This spirited original, based on Psalm 98, is a wonderful festival piece, a

sincere original offers a marvelous opportunity to feature a soprano or tenor
soloist with your choir. The work ends as softly and tenderly as it began: "You
who are weary, come home." Lush, meaningful, and beautiful at every turn.
Highly recommended!

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.

Alive in Christ!

writing. The text focuses on the listener's need for Christ with words of
assurance. Ranges are conservative and ensure success for ensembles of any

All My Trials
arr. Gwyneth Walker.
A very poignant song. Phrases such as "Hush little baby, don't you cry, you
know your mama was born to die," or "Oh my brothers, I must leave you
here behind," view the approach of death in terms of those left behind. The
accompaniment of repeated eighth-note chords is marked as if trembling
or sobbing. Although the harmonic language is tonal and consonant almost
entirely throughout the song, a few dissonances appear near the end, reflecting
the pain of parting.

At Calvary
Mark Hall, William Newell & Daniel Towner/arr. Thomas Grassi.
With lyrics culled from the traditional hymn of the same name and a fresh new
melody, Thomas Grassi adds life to an old, much-loved favorite. The singable
arrangement lends itself perfectly to the choral application in an easy acoustic
feel. Perfect for the blended or contemporary worship service, this hymn
reminds us of the mercy and grace offered to us through Calvary!

Be Filled with the Spirit
Allen Pote.
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts as you were called to peace..."
This flowing anthem, based on a verse from Colossians, implores your congrega-
tion to "clothe yourselves with compassion... with kindness and humility."

Be the Light of Christ
Wes Cameron.
This thought-provoking anthem stems from the verse "every generous act
of giving... is from above," and poses the question "will you give help to the
needy... will you clothe and give them food?" Beginning with two vocal parts
and concluding with SATB texture, the writing is very accessible and the
message is ideal for mission and stewardship Sundays.

The Beginning of Love
Greg Gilpin.
Selected quotes of Mother Teresa are woven together to create a stunning lyric
of love and compassion. With melody and harmony weaving above a flowing
piano accompaniment and optional violin, the new SATB and SAB voicings
also contain a short narrative at the beginning and the end focusing on Mother
Teresa. This is an extremely moving work for choirs at all levels!
