GENERAL ANTHEMS
Sing! Sing! Let Creation Sing!—Rebecca
Hogan/arr. Joshua Metzger. A jubilant original
anthem of praise, this lightly syncopated
anthem celebrates all that is wonderful about
music and the gift of praise. An engaging
main theme drives the message forward with
occasional lyrical contrasts. After a key change,
the hymn I Sing the Mighty Power of God
(
ELLACOMBE) enters in dialog with the opening
theme. Optional instruments are also available.

Stay with Us—Jon Hermanson. This setting
combines text from Luke 24 ("Stay with us,
Lord Jesus") and quotes from Abide With Me
("in life and death, O Lord, with us abide"),
to present a simple yet stunning prayer for
Christ's presence. A simple piano part adds
support and dimension; the work may also be
sung a cappella.

Still, Small Voice—Douglas Nolan. Gentle
and sweet, this accessible anthem for worship

The piano supports and adds color to this
reflective anthem.

The Stranger's Guise—Karen Marrolli. This
traditional Gaelic poem, The Rune of Hospi-
tality, is given a setting reflective of its Celtic
heritage with the addition of an idiomatic violin

reading of Matthew 25:35 or Hebrews 13:2,
which emphasize hospitality to strangers.

Divine Encounter: III. The Blessing—
Craig Courtney. The third movement of the trilogy
Divine Encounter is a 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, which is one huge
arc, is stated twice, creating a simple, sincere message
of peace and rest.

Simply stunning!

Shalom—Dan Forrest. This tender and comforting
work "passes the peace" as its simple yet elegant melody
washes over the listener, gently unfolding its text with
increasing texture: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I
give to you, not as the world gives; do not be afraid." The
Hebrew word "shalom" forms the refrains, and whispers
of the word "peace" further paint the spirit and promise
of the text. With piano and optional violin, this piece is
equally at home in worship or concert settings.

cluster chords create an artistic setting that is equally
appropriate for service use or the concert stage.
