Sanctus
Kyle Pederson.
This arrangement evokes "ancientness" by incorporating chant-
like motives, organ accompaniment, and the Latin language. The
arrangement is also thoroughly modern in harmonic structure and
dissonance, with a brief quote of the hymn NICEA. Overlapping vocal
lines wash over the listener, filling the space with glorious sound.

All We Are Belongs to You
Ephrem Feeley.
A gentle, lyrical setting of a paraphrase of Psalm 16 is written for voices
with descant and optional oboe. The whole-tone scale in the opening
bars and some modulatory twists offer a nod to the early 20th-century
impressionists while still being accessible tonally. It can be used for the
rites of baptism, confirmation, and Holy Orders.

How Can I Keep from Singing?
Robert Lowry/arr. Evelyn R. Larter.
This cherished hymn is beautifully set with flowing ease for choir and
piano. The minor key in the center stanza underscores the questions of
death and darkness in the text. The mood shifts to major again for an
uplifting final stanza that concludes by gently asking again: "How can I
keep from singing?"

tune What Wondrous Love Is This. It is a syncopated, rhythmic, and
wondrous setting.
