O Blessed Jesus—Robert G. Farrell. This
short but stunning a cappella composition
is a fine option for choirs of all abilities
looking to extend a liturgical moment. The
vocal entrances are beautifully staggered,
and each phrase is given a prayerful,
contemplative quality. Based on the St.
John of the Cross Prayer of Peace, it is
suitable for liturgies with themes of Christian
life, comfort, and peace.

O Come, Let Us Sing (When in Our
Music God Is Glorified)—David Conte.
Combining two sacred texts, Psalm 95 in

Green's hymn text When In Our Music
God Is Glorified, this anthem is inspired
by Charles Villiers Stanford's setting of the
latter. It can be performed with or without
the congregation, with the choir singing the
hymn tune and a solo quartet singing the
Gloria Patri.

composition alongside familiar material
creates a unique experience for choir and
congregation.

three-note figure builds gradually into a rich,
soaring four-part texture. Glorious in service

Sunday. Optional string quartet/quintet/

John Trotta. This anthem is a beautifully
crafted celebration of assurance that will

Requiem—Eliza Gilkyson/arr. Craig Hella
Johnson. Singer/songwriter Eliza Gilkyson
wrote Requiem as a song of grief following
the Asian tsunami in December 2004, and

Coast region. This setting by Conspirare
conductor Craig Hella Johnson is powerful
in its emotional impact.

melodic lines and fragments form the basis
for a delicious counterpoint in this traditional
folk hymn arrangement. The harmonies are
at once modern and tasteful, with elements
of tone-painting and melismatic treatment of
the word "rise" throughout. Yet, it retains the
historical feel of this joyful American song in
an a cappella style that is worthy of study
and performance. Beautiful!

Servabis pacem (Keep Peace)—Shelly

welcome challenge for part independence.

The Son of God, Our Christ—arr. Anne

and is ideal for services of ordination and
ministry recognition.

Splendor (from "Illuminare")—Elaine
Hagenberg. The opening movement from
the larger work "Illuminare" set on Saint
Ambrose's Latin text radiates majestic
energy that heralds the arrival of Light and
a joyful "Gloriae" section. A brief contrasting
section of legato singing brings a peaceful
release before returning to the vibrant
momentum present in the opening. A
wonderful work that stands on its own as a
strong statement for mixed choirs.

Adore Him that begins in canon and ends
in joyous adoration.

accompaniment, the beautiful modern
harmonies and cluster chords create an
artistic setting that is equally appropriate for
service use or the concert stage.
