Liturgical General Anthems
Come, Gracious Spirit, Heavenly Dove—
Justin Fields. An awe-filled prayer to the
Holy Spirit is filled with a joyful longing for
closeness with God. The piece consists
of a short, metric introduction followed by
nonmetered sections that switch between
melismatic and syllabic. Invite choirs and
congregations into deeper meditation and
prayer during Pentecost.

for school, college, community, and more
advanced church choirs.

Divine Encounter: I. The Invitation—
Craig Courtney. The first movement of the
trilogy Divine Encounter is a song in which
God invites us to receive His bounty. The
first verse of Isaiah 55 is expressed as a
celebration rather than the meditative, lyric
manner found in most settings. In contrast,
the setting of the sixth verse is regal,
earnest, and authoritative; the architecture
of the movement is built upon the contrast
between these two styles.

Courtney. The second movement of the

sacrifices to serve God and people alike.

Divine Encounter: III. The Blessing—
Craig Courtney. The third movement of the
trilogy Divine Encounter is a benediction
based on the traditional text from Numbers
6:24-26. As Jesus blessed and multiplied
the fish and bread, so God blesses the
offering we bring to Him. The melody, which
is one huge arc, is stated twice, creating a
simple, sincere message of peace and rest.

Exsultate! Jubilate!—Kyle Pederson.
This unique setting pairs the iconic Latin
text with a new, original English text

we rejoice and shout our praises to God?

and exuberance inherent in the phrases
"exsultate Deo" and "jubilate Deo," but also
reflects the quiet joys found in gratitude for
the daily gifts of breath and light. The piano
accompaniment is rhythmic and lively.

For the Blessings of Each Day—Alan
Wiseman. To a simple Celtic prayer of

powerful expression of appreciation for
God's presence and His holiness.
