Sing to the Lord a New Song
Diane Hannibal.

on slim Sundays as well as for youth choirs. Lilting and lively in 6/8,
it is based on Psalm 96 and exudes an almost neoclassical feel. The
B section starts in minor for a brief contrast before the original theme
returns to provide an exuberant close.

Table of Joy
Joseph M. Martin.
This piece is a rare find, with its lilting dance-like opening and closing
not typical of most communion anthems. The middle section uses the
tune
FOREST GREEN and the text In Christ There Is No East or West,
which continues the theme of unity around the table, ideal for World
Communion Sunday. Score and parts for handbells, flute, and cello are
available separately.
