ADULT CHOIR
GENERAL ANTHEMS
Dere's No Hidin Place Down Here
arr. Stacey V. Gibbs.
This is another fabulous piece by Stacey Gibbs, an amazing arranger of
Spirituals. It is primarily written for 4-part male voices but does break into some
divisi near the end. Some rockin' parts appear in this setting and some play on
words as well, making it a great concert or festival piece. For high school aged
choirs and older.

Down to the River to Pray
Ken Medema/arr. Mary McDonald.
Mary McDonald captures the spirit and message of two popular songs that deal
with the significance of prayer for the individual believer and the church as a
whole. The spiritual, Down to the River to Pray, is seamlessly combined with
Ken Medema's Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying. Together, they poignantly
ask for the Father's love, the Spirit's power, and the grace of Jesus to direct
the lives of all believers. Choirs will enjoy the flavor of this partnered song with
its unhurried rhythmic style and supportive accompaniment.

Every Eye is Different
Daniel Kantor.
As if to reflect our differences, the voicing in this appeal for tolerance builds
from unison (or optional solo voice) at the start to full SATB choir in verses
3 and 4. A key change in the fourth verse, and the addition of an optional
descant for C instrument. A gentle and unobtrusive piano accompaniment
supports the beauty of the text throughout.

Fly Away Home
Pepper Choplin.
Contemplative, heartwarming, and set in a simple folk-ballad style, Pepper
Choplin explores the promise of eternal rest promised by Jesus to His followers:
"O fly away home. Come and claim sweet heaven's prize." Well suited as a
memorial or general anthem.

Gather by the River to Pray
arr. Pepper 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 delivers warm texture throughout as each song is first
presented separately and then in tandem. Just as a river, the text flows gently
above a simple yet supportive keyboard accompaniment.

As We Sail to Heaven's Shore
Greg Nelson and Phill McHugh/arr. Tom Fettke and Thomas Grassi.
Steve Green's iconic song that portrays life as a sacred voyage is now
tenderly adapted for choirs. This hopeful selection will be particularly useful for
memorials and services of remembrance. The impressionistic accompaniment
and rich warm choral writing provide the support needed to allow success
for choirs of any size. "Draw us near, oh, finest Friend, from dawn's light to
evening's end. Each passing day, we love You more, as we sail to heaven's
shore." Highly recommended!

Child of God
Mark A. Miller.
This anthem has all you've come to expect from Mark Miller: resonant lyrics
combined with a soulful melody. Mixed choirs of all ages and sizes will enjoy
singing this Gospel ballad. The bridge brings the piece to a powerful climax:
"There is no thing, or no one, that can separate you from the truth that you're
someone - you are family; you are meant to be a child of God." Includes an
optional congregational part for use in worship. Great for any service with a
peace and justice focus, as well as baptismal celebrations.

Come Just As You Are
Joseph Sabolick/arr. Benjamin Harlan.
A song of commitment, the tender text assures us that we can come with all
of our imperfections to the Christ who offers life forever more. "Life everlasting
and strength for today, taste the living water and never thirst again!" Arranged
by Benjamin Harlan, this compassionate song offers assurance to those who
will simply "come."

Come Unto Him
arr. Lee Dengler & Susan Naus Dengler.
Combining two familiar melodies, the folk tune Shenandoah and He Shall
Feed His Flock from Handel's "Messiah," and a tender and compassionate
text, this stirring anthem reminds us of the comfort we find in Christ.
It's an invitation to those weary from their labor, burdened with care and
heavyhearted, to find comfort and rest in Jesus. Perfect for a memorial
service or anytime words of comfort may be needed, this stirring anthem is
a powerful reminder of God's peace.

Declare Your Maker's Praise!
Lloyd Larson.
One of the most celebrated tunes of recent cinematic musical output introduces
the spirit and pace of this special offering. Walking with simple dignity, the
piece moves into an engaging setting of the beloved This Is My Father's World.
The arranger has ensured success through careful part-writing, making it
fulfilling for each section of the choir, and solid accompaniment support. This
universal message of gratitude is at home in every season.
