GENERAL ANTHEMS
General Anthems
for Adult Choir
All God's People Come Together—Pepper
Choplin. Choirs of all sizes will enjoy this
anthem featuring an optional solo and a
cappella section. It sparkles with excitement
from its opening measures to the final pages
when the choir encourages the congregation
to "Rejoice!" in layers of sonic beauty.
11538377 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95
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 several
voicing options to accommodate any choir.

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
shimmering accompaniment and easily learned
vocal lines open this up to choirs of all sizes for
concert or service use.
11375949 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75
Alleluia—Randall Thompson. A true
masterpiece 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!

Alleluia! Sing Alleluia—J.S. Bach/arr. John
Leavitt. Teach Baroque style to your choir
and share it in worship! This setting of J.S.
Bach's chorus Auf schmetternde Tone from
BWV 107a can be sung throughout the year,
especially Eastertide. Brilliant traditional choral
writing mixes with a well-crafted piano part,
adding refinement to your service!
11568907 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
Arise and Rejoice!—Mark Patterson. Here is
a joyful anthem of praise and thanksgiving, with
an original text that celebrates the "gifts of age
and youth, the wisdom of the years." Bringing
the generations together, it is scored for adult
and children's choirs with organ and handbells.
It is a perfect anthem for church anniversaries
and other festive services.
11539770 SATB with Organ . . . . . . . . . 3.25
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 Not Afraid—John Purifoy. This anthem
speaks a word of comfort and assurance to
people of faith. Beautiful melodic contours
carry the message forward, while the flowing
accompaniment underscores the prayerful spirit
of the anthem, supported by the warmth of a
cello. Hopeful and melancholy at times, this will
bring a moment of meditation to your service.
11539719 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
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.
10188416 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
Believe in Me—David Lantz III. This Celtic-
style anthem's text, written by Herb Frombach,
is based freely on John 12:44. Mostly upbeat,
the contrasting a cappella middle section
returns to the opening energy where the
(optional) violin adds more Celtic flair. This
anthem, usable throughout the year, is great
fun to sing and appealing to the congregation.
Parts for C instrument, guitar, bass, and drum
are available separately.

Build a Longer Table—John Helgen. This
moving setting of a hymn of justice found in the
worship supplement All Creation Sings speaks
of healing divisions and caring for those in need
rather than shutting them out. The anthem is
based on the hymn tune
NOEL NOUVELET; the
choral writing is accessible with comfortable
ranges for all parts.
11539771 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
Call to Commitment—Joseph M. Martin. "God
is with us." This majestic invitation to ministry
was written as a special commission and has
as its centerpiece a statement of the hymn
O God, Our Help in Ages Past. The differing
themes speak as the varied voices of believers
helping to bring the message to life, including
an unaccompanied chant section, choral
divisi, a full range of dynamics, and piano or
orchestral accompaniment.
11569229 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
Can We Sing the Darkness to Light?—Kyle
Pederson. The text of this work invites the
listener to imagine a world without weapons of
war where the human experience is defined
through the lens of mercy and compassion.
The music is peaceful and very appropriate
to the text, with little divisi in the choral parts
and a supportive piano accompaniment.
Optional full score and parts for violin and cello
accompaniment are available from the publisher.

Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel Faure/ed.
John Rutter. This cherished piece composed
in 1865 has become a choral standard in both
sacred and concert settings. The lush, intense
choral writing is layered on top of undulating
triplet rhythms that pervade the texture. The
form is a straightforward ABA with instrumental
prelude and interlude. Presented with an English
singing translation in addition to the original
French, Rutter's excellent edition includes an
accompaniment for organ or piano. The work
may also be performed with the transcription
for harp and strings or with the complete
orchestration (available as a rental only.)

Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel Faure/
ed. Herbert Zipper. Probably Faure's best-
known and most frequently performed work
next to his Requiem. The lovely melodic lines
are over triplet figures in the accompaniment,
which can be done on piano, harp, or with a
small orchestra.
201335 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.50
Child of God—Mark A. Miller. This anthem
has all you've come to expect from Mark Miller:
resonant lyrics combined with a soulful melody.
Mixed choirs of all ages and sizes will enjoy
singing this Gospel ballad. The bridge brings
the piece to a powerful climax: "There is no
thing, or no one, that can separate you from the
truth that you're someone - you are family; you
are meant to be a child of God." Includes an
optional congregational part for use in worship.
Great for any service with a peace and justice
focus, as well as baptismal celebrations.
10513774 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
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—Dan Forrest. A text adapted
from scripture and lovely choral moments that
bring the text to life create a wonderful piece
of consecration and dedication. Lush choral
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, Let Us Sing unto the Lord—Joseph
M. Martin. Energy and excitement abound
in this anthem of praise! Driving, rhythmic
accompaniment supports a memorable
melody. Accessible to ensembles of varying
sizes, this psalm setting is joyous indeed!

Creation Sings—Shelton Ridge Love.
Inspiring and dynamic, this anthem offers an
engaging accompaniment that provides color
and energy, while the choral themes and
textures are carefully designed for clarity of text
that experienced singers will relish. "Creation
sings and we are in the music."
11539722 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75
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.

Draw the Circle Wide—Mark A. Miller. Gordon
Light's text is powerful by itself, but when added
to music composed by Mark Miller it becomes
an anthem of unity for all people, all cultures,
and all generations.

The Ends of the Earth (Are in Your Hand)—
Gwyneth Walker. The great American hymn
The Lone, Wild Bird serves as the basis for
this arrangement. The work begins with a
plaintive alto solo and gradually builds by
layering voices. Sensitive arranging and artistic
bird calls written into the upper voices are all
supported by a well-crafted accompaniment.
At the heart of this interpretation is the
conservation of the environment.
