The Prayer
Carole Bayer Sager & David Foster/arr. Mark Hayes.

new arrangement soar.

Promise
Craig Courtney.
In this sublimely expressive choral work, images of spring are interlaced
with "the light of the promise that beats in a heart of love." This is pure
artistry at every turn! Divisi choral voices render "a fine mist of dreams,"
"crimson horizons" and "shadows of night" over scrumptious piano
textures. The final measures expire with a sigh, which will be matched by
every listener after the final chord. Exquisite!

A Psalm
Andy Beck.
Composed as a special commission for the North Carolina All-State Honors
Chorus, this contemporary concert work is satisfying from start to finish.
The exuberant music provides a joyful foundation for a text inspired by the
Book of Psalms, and a layered add-on section builds to the glorious coda.

Everyone loves this laid-back gospel arrangement of the American folk
classic set for mixed voices and piano. Harmonically rich and evenly paced,
this understated choral gem is perfect for the chancel choir or a concert
performance. Jazz idioms and a brief solo bring the work to a uniquely
satisfying close. Quite the treat!

Softly and Tenderly
Will L. Thompson/arr. Joel Raney.
This time-honored hymn portrays the gentle pleading of Christ's invitation
to "Come home." As explained in the parable of the prodigal son (Luke
15:11-32), Christ stands ever at the door, waiting and watching for the
weary. Joel Raney's elegant presentation lends passion and depth but
stays true to the original 19th century hymn by Will Thompson.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy
Frederick W. Faber/arr. Paul Langford.
This powerful hymn text about God's great mercy has been newly set by
Paul Langford in a slightly more contemporary way. The lyrical lines make
this an ideal choral setting on the theme of grace. The optional cello part
adds warmth and beauty, accentuating the lovely vocal writing.

This Is My Song
Tom Fettke.
A delicate, compassionate arrangement that includes the traditional Fanny
Crosby text of Blessed Assurance, now paired with a new melody. The
moving piano accompaniment is exactly what we have come to expect
from Tom Fettke, and the intricate melody is a perfect marriage for this
much-loved hymn. Singable, yet tender; familiar, yet new!

A stunning, tender arrangement that pairs the traditional carol text Who Is
He in Yonder Stall? with a gorgeous original melody. This lovely anthem
incorporates the familiar hymn tune
WHO IS HE to tell the story of Christ's
life from birth to death and resurrection. With compassion, intrigue and a
powerful, majestic ending - this one is not to be missed!

praise to you."
