Sorenson. This anthem creatively combines
two beloved hymns and represents a touching
tribute to the Savior's redeeming work on the
cross. The scene is set with the haunting
sounds of What Wondrous Love is This, while
the vocal lines concentrate on the Passion
Chorale. Truly an extraordinary offering for

O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus—arr.
Heather Sorenson. Evocative and engaging,
this refreshing arrangement of
EBENEZER
begins hauntingly with some mixed meter and
divisi. The middle section is faster, providing
a buoyant contrast before the return of the
opening material that leads to a quiet close.
The superb piano complements the vocals,
and the cello enhances the impact.

The Old Rugged Cross—arr. Mary
McDonald. Here is a lush and beautiful setting
of George Bennard's beloved Lenten hymn. In
a refreshing twist, the setting begins in a stately
4/4, eventually moving into the traditional 3/4

On Bended Knee—Vickie Polnac Smolek/
arr. Douglas Nolan. A reflective selection for
services of healing and renewal, this heartfelt
call to prayer is moving. Each verse is crowned
with a simple "Kyrie eleison" set as a response
for congregation and choir. The final verse
is bathed in hope and promise as it reaches
beyond the shadows and embraces the light
of faith.

Portrait—Diane Hannibal/arr. Joseph M.
Martin. From the cantata Portraits in Grace,
this singular text is brought forward wrapped
in simple yet profound music. The folk-song
quality of the melody matches well with poetic
imagery to share how God is reflected in
creation. We hear His voice "in the singing of
the birds." We "see His face in ev'ry flower."
"His crown is twined with our ev'ry thorn"
and "His cross is ev'ry tree." A supportive
and impressionistic piano accompaniment
completes the painting.

choir for a multigenerational experience. An
instrumental ensemble can also join the choir
to highlight the energy of this festive selection.

Speak to Me in Ashes—Douglas Nolan.
A touch of Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
introduces this Ash Wednesday reflection and
recurs towards the end. The minor original
melody, introduced by optional vocal solo,
captures the ebb and flow of the lyric. Simple
yet profound, this anthem is a quiet call to
listen, learn, and live.
11166004 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
Touch Me with Ashes—Stacey Nordmeyer.
Designed to set the stage for the beginning
of Lent, this meditative anthem is filled with
moments of deep beauty. Flexible voicing for
solos or sections makes this reflective offering

and incorporating the phrase "Kyrie eleison,"
this piece perfectly fits the contemplative
nature of the Lenten season.
11373742 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Upon Your Potter's Wheel—Ruth Elaine
Schram & Bert Stratton. The spiritual lesson
of the potter and clay springs to life in this
thought-provoking text. Accompanied by
sensitive music with optional cello, this anthem
is lovely to the ear and meaningful to the heart.

A fresh and compelling original setting of
the hymn text, this stunning choral work
with dynamic text painting and exhilarating
phrases brings the text to life. The rich piano
accompaniment and expert part-writing make
this a musically fulfilling anthem for any time
of year, but it's especially poignant during Lent
and Holy Week.

What Wondrous Love Is This—arr. Brian
L. Hanson. Artistic and sensitive, Hanson's
arrangement of the Appalachian folk hymn
WONDROUS LOVE opens pensively but blossoms
into a strong choral presentation mirroring the
text. Gorgeous harmonies in the choral lines
have both traditional and modern elements,
while the piano accompaniment employs open
fifths and flowing lines to create a growing
texture of beauty and expression. A brief a
cappella section and the stirring interludes are
highlights, making this setting very special.
10953326 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
What Wondrous Love Is This—Lloyd
Larson. Based on the text of the familiar
Appalachian folk hymn but with new music, this
emotive arrangement features a descending
melodic figure in the piano accompaniment that
paints the recurring portion of the text "When I
was sinking down." The hollow sound of open
fifths with a flowing piano accompaniment
illustrates the blend of despair of Christ's death
and the hope of the resurrection.
11375775 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95
What Wondrous Love Is This—arr.
Trevor Manor. With harmonies that evoke
the Appalachian roots of the hymn tune and
a violin part providing beautiful countermelody
throughout, this anthem is a striking
presentation of God's sacrifice and love. This
piece is an ideal selection for your children's,
youth, women's ensemble or adult choirs.
10549851 Unison/Two-Part . . . . . . . . 2.10
What Wondrous Love Is This?—Tim
Sharp & Wes Ramsay. Tim Sharp and famed
Nashville composer Wes Ramsay join forces
to create a new and powerful anthem using
the words from one of Southern Harmony's
best-loved texts. An optional solo violin and
string parts are available separately. The piece
is moving without the strings, but they do add
beautifully to the anthem. Appropriate for
Communion or Lent.

What Wondrous Love Is This?—arr.
Heather Sorenson. From the cantata What
Wondrous Hope, the plaintive strains of this
well-known early American hymn depict the
cost of salvation and the fathomless love of the
Creator. A middle section of "Kyrie eleison,"
which repeats with descant, is an effective
contrast before moving to the final verses of
the hymn. The quiet "Have mercy upon my
soul" is a prayerful and fitting close to this
sensitively written arrangement.

Ann Cooper. Gorgeous original material
seamlessly mingles with treasured hymns,

predominate this SAB setting, which is fully

A great selection for Lent or Holy Week.

There is just no better way to express the

or Good Friday services.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross—arr.
Timothy Shaw. Isaac Watts' beloved text is set
to a flowing original tune in this easy-to-learn
unison choir piece which also works well as a
vocal solo. While usable throughout the church
year, this anthem is especially effective during
Lent and Holy Week.
11373211 Unison . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.50
When Jesus Wept—William Billings/arr.
Gwyneth Walker. The original tune and lyrics
for this piece are by William Billings and have
been adapted for mixed chorus, optional
percussion and piano by Gwyneth Walker.
The mournful spirit of early Americana in the
original music is still present, embellished
by her additions and the movement of the
original 3/4 time signature to common time.
An effective and moving arrangement.

When You Prayed Beneath the Trees—
Christopher Idle & Lloyd Larson. Especially
meaningful during the days of Holy Week, the
text relates to our Lord praying in the garden
of Gethsemane, and weaves around the tree
theme found in many scriptures about the
cross. The original accompaniment is for
piano, plus optional flute, oboe, French horn
and cello and perfectly captures the somber
mood. This top-seller is now available in both
unison and SSA.

The Wilderness of Wandering—Victor C.
Johnson. This reflection is an excellent choice
for the beginning of Lent as we contemplate our
spiritual journey. Set in minor, the theme rises
and falls like a gentle prayer, simply at first,
then enriched by full chords. The delicate piano
writing adds a lovely ambience to the work.
11416484 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Wondrous Love—arr. Benjamin David
Knoedler. This well-known text is given a
strong, new treatment with a meditative
melody, close harmonies, and driving
accompaniment. The text expresses awe at
the love of God, building to a song of praise:
"And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on."
Knoedler's arrangement highlights the text
at every point and is a beautiful addition to
Lenten, communion, or general worship
services focusing on the love of God.

A thought-provoking text by Terry York is
beautifully paired with a memorable melody
in this compelling piece. Filled with contrast,
this dramatic piece will plant the important
message in the hearts of the listeners: "I was
a stranger, and you welcomed me." Each
part has its place to shine with interesting
harmonies and a strong melody. Dynamic and
musical interest abound in this sermon in song.
