GENERAL ANTHEMS
Wounded Alleluias—Craig Courtney. A refrain
of "Alleluias" surrounds this prayer for healing
by Joseph Martin. Inspiring musical images
become metaphors for redemption: "Lord, heal
our wounded alleluias; touch our fragile, simple
praise; comfort every troubled wayward song
with your gentle grace." A thoughtful anthem
for use throughout the church year.

You Are My Refuge—Michael John Trotta.
This stunningly expressive work was
commissioned by a number of high school
choir programs forced to cancel concerts
due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Inspiring and
reflective, the rich harmonies capture both
a sense of poignancy and hope. An optional
descant soars above the choir, adding a sense
of expansiveness: "Your voice brings hope!"

You Do Not Walk Alone—Elaine Hagenberg.
"May you always remember when the shadows
fall, you do not walk alone." This ethereal
setting of a traditional Irish blessing is scored
in a variety of voicings with piano. Deft strokes
of Celtic styling within the melody weaves
throughout the vocal texture. Gradually building
in intensity, it transitions into the final stanza
with a burst of light, aided by a key change,
then slowly draws to a quiet close.

dramatic piece will plant the important message

and you welcomed me." Each part has its
place to shine with interesting harmonies and
a strong melody. Dynamic and musical interest
abound in this sermon in song.

with slow, quiet reverence, this regal anthem
transitions into a faster, majestic pledge of
commitment to the living God. The vocal

unison sections of declamation and flowing
homophonic choral statements. Accompaniment
options include piano and full orchestra.

Death Be Not Proud
Larry Visser.
John Donne's sonnet Death Be Not Proud is paraphrased and
set as a concertato on the original tune
SUSAN BETH with organ
accompaniment. The middle verse is a cappella, and a descant
crowns the final verse sung over unison choir and congregation.
Each verse begins with a challenge to death's power and concludes
with the affirmation that Christ will have the final victory.
