General Anthems for Adult Choir
We Lift Up Our Voices—Karen Marrolli.
This uplifting and joyful expression of praise
features an original text by Charles Anthony
Silvestri. The optional violin part adds vitality
and color to the composition with phrases
of For the Beauty of the Earth used toward
the end. A descant is also added on the last
verse to join all voices in honor and praise.

We Resist (Prayer Chant)—Mark A. Miller.
A powerful call for justice, compassion,
and reconciliation, this original work urges
communities to resist hatred, welcome the
stranger, love their neighbor, and seek to
embody faith in action. Easily learned with
a memorable melody, soulful repetition, and
an accessible structure, it allows choirs to
sing with conviction and clarity.

The text by Herb Frombach emphasizes
the idea of being part of God's family. The

nature. It is suitable at any time of the year

We Will Rejoice (When the Fig Tree
Fails to Blossom)—Mark A. Miller. Like
the biblical psalms of lament, the words
move slowly but deliberately through
struggle and despair toward praise. Two
accompaniments are provided. The first is
well suited to a soloist singing the verses
with the choir joining at the refrain. The
second accompaniment provides more
melodic support throughout.

uncluttered arrangement that allows the
words to speak clearly and authentically. A
perfect selection for communion.

arrangement pairs a centuries-old text with
a thoughtfully modern tune. The subdued

colored harmonies. As the text deepens in

before gently returning to stillness. A full
orchestration is available to enhance the
beauty and expressiveness of this piece.

and the sustaining presence of Christ. It
offers both poignant beauty and profound
spiritual depth.

When Our World Is Rent by Violence—
Thomas Keesecker. The text used for this
anthem gives a compelling voice to prayerful
lament and hope. The timely message
resonates deeply in today's society as
tension and yearning become a part of our
lives. The haunting hymn tune PICARDY
underscores the words with gravity and
restraint, allowing this setting to lead us to
longing for peace and a faithful response.

Glenda E. Franklin. Set in the style of a
spiritual, this anthem begins with a refrain

change, the altos take center stage as the
remaining three voices echo.

Lloyd Larson. A prayer of commitment,
this anthem carries in its words a deeply
personal perspective on a treasured bible
passage. Approachable part writing enables
expressive attention to the dynamics and

With What Shall I Come Before the Lord?
—Matthew J. Armstrong. This memorable
anthem begins with the lesser-known verses
of Micah 6:6-7, when Micah asks what he
should bring before the Lord. It is a section
of scripture written to call out those who were
not focused on what was most important.
Lush, heartfelt writing draws us into the
message that inspires us to work for justice
through kindness and humbleness.

The Word of God Is Source and Seed—
Carl Heine. A sturdy tune reminiscent of
early American and Appalachian melodies
is paired with Sister Delores Dufner's joyful
text that meditates on God's living word.
Featuring a soloist, a cappella sections,
and expressive choral writing, this piece
works beautifully for services centered on
scripture while remaining perfectly suitable
for general worship.
