Reach Down, Lord (from "A Vision
Unfolding")—Kyle Pederson. The opening
to "A Vision Unfolding," this gospel-inspired
piece provides a powerful introduction to
themes of justice, equality and unity. Robert
Bode's text asks for God to reach down with
justice in times of tribulation and calls us to
reach out to those who may be struggling.
A memorable melody acts as a mantra,
inspiring others to heed the call of justice.

Rest (from "These Ancient Words")—
Heather Sorenson. Lush harmonies and
elegant accompaniment patterns support
the lyrical melody, inviting the listener to
come to the Savior for rest and healing.
This fourth movement from the extended
work "These Ancient Words" comes
straight from Matthew 11:28-30. Written
for SATB, accompanied by piano or
chamber orchestration.

Shalom—Dan Forrest. This tender and
comforting work "passes the peace" as
its simple yet elegant melody washes
over the listener, gently unfolding its
text with increasing texture: "Peace I
leave with you, my peace I give to you,
not as the world gives; do not be afraid."
The Hebrew word "shalom" forms the
refrains, and whispers of the word "peace"
further paint the spirit and promise of the
text. With piano and optional violin, this
piece is equally at home in worship or
concert settings.

The Shelter of Shalom—Craig Courtney.
"You make a shelter of Yourself, my
dwelling place, my home; a refuge in the
wilderness, a shelter of shalom. Lead
me home, lead me home, lead me home
at last to You." This setting poignantly
communicates Pamela Stewart's rich text
portraying God as our shelter throughout
our entire lives.

Shepherd, Savior, Lord—Michael E.

Shout for Joy—Dan Davison. This
vigorous work based on Psalm 98 employs
alternating 3/4 and 6/8 meter with excellent
effect. The frequent changes of meter,
percussive quality of the accompaniment,
and nontraditional chord structure show
the influence of Spanish music on the
composer. The piece is short and quickly
learned, with lots of excitement to make it a
good opener.

Table of Joy—Joseph M. Martin. This
piece is a rare find, with its lilting dance-

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.
