Sacred Concert & Spirituals
For the Beauty of the Earth—John Rutter.
John Rutter's engaging melody over a
flowing accompaniment is equally beautiful
in either the SATB or SA treatment. Full
instrumentation includes strings, winds,
harp (playable on keyboard), and drums.
Reduced orchestration includes flute, oboe,
harp, and organ. Instrumental lines soar as
beautifully as the vocal melody. A perennial
favorite, this is a tasteful blend of text and
musical expression. Vintage John Rutter.

For This Joy—arr. Susan LaBarr. Charles
Anthony Silvestri's text breathes new life
into an age-old hymn tune,
LOBE DEN
HERREN.
Extolling the beauty of nature
and all of life, this modern setting employs
a tenderness and subtlety with a gently
spinning piano accompaniment and clarinet
obbligato throughout that brings awareness
to the text.

Get on Board, Little Children—arr. Andre
J. Thomas. A traditional spiritual in a stylized
gospel setting, this arrangement is designed
for all voice parts, with unison lines to suit
choirs of any size and skill level. True to
Thomas' style, the piano brings beautiful
harmonies, rhythmic energy, and gospel flair.
It's a wonderful concert addition or closer!

Gloria—James M. DesJardins. Experience
the traditional Gloria Latin text in this
interesting modern setting that employs
uneven meter and mixolydian tonality.
The meter consistently follows a pattern
of 2+2+3, enabling singers to strengthen
their rhythmic fluency while singing vocal
lines that further enhance their overall
musicianship. Add the optional obbligato
for Bb clarinet for added harmonic interest.

Gloria—Noah Reese. Reese's a cappella
canon, based on a descending D major
scale, is fantastic for teaching unison
singing, reinforcing part singing, and
developing choral tone, all within the
framework of conservative ranges for the
treble choir. The celebratory Latin text adds
an element of excitement and maturity while
helping to shape the vowels and tone of
young singers.

Gloria and Alleluia—Ruth Elaine Schram.
Two short contrasting movements may
either stand on their own or combine into
one longer setting. The Gloria setting is
upbeat, rhythmic, and fanfare-like, while
the Alleluia is quiet, introspective and set
in a minor key. Both are lovely a cappella
settings that are achievable by choirs in a
school, church or community setting.

Glorious Things—arr. Jacob Thomas.
With text by John Newton, this artful and
practical arrangement of the Sacred Harp
tune
JEFFERSON is a fine addition to any
mixed ensemble's choral library. A variety
of vocal textures, grace notes, and optional
stomps make this setting of an early
American classic stylistically authentic and
enjoyable to sing.

Matt Podd. This new take on a traditional

text provides a beautiful moment for
personal reflection. With careful attention to
detail and voice leading, this piece may be

expressive phrasing, it may be sung as a
benediction.

God Be in My Head—Andrea Ramsey.
This lovely work for treble voices and piano
is a lyric, fluid rendering of the familiar text
from the Book of Hours (1541). Elegantly
simple, it offers the opportunity for young
choirs to explore tone, blend, and musical
sensitivity while offering a message of
comfort. An ideal way to close a concert
or service.

God Be With You 'Til We Meet Again—
Kyle Pederson. The simple yet heartfelt
melody for this traditional Irish blessing will
resonate with your choir as well as your
audience. Additional text by the composer
adds depth to the lovely text: "May you
know grace and mercy; may you serve
as you've been served; may you forgive
as you've been forgiven, may you love as
you've been loved." An optional guitar or
harp/synth part provides atmosphere and a
wistful, enchanting quality.

Grace Before Sleep—Susan LaBarr.
Sara Teasdale's poem of thanks inspired
this beautiful, melodic setting for a
cappella choir. A quiet opening builds into
a gorgeous, resounding climax before
coming to a more reflective, thankful
close. The piece could provide a tender,
thoughtful ending to a concert, or be part
of a theme of thanksgiving.

Great Gettin' Up Mornin'—arr. Rollo
Dilworth. A common theme among
spirituals is "the great judgment day"
and the idea of hope for a better future.
Incorporating quotes from Great Day as
well as original verses with a stylish gospel
piano accompaniment, this arrangement
layers melodies and strong harmonies in a
dynamic concert gospel arrangement that
explores these important themes in their
historical context.
