It Happened on That Fateful Night
arr. Robert Powell.
The entire story of Christ's passion is found in this Isaac Watts text, from
the fateful night to the body broken. The sturdy hymn tune BOURBON
is contrasted with two lyric verses of original material before a strong
return to finish, "Oh Lord, your feast we celebrate." While usable for any
communion service during Lent, this hymn arrangement is especially
appropriate for Maundy Thursday.

Kyrie Eleison
A Lenten Prayer
Brian Childers.
The enduring phrase "Kyrie eleison" begins many services of worship,
especially during the penitential season of Lent. Sensitively set as the
opening and closing material in this anthem, the choral lines flow and
intermingle with each other and the piano accompaniment. Phrases from
Psalm 51, in English, serve as the centerpiece of the anthem. This is a
lovely choice for Ash Wednesday, Lent, or during Holy Week.

The Night of Darkness
Larry Shackley.
Here is one anthem you will not want to miss. The familiar American
folk song Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair forms the basis of
the melodic material, enhanced with original music and powerful lyrics
that depict the grief, betrayal, and darkness of that poignant night in
Gethsemane. With references to how the Prince of Darkness is still
affecting our lives, this is truly a text that speaks to the world today.

Pie Jesu Domine
Victor C. Johnson.
This earnest, haunting setting of the familiar Latin text includes sensitive,
skillful part-writing and seamless interplay between the voices and

it also includes a beautiful part for optional cello.

Prayer for Mercy
Mark Hayes.
This Lenten prayer pairs text from Luke 11:4 and Latin from the Roman
Mass with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Hauntingly beautiful, the
harmonies and voice leading are electrifying. Latin gives way to English
for each phrase sung, using the melody from Beethoven's immortal
classic, which pianists will enjoy playing.

And When It Was Evening
Ken Litton.
The example of Christ's servanthood at the Last Supper is expressed in
this poignant anthem. A well-crafted melody carries the scripture-based
lyrics, and the simple texture allows the words to truly shine.

Come Find His Rest
Erik Dewar/arr. Dan Forrest.
A hauntingly beautiful collaboration between modern hymnwriter Erik
Dewar and Dan Forrest, this anthem weaves together a newly written
hymn with I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (
KINGSFOLD). With piano and
optional strings, it uses a soloist and offers the congregation an option
to join on one verse. A powerful experience for Lenten worship and
memorial services.

Come unto Me
Matthew J. Armstrong.

musical tribute the composer's mother. The comforting text of Matthew
11:28-29 is brought to life through lush harmonies and a swelling piano
accompaniment. Program this beautiful piece during the Lenten season
or to complement worship themes of grace, forgiveness, commitment,
and healing.

Do This and Remember
Brad Nix.
In this communion anthem we are taken into the heart of the sacrament.
The original melody, somber and yet hopeful, combines perfectly with the
text to create a breathtaking anthem. Your congregation will be drawn
into grateful reflection as the choir passionately proclaims, "Death is not
the final answer, all who feast on me will live!"

Father, Let This Pass
Victor C. Johnson.
A compelling text is perfectly matched to a haunting melody in this
breathtaking new offering for Holy Week. Placing a spotlight on Christ as
He agonizes in the garden, the lyrics plumb the depths of His despair, as
well as His ultimate submission to the Father by lovingly bearing the sins
of the world. This tremendous anthem will find its place in your choir's
repertoire for years to come.
