Spirit Come Down—Mark Hayes. Mark Hayes'
spirited adaptation of Acts 2:1-4 is sure to be a treat for

Spirit of Comfort, Spirit of Hope—Douglas Nolan/
arr. David Angerman.
This heartfelt testament of God's
restorative grace is an anthem dedicated to a special
community of faith. Following a tragic EF5 tornado that
destroyed the church and devastated the city of Joplin,
Missouri, the people rebuilt their church. The words of the
song are a dramatic reminder that grace is "like an ark
sailing through a sea of tears." The opening utilizes the
plainsong tune
DIVINUM MYSTERIUM, often associated with
Advent but here reworked for Pentecost. The piece then
evolves into a more contemporary praise song that is a
true call to worship for a grateful church. Perfect for the
season of Pentecost!

Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart—
Frederick Atkinson/arr. Joan Pinkston.
Joan Pinkston tenderly sets this well known hymn

accompaniment and optional flowing string ensemble and
clarinet obbligato, this arrangement will win the hearts of
listeners as the words reverently plead, "my heart an altar,
Thy love, the flame."

When Speaking Has Ceased—Craig Courtney.
"When speaking has ceased and the room has grown
still... The Spirit of God finds a place to alight." This choral
essay on the presence of the Holy Spirit is a study in
contrasts: the clamor of earth and the quiet voice of God;
the heavy burden and the weight of prayer. This is Craig
Courtney at his expressive best on a work of depth for the
adult choir and Spirit-filled worship.
