Easter and another for Advent. In either season (or
both), it is sure to surprise your congregation as an
enthusiastic celebration of joy!

the concert hall. Scored for more capable choral
forces and an accomplished pianist.

A Light Will ShineLloyd Larson. This energetic
Advent anthem is based upon a famous passage
from Isaiah: "The people who walk in darkness will

l Mary's SongM. Roger Holland II. A slow,
gospel groove with an R&B feel complements this
contemporary interpretation of the Annunciation. A
series of multiple modulations builds the excitement

Mary's final yes- "Let it be according to Your will."
The piece requires a strong soloist. The addition of
a rhythm section would enhance the performance
of this M. Roger Holland original.

supports and adds another layer of tender beauty.

l My Soul Glorifies the LordDavid Foley. This
original composition from Dave Foley is a gentle,
contemplative setting of Mary's Magnificat from
Luke 1:46-56, useful during Advent, Christmas, or
general worship. The option for a female soloist at
the start lends itself to Mary's praise and thanks to
the Lord for her child to come. Along with simple
but lush accompaniment, this hymn of praise
quietly glorifies God for the gift Mary carries that is
about to change the world.

A setting for SATB choir and organ of three

ending. A must for Advent.

for a cappella voices, builds toward a climactic
ending. This is good enough to become an annual
tradition in your church.

separately, then bring the choir together through
intimate harmonies and suspensions. Would be
perfect for any Advent service, Vespers, or even a
midnight Christmas mass.
