All Things Are Mine Since I Am Yours—
David Lantz III. A slight rewording of the
ending of the hymn How Can I Keep from
Singing provides the inspiration for this
otherwise original text. "All things are mine
since I am His" becomes a bit more personal
by changing "His" to "Yours." This beautiful
yet very simple piece can be learned in one
short rehearsal. There is ample two-part
writing, an opportunity for a soloist, an easy,
lyrical piano part, and lush four-part writing in
the key moments of the anthem.

All Things New—Elaine Hagenberg. Known
for her exquisite lyricism and soaring melodies,
Hagenberg delivers an exceptional original
setting of Frances Havergal's text that provides
a message of hope that is so needed. A

vocal lines open this up to choirs of all sizes for
concert or service use.

Alleluia—Randall Thompson. A true master-
piece for a cappella chorus. The name Randall
Thompson is as much a part of choral music as
is the voice. His masterful compositions are all
standards in the repertoire. A choral classic!

Awake, My Soul—Elaine Hagenberg. A
brilliant, pulsating piano introduction announces
the dawn and invites the voices to join with
escalating calls to "Awake, my soul!" As the
pulsing continues, the vocal counterpoint gives
way to the chordal acclamation, "I will awaken
the dawn!" This setting of Psalm 57:8-11
requires an above average accompanist and
an energetic choir, but the artistic result will be
worth the effort.
11166185 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95

Be Still—Mary McDonald. "Be still and know
that I am God." This anthem of sonority and
depth is a musical balm that covers the listener
with exquisite vocal and harmonic colors at
every measure. It is a song of a loving God who
"never leaves or forsakes," the One who brings
peace and comfort in time of need. Richly
scored for voices and piano, this is a superb
choice for moments of prayer, memorials, and
commissioning services that will leave your
congregation breathless.

Powell. Original and creative, this piece provides
a musical perspective that is captivating and
inspiring. The piano accompaniment wafts
above a flowing melody, while the flute or violin
provides support and variety to this compelling
call for forgiveness. This is a sensitive sacred
work for Lenten services and moments of
reflection and assurance.

Can We Sing the Darkness to Light?—Kyle
Pederson. The text of this work invites the

and a supportive piano accompaniment.

accompaniment are available from the publisher.

Christ, My Treasure—Matt Taylor/arr.
Richard A. Nichols. With an innocent and
tender melody, the orchestration enhances the
powerful lyrics of this piece found in Psalm 73:
Christ is our only true treasure on earth. This
arrangement is delicate in nature, but develops
into a rich and vibrant sound. The constant flow
of the instrumentation gives it an effortless tone
making this piece a beautiful choral anthem.

MANNA
tune set to original lyrics. Its jubilation

Come Before the Giver—trib. Franz Joseph
Haydn/arr. Jon Paige. A reimagining of the St.
Anthony Chorale, this majestic anthem is great
for Thanksgiving or general worship. The familiar
music is paired with a new text: "Come before
the Giver, bringing songs of grateful praises."

tessituras, with a descant on the final verse. The
keyboard accompaniment can be supplemented
by an optional instrumental package.

Come By Here—arr. Kyle Pederson. This
sensitive setting of the spiritual
KUM BAH YAH
is not to be missed. In one spot the piano plays
a guided improvisation over the choir singing
neutral syllables. In another there is the option
to sing unaccompanied. An emotional high
point occurs when the sections each sing out
their situations, "longing, falling, hiding," then
answer together, "You are here." This work
hits every high mark in terms of vocal writing, a
skillful accompaniment, and a beautiful effect.
11199621 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.85
Come to Me—Karen Crane/arr. J.B. Taylor.
Comfort and rest are the themes of this lovely
pairing of new music with Will Thompson's
revered text, Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is
Calling. The addition of a new refrain, "Come to
me, lay your burden down at my feet" provides
a freshness to the old text and a valued
message for a weary world.
11393800 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95
Come to Me—Dan Forrest. A text adapted
from scripture and lovely choral moments that

writing, with engaging interplay between
upper and lower voices, contributes moments
of true beauty. The rich, elegant piano
accompaniment is enhanced by a part for solo
cello which is included in the octavo.

Come, Sing Unto Our God!—Heather
Sorenson. Alive with purpose, this psalm-

an innovative ostinato leads the anthem to its
final punctuation of praise.

Created in Christ Alone—Mary McDonald.
This powerful ballad anthem encourages us to
be the body of Christ in all of our actions since
we are created in His image. After a more
subdued opening, it gradually builds in intensity
toward the proclamation: "As Christ has loved,
we also should love." The vocal writing is very
approachable, and the strong accompaniment
adds color and support.
11393955 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Deep Peace—Elaine Hagenberg. Beautifully
capturing the essence of a traditional Gaelic
blessing, this original setting evokes the natural
tranquility of a "gentle night" where the "moon
and stars pour their healing light on you." The
flowing piano accompaniment supports the
soaring legato vocal lines to create a mature
and artistic texture while remaining accessible
to choirs in school, church, or community
settings. The optional string quartet parts add
additional serenity and depth.

and all generations.

to mission and revival. Originally written and
recorded by the bluegrass group Blue Moon
Rising, and now available as a choral anthem,
the text speaks to the need for revitalizing our
lives as God once did to those "dry and dusty
bones." Upbeat yet with a purposeful message,
your choir will love preparing and presenting
this unique anthem.
11415835 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95
Embrace the Day—Pepper Choplin. This
original composition with limited four-part
writing is suitable for smaller ensembles or
choirs with limited rehearsal time. Well crafted,
and briefly quoting OLD 100TH, this charming
original urges us to "embrace the blessings of
the Lord, all the things we're thankful for."
11393633 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80
Eternal God, Eternal Now—David
Schwoebel. Focusing on the timelessness of
God, this anthem is a perfect choice for general

your listeners, and accompanists will enjoy the
sophisticated piano writing.
