How Shall We Sing Salvation's Song?Joseph
Martin & Susan Bentall Boersma. Joseph M. Martin
and lyricist Susan Bentall Boersma combine forces
to create this dramatic anthem that moves from
a pensive, haunting opening into an ebullient

rise up, rise up to meet Him; mountains bow down,
bow down to greet Him." Don't miss this special
anthem by one of America's best composers.

I Hear the Prophet Callin'Pepper Choplin.
This mesmerizing original opens with the haunting
call of the distant prophet, "Prepare the way of
the Lord." The choir responds as the voice of the
faithful, "Make straight the way in the desert for
our God." Composed in a simple, Appalachian folk
style, this little gem sparkles with creativity. Optional
instrumental accompaniment adds a plaintive touch
that is just right for Advent or Christmas morning.

l Jesus Comes the Mystery ProclaimingJohn
Carter. This 3-part anthem is well suited for the
third Sunday of Advent, Christmas Eve or Christmas
Day. The melody dances along throughout, and
the text centers on images and themes of the

song of welcome, Isaiah's winter rose, and the
Word made flesh.

Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silencearr. Craig
Courtney. The French hymn PICARDY is generally
sung at Christmastime, yet the text places Christ
into the context of history, and refers to his coming
as the one who will eventually vanquish the
"powers of hell." Consider this impressive setting
for Christmas and for Lenten services, and even for
the concert hall. Scored for more capable choral
forces and an accomplished pianist.
