Adult General Anthems
Bring to Me Your Peace—David Lantz
III. This text by Herb Frombach uses
words from Psalm 86:6 and expresses
a heartfelt request for God's attention
and compassion in times of need.
The sensitive arrangement allows the
congregation to focus on the meaningful
words. It is very accessible to small church
choirs and is appropriate throughout the
church year.

Call On My Name—Ed Smart. Inspired by
Jeremiah 29 and 31, this beautiful
melody accompanies the reassuring "Be

14:15 as its foundation - "If you love me,
keep my commandments" - this heartfelt

sustain an intimacy and calm that will
comfort and inspire.

Can This Love Be So? (Upendo)—
David Lantz III. Upendo is the Swahili
word for love. This positive and upbeat
anthem is all about God's love for us.
Herb Frombach based the main body of
the text on Ephesians 3:18-21. The call-
and-response section is inspired by Psalm
100. Solo or small group opportunities
enhance the harmony. A conductor's
score with percussion parts is available
separately.

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.

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

melodic lines are over triplet figures in the
accompaniment, which can be done on

Charity and Love—Sarah T. Tullock. This
setting features combined treble and
mixed choirs. The paraphrase of the
traditional Ubi caritas text celebrates
the rich heritage of this sacred hymn for
all ages. It features a creative refrain
that can be performed as a stand-alone
canon, and the flexible voicing allows
performance with or without a treble choir.

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.

Christ Became Like Us—David Lantz
III. "Christ became like us, that we might
become more like Him." The theme of
this text reflects God's desire for all of
us to be more like Christ. Sing this song
with the voice of your heart. It has solid
vocal writing with a supportive piano
accompaniment and is appropriate for
general use.

Christ, Enthroned in Light—Orin Johnson.
Filled with hopeful sentiment and
expressive phrasing, this is an
excellent selection for liturgical high
points like Christ the King Sunday and
Transfiguration Sunday, and also fits well
during the general church year. It has
carefully crafted choral parts, a supportive
accompaniment, and a lovely optional
oboe obbligato.

The Church Enduring—Joseph M.
Martin. A powerful tribute to the ministry
of the church is presented in this stirring

through a memorable main theme arching
with soaring harmonies and inspiring words
before culminating in a heroic statement of
confidence in Christ.

Come and Find Your Perfect Rest—
Lloyd Larson. A moving main theme sets
the stage for this scripture-based song of
assurance. With tenderness and sincerity,
the anthem gently cradles the messages
of comfort, grace, and peace with
expressive dynamics and warm harmonies.
Approachable part writing makes this a wise
choice. The violin part is included.

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.

true rest. With easily accessible vocal
ranges, rhythms, and harmonies, this piece
can be enjoyed by vocal groups of all sizes
and abilities.

lower voices, contributes moments of

accompaniment is enhanced by a part for
solo cello which is included in the octavo.
