Oh, Teach Me What It Means, Lord
David Rasbach.
"Oh, teach me what it means, Lord, that cross uplifted high, with one, the
Man of sorrows, condemned to bleed and die! Oh, teach me what it cost
Thee to make a sinner whole, and teach me, Savior, teach me the value
of a soul." With a sound and feel reminiscent of Celtic folksong style and
an introspective piano accompaniment, this anthem will be an impressive
addition to your choral season. The piece begins and ends solemnly,
featuring a beautifully-written middle section and a tender strength
throughout. A stunning anthem for Holy Week worship!

Think of Me and Remember
Joel Raney.
This Communion original by Joel Raney speaks through the voice of Christ
saying, "Come and follow me; my life I give so you may live." Useful for any
Communion service, it is particularly effective during the season of Lent
and Holy Week as it builds to the scene at Calvary with the words, "Father,
let this cup, please, pass from me." Choirs will appreciate the melodic
lines and the intensity that builds before finally returning to the key phrase,
"think of me and remember."

Lenten Sanctus
Lee Dengler.
Quoting fragments of the well-known hymn Ah Holy Jesus, as well as
the text from the Sanctus, this is an anthem of worship to the Savior who
suffered for the world's salvation. Undergirded with an expressive, flowing
accompaniment, the gradual layering of vocal parts builds in each of the
verses to lush four-part writing, which creates an intensity reflecting Jesus'
sacrificial love. The soprano descant serves to further enhance the final
dramatic "Holy, holy, holy Lord." A truly moving piece!

Nothing But the Blood of Jesus
Robert Lowry/arr. Craig Courtney.
With artful simplicity, Craig Courtney has recast this beloved hymn with
a nod to Appalachian hymn style. Voices, piano and solo violin spin a
delicate tapestry around the melody, pausing for a verse as the voices sing
a cappella. The final verse with canonic layering in the vocal lines adds
momentum and a touch of greater conviction to the message. The final
phrase brings the work to a resolved conclusion.
