Day of Arising—Carl Schalk/
arr. Michael Burkhardt. This accessible
arrangement of Carl Schalk's hymn tune,
RAABE,
is perfect for the smaller choir with optional

a standard in choral literature.

Lamb of God—Ronald A. Nelson/
arr. Stephen Caracciolo. A choral anthem
crafted from the familiar communion setting
used in many Lutheran congregations, this
arrangement expands to three iterations. The
first time uses the standard harmonies, the
second features a soprano solo with the choir
humming the traditional harmony, and on
the last verse the choir sings slightly altered
harmonies with a soprano descant. Lovely, and
useful for communion or during Lent.

during communion.

Communion Sunday or any time you want a
personal response to the Eucharist.

Not by Bread Alone—Bob Hurd.
The refrain of this setting is based on the
communion antiphon for the first Sunday of
Lent. It is easy to learn and sing from memory
while in procession to receive the Eucharist.
With verses rooted in scripture, this beautiful
assembly song deals not only with the theme
of God's love for us through Jesus' sacrifice,
but also healing, God's Word, and our own
longing for God. It is appropriate for use on Ash
Wednesday and throughout Lent. Scored for
choir with piano and guitar accompaniment.

choirs, it is a welcome addition to the world of
choral literature.

O Sacrum Convivium—Ricky Manalo/
arr. Gerard Chiusano. With a text that includes
writings from St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Paul,
and St. Augustine ("May we become what we
receive"), this Communion song is both beautiful
and catechetical. Scored for choir with descant
accompanied by keyboard and guitar, its stately
rhythms and harmonic progressions give this
piece a kind of timeless majesty that reminds us
not just of the solemnity of the sacrament but
the call to action contained therein.

Taste and See—Tom Porter.
An expressive communion anthem for
congregation, cantor, and choir, this familiar
text is set to a memorable, easy melody with an
expressive accompaniment of piano and flute
(or other C instrument). The stanzas may be
sung by a soloist, cantor, or unison choir, and
recall God's provision throughout the Old and
New Testament. An optional harmonization for
SAB is also included, along with a reproducible
congregational page. Lovely choice for any
Eucharistic celebration.

This Is How—Chris de Silva.
This gentle work scored for SAB voices, cantor,
assembly, keyboard, and guitar with optional
C instrument and cello is based on the John
13:35 text, "This is how all will know that you
are my disciples, if you have love for one
another." The memorable refrain and additional
verses make this a perfect selection for the
communion procession, but you'll want to use
this piece anywhere and everywhere in your
worship celebrations.

This Is the Body and Blood of Christ—
Victoria Davison & Rudy Lupinski.
A beautiful Communion anthem with a
simple refrain; the verses employ the familiar
Bread of the World text by Reginald Heber.
Straightforward two-part writing (with a descant
for the final refrain) makes it a very accessible
anthem. The congregation can also optionally
participate in singing the refrain.

When We Eat This Bread (Lord Jesus
Christ, You Have Prepared)—
James J. Chepponis. The refrain of this
composition is short and easily memorized, an
advantage when sung during the Communion
procession. The text is based on 1 Corinthians
11:26, but since we also proclaim the Lord's
resurrection as well as his death, the refrain
includes that reference as well.
