General Anthems for Men
Ain't Judgin' No Man—Greg Gilpin.
Cut from the same cloth as the great traditional
spirituals, this riveting a cappella original has
unwavering rhythmic intensity, gripping minor-key
sonorities, and a marvelous text. "Ain't judgin' no
man for the life he leads, ain't passin' no judgment
on my fellow man, I'm leavin' it all in the good
Lord's hands..." It's exciting as it builds and builds
to a big finish! Highly recommended!

Battle Hymn of the Republic—
arr. Peter Wilhousky. The Wilhousky setting
of this 19th century hymn is possibly the most
heartfelt musical pronouncement of American
patriotism. Divisi sections in all parts are accessible
and still richly expressive with harmonic colors
and sweeping dynamic contrasts. Emotional and
highly effective, it is a truly magnificent setting
that may be performed with band or orchestral
accompaniment. It's also the one chosen most
often by U.S. military ensembles.

By Faith—Keith & Kristyn Getty &
Stuart Townend/arr. Richard Nichols.
A glorious message, this hymn-style anthem
reminds us that our work as keepers of faith is ever
present. "Till the race is finished and the work is
done we'll walk by faith and not by sight." Beautiful
choral parts and stunning orchestration present a
song worthy of celebrating the work of the church.
Poignant for mission's services and pastor or church
staff dedication, it celebrates the church walking
forward together as children of the promise.

Fill-A-Me Up—Pepper Choplin.
Here's a very appealing, spirited a cappella choral!
It sounds more difficult than it is, which allows a
variety of choirs the opportunity to be challenged by
unaccompanied singing. A soloist or small ensemble
can be featured along with an incredibly fun,
optional percussion accompaniment. Full of fire!

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah—Howard Helvey.
"I am thankful for the journey...I am hopeful for
the future...since I lay my burdens down." While
this choral work is indeed a gospel powerhouse, it
maintains a restrained, easy gospel feel that builds
slowly to a thrilling conclusion. A fusion of the
American gospel style and jazz harmonies, this is
a musical portrait that encapsulates the triumph of
the human spirit. There is simply nothing better for
mixed chorus or men's voices in either the church
or concert hall. Unforgettable!

His Robes for Mine—arr. Dan Forrest.
As you reflect on Christ's love and sacrifice for us,
this Lenten offering provides a poignant moment
of meaningful meditation in worship. "His robes for
mine: O wonderful exchange! Clothed in my sin,
Christ suffered 'neath God's rage. Draped in His
righteousness, I'm justified. In Christ I live, for in my
place He died." Touching!

The Holy Heart—arr. Mary McDonald.
This sacred song takes us on a journey into the
heart of Christ's mercy and grace. The music has
the patina of a folk hymn and yet there is fresh
quality in the sound. Crafted to perfection, this
arrangement uses the richness of the choir to go
from the whispered silence to soaring crescendos
of praise. "For me He was forsaken, for me He
died alone, my sin forever taken that I might be His
own." Unforgettable!

Sing Your Way Home—Joseph M. Martin.
Deeply expressive, an old poem is treated with rich
harmonies to become a moving closer for concerts
or festivals. Written with an ear to the a cappella
glee club tradition, the incorporation of Dvorak's
Going Home connects to the heart of the audience
and wraps them in the embrace of the warm
sounds that only a men's choir can produce.
