in youth... the striving after better hopes; these
things can never die." With this comforting
message, both church and school ensembles
will be enriched by this musical setting.

of sound that is engaging and appropriate to
the spirit of the text.

Whatever May Be—David Lantz III. This
profound text by Thomas Henry Roehrich is a
warm reminder to cast all our cares upon Him,
for no matter what, His love never fails. The
chorus, "Slow me down, that I might see that the
love You have for me shall be mine eternally,
whatever may be" gives assurance, and the
upbeat, syncopated melody lingers long after
the anthem is done. Use for a general anthem,
prayer response, or as a post-Easter anthem.

way, this anthem gradually expands by adding
instruments and voices, building to a glorious
chorus of praise. It marries Beethoven's
ODE

glories of music being raised throughout the
universe with voices and with instruments. The
second verse is a cappella, and instruments and
congregation join in the third and fourth verses.

Where Compassion and Love Abide (Ubi
Caritas)—Philip M. Hayden. A treasured truth
for troubled times, this anthem's theme is
beautifully poignant. After an initial statement
in English, the same text is expressed in Latin
(with English alternative), bringing the ancient
text alive. Bathed in serenity, the melody is
delicate and carries the message of charity
and hope to the heart of the listener.

writing offering full support.

musicality in this accessible anthem.

Wonderful Grace—Cindy Ovokaitys/arr.
Charles McCartha. This upbeat anthem of
praise is set with a Caribbean flavor enlivened
by optional percussion. The easy intertwining
of melodies and the addition of a final descant
make this a great choice for smaller choirs or
youth choirs. Referencing Amazing Grace, the
text invites everyone to "boldly shout out the
story of God's amazing grace!"

The Word Was God—Rosephanye Powell.
What an impact this august anthem will have
on both choir and listeners! Its rhythmic
structure develops from the superb interplay
between the voices, and the layering of sound
upon sound creates a musical tapestry. Written
in an almost spiritual style, but definitely not a
spiritual, this will make a stunning choice for
larger church choirs!
