Sanctus
A Separate Splendor
Craig Courtney.
"You brush the vault of heaven and paint the stars of night, each
with a separate splendor, the canvas filled with light." Pamela
Stewart writes radiantly about the glory of the heavens being the
same glory of each human. The text is alternated with a "Sanctus"
refrain that unfolds more fully with each repetition. Full of rich
meaning and tuneful melody, perfect for worship settings or
school and community programs.

You Are the Peace of
All Things Calm

harmony, then finally to SAB with descant. Scored for keyboard,
guitar, and solo instrument in C, with additional parts for optional
cello, this beautiful setting offers a flexible, expressive choice for
worship throughout the year.

Your Love
Craig Courtney.
A creative weaving of music and lyric, the two sections of this
Pamela Stewart text each enjoy a separate tune. Then the
two tunes layer together, picturing the phrases "O what can
separate us? I lose myself in you" and "Embraced beyond all
earthly measure, O who am I that you love me?" The setting is
suitable for use in both sacred and secular settings on themes
of love and devotion.
