato for violin or flute crowns
the organ accompaniment.

Light of Christ, Burn Bright—Orin Johnson.
With a wide-ranging topical scope - care
of the sick, church, comfort, healing, light,
love for others, praise, Christian life, and the
resurrection - this anthem will be appropriate
for many liturgical moments. It is set in 5/4, but
the regularity of the rhythmic pattern (always
3/4+2/4) should not pose a challenge to most
choirs. In addition to the fully scored version
for SAB choir, keyboard, guitar, and obbligato
solo instrument, a simplified hymn version is
included in this octavo.
11396591 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.30
Like the Colors of the Rainbow—Philip
W. J. Stopford. This anthem speaks to the
history and diversity of congregational life
as God's people join in worship. The organ-
accompanied voices enjoy occasional brief
a cappella moments, and recurring alleluias lift
the voices in praise: "Every moment spent in
praising has its source and end in You."
11394794 SATB divisi, w/organ . . . . . 2.85
Look with Eyes That See Forever—Jeffrey
Blersch. The text was inspired by the parable
of the dishonest manager (Luke 16:113) and
will help Christians wrestle with the concepts
of living in a broken world to make an eternal
difference. The music presents a warm
melodic setting of the text, and each choral
part gets to sing the melody.
11397337 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.40
Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in Your Word—
arr. David von Kampen. A modern setting of
the familiar chorale (ERHALT
UNS, HERR). The
choral writing is approachable and easy to
learn, while the piano accompaniment adds
support and harmonic interest.
