General Anthems for Adult Choir
Bought with a Price—Adam Morgan/arr.
Benjamin David Knoedler. The anthem
begins with a tender solo and repentant
reflection on Christ's sacrificial death on
the cross, drawing the congregation into
a profound remembrance of redemption's
cost. As the music builds, it transforms into
a powerful, confident declaration of victory
and new life through salvation and the
precious blood of Jesus.

Boundless Love, Amazing Grace—
Karen Walters/arr. Roger Thornhill. Simply
beautiful, this approachable ballad is a useful
anthem for any time of the church year.
Unison singing is enhanced by a canon and
well-crafted countermelodies. The message
is filled with hope and promise, and the use
of familiar tunes instantly endears the work
to the listener's heart.

Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel
Fauré/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 Fauré/
ed. Herbert Zipper. Probably Faure's best-
known and most frequently performed
work next to his Requiem. The lovely
melodic lines are over triplet figures in the
accompaniment, which can be done on
piano, harp, or with a small orchestra.

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.

Children of God—Nancy Grundahl. Nancy
Grundahl's SATB setting of Mother Teresa's
text on unity and inclusion blends simplicity
with emotional depth. A gentle and lyrical
melody builds into dramatic moments that
highlight the words, "We are all children of
God." Options to include soloists or a youth
choir allow for added flexibility.

A Choral Prayer—Roy Hopp. Serene
alleluias begin this tenderly set adaptation
of Psalm 41:2. The text has been adapted
by Pearl Shangkuan and is suitable for
worship or concert settings. The final pages
of the anthem provide an excellent prayer
for choir rehearsals. This is appropriate for
general use throughout the church year.

Clap Your Hands! Sing for Joy!—Diane
Hannibal & Jon Paige. This is pure
joy! Written in a neoclassical style,
this worshipful anthem features bold,
confident expressions of adoration. Its
rich, full harmonies are expertly balanced
by contrasting expressive melodic lines,
resulting in a piece that offers creative
musical variety and lyrical clarity.
11684891 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
Come By Here—arr. Kyle Pederson. This
sensitive setting of the spiritual Kum Bah
Ya 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.
11199621 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.20
Come to Me—Dan Forrest. A text adapted
from scripture and lovely choral moments
that bring the text to life create a wonderful
piece of consecration and dedication.
Lush choral writing, with engaging
interplay between upper and lower voices,
contributes moments of true beauty. The
rich, elegant piano accompaniment is
enhanced by a part for solo cello which is
included in the octavo.

Come to Me, All Who Labor—John
Schimminger. This choral setting of Jesus'
comforting words from Matthew 11:28-30
offers rest and reassurance to weary hearts.
With gentle musical expression, it invites
singers and listeners to come, lay down
their burdens, and find renewal in Christ.
Ideal for worship throughout the year, it
beautifully reflects the compassion, humility,
and promise of true rest found in Him.

Come to the Fountain of Mercy—William
Rose. This setting of the 19th-century text
by Fanny Crosby is done in a simple, light
Celtic ballad style. The voice parts are
primarily in unison, and duet in sixths, with
three- and four-part writing sparingly used
in the refrain. The accompaniment mimics
both the sound of the Irish harp and, later,
the Irish tin whistle.
11642154 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80
Come, Holy Spirit, Come—Philip M.
Hayden. Pure joy leaps from the pages
of this innovative invocation. A perfect
anthem to celebrate the "many voices, one
song" ideals of the season of Pentecost,
this message will energize your sanctuary
with inviting rhythms and approachable
melodic motives.

Deep Peace—Elaine Hagenberg. Beautifully
capturing the essence of a traditional Gaelic
blessing, this original setting evokes the
natural tranquility of a "gentle night" where
the "moon and stars pour their healing light
on you." The flowing piano accompaniment
supports the soaring legato vocal lines to
create a mature and artistic texture while
remaining accessible to choirs in school,
church, or community settings. The optional
string quartet parts add additional serenity
and depth.

Draw the Circle Wide—Mark A. Miller.
Gordon Light's text is powerful by itself,
but when added to music composed
by Mark Miller it becomes an anthem
of unity for all people, all cultures, and
all generations.
10061177 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
The Embrace—Craig Courtney. Another
beautiful collaboration with Pamela Stewart
that reflects on God's never-ending
presence in everything. "Called or uncalled,
God, you are present within the air, the
breath I take." An optional Latin chant adds
interest at both the beginning and the end of
the anthem.

The Family We Find Along the Way—
Mark Burrows. "The blessings we breathe
in, the bond we believe in – the family we
find along the way." With a gospel groove
that sits right in the pocket and harmonies
that are tons of fun to sing, choirs will
love singing this with – and for – one
another. Ideal as a closer, choir theme
song, graduation feature, or anthem of
togetherness, it will be sweetly cherished in
any situation.
11595560 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.25
Feed My Lambs—John A. Behnke. The
text is a combination of scripture verses
from John 21 and 1 John 4, when Jesus
asks his disciples to feed his sheep. An
option for children's voices makes this a
compelling anthem for many different times
during the church year.
