Crown Him Lord of All
A Concertato on "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name"
arr. Joseph M. Martin.
This festive triptych is based on the tunes CORONATION, MILES LANE,
and DIADEM, which are paired with the text All Hail the Power of Jesus'
Name. A hymn concertato for choir and optional congregation, it
concludes with added descant and colorful "amens." The addition of
optional brass, percussion, and handbells makes this the perfect choice
for Ascension, Christ the King, or other festal occasions.

Fantasia on "To God Be the Glory"
arr. Mark Hayes.
Opening and closing with a brilliant divisi fanfare, this inspired setting
of
TO GOD BE THE GLORY is perfectly paced, with dazzling color and
expert choral texturing. Verses one and two are unison and SATB
textures, respectively. A slower, mostly a cappella section follows,
colored with beautiful harmonies. The tempo and dynamics increase,
signaling the final verse which adds descant and optional congregation.
Great for worship throughout the year and for Thanksgiving. Optional
orchestration is available.

For the Beauty of the Earth
Michael John Trotta.
This stunning setting of the traditional hymn tune, DIX, is approachable
enough to be learned by most choirs and compelling enough to engage
both choir and listener. Beginning with a short salutation (soprano
divisi), the hymn anthem unfolds, moving from unison to accessible yet
full harmonies supported by an independent piano, chamber orchestra
or full orchestra accompaniment. Duration 3:30 - 5:00, depending on
whether you use the optional instrumental introduction.
