ExaltationJohn Chisum, Tom Fettke, Bill
George. Tom Fettke, creator of the worship
classic, The Majesty and Glory of Your Name,
has created yet another uniquely moving and
powerful anthem. The text, inspired by the
Psalms, exalts Almighty God as our Father, holy
and transcendent, yet rich in unfailing love.
Expressive melody lines are interwoven with
choral writing that is lush but highly accessible.
The keyboard accompaniment is both beautifully
conceived and imminently playable. The optional
orchestration is a stirring work of art.

There is a time-honored confidence to the musical
statement that composer Joseph Martin has
given to the singers, and the words march well
to the tune. A cello adds a warm strength to the
anthem. The musical picture becomes complete
when the opening phrase ends with the prayer, "O
fill this house with grace."

Angerman. Powerful challenges leap from the pages
of this festival type piece featuring a significant
organ accompaniment and a memorable melodic
main theme. The poetic connection between the
stones of our physical church buildings, the living
stones or people of the church, the stones David
used to slay Goliath and even the resurrection
stone of Christ is a singular yet effective sermon
in song. A significant ending crowns the work with
confidence and conviction.

Choplin. Two traditional American folk hymns,
Down to the River to Pray and Shall We Gather at
the River, are creatively blended together in this
outstanding anthem. Accessible choral writing

first presented separately and then in tandem. Just
as a river, the text flows gently above a simple, yet
supportive keyboard accompaniment.

and beauty of men's voices speak effectively in this
inspiring original. Music is the medium for witness

theme song for choirs of faith.

GloriaCraig Courtney. Craig Courtney's setting
of the traditional Latin text is reminiscent of Randall
Thompson: a brief choral work on the "Gloria" text, a
cappella, with an effervescent joy, occasional meter
shifts and the change in mood on "et in terra pax."
Small percussion instruments add just a touch of
sparkle and occasional divisi give richness and color
at just the appropriate times. Suitable for Christmas
concerts and church services, festival appearances,
as a concert opener or service prelude, this
promises to be one of Craig's most enduring works
and we offer it to singers everywhere with our
highest recommendation.
