4 bide With MeWilliam H. Monk/arr. Anna
A
Laura Page. A hymn of the prayerful heart,
Abide with Me is beautifully cast in this choral
setting that is deeply expressive and at times
sublimely eloquent. Vocals glide over a rolling
piano accompaniment as the melody is adorned
with flute and solo handbell obbligati. Judicious
key changes bring the anthem to a crescendo at
just the right moment: "Heaven's morning breaks
and earth's vain shadows flee." A fine choice for
memorials or dedicatory services as well as other
thoughtful moments in worship.

l bide With MeJohn D. Cornish. "Help of
A
the helpless, O, abide with me." Henry Lyte's

Cornish's expressive original melody in this
prayerful choral anthem. Cornish takes particular
care with each verse, building through the prayer
to a vision of the eternal with arching choral
lines and sweeping piano passages. A song of
eternal hope, this is particularly meaningful for
memorials and dedication services.

A
bide with Mearr. Molly Ijames. The concept
is a simple one, really: Three verses of a beloved
hymn, two key changes for interest, voices with
piano, and a mounting intensity through the verses
to heighten the emotive qualities of the prayer. And
yet this setting, with its accompaniment based on
triplets, is so compelling and deeply wrought that
your singers and congregation will gain a whole
new appreciation for the hymn. The final "amen"
will allow everyone to breathe their own "amen" in
devoted response. Exquisite!

4 Amazing Love!David Rasbach. In quiet
moments of thought or prayer, sometimes the
depth of love shown by Christ to the believer is
simply overwhelming. This choral anthem captures
those most private thoughts with the text of Charles
Wesley's timeless hymn And Can It Be. An essay
on the love of Christ that is thoughtful, at times
dramatic, and always deeply grateful, the setting
offers a banquet of expressive nuances that bring
out the very best in the choral voices and piano
accompaniment. Tender, melodic and deeply felt,
the piece offers its challenges, but will carry the
listener to that place of deepest gratitude to the One
who "emptied himself of all but love."
