4 All My Trialsarr. 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.

Ht All That Hath Life and Breath Praise Ye the
Lord!Rene Clausen. An animated, lilting, and

Almighty in a fresh and innovative way. It is a truly
impressive work for mature choirs.

encouraging anthem that will work well throughout
the entire year.

All Things NewCraig Courtney. This achingly
beautiful choral work centers on the garden of
Gethsemane as the turning point for the Divine
promise in Revelation 21, where the Almighty
declares "I have made all things new." Christ's
thoughts of his impending agony are contrasted
with angelic "Alleluia's" that are tinged with sorrow,
but become more truimphant with the foresight that
the hours ahead signify the beginnings of a new
heaven and a new earth. Deeply moving, artistically
rendered music.
10489686 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
AlleluiaAndrew Miller. This effective a cappella
original builds from a single line and blossoms into
exquisite 4-part writing. Rehearsal cue notes are
shown for the accompanist, but the easily learned
choral lines make it quite accessible to all choirs. It
is appropriate for both worship and festival use.
10305875 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
Ht AlleluiaRalph Manuel. With the text comprising
the single word "Alleluia," this quiet, reverent a
cappella work continues to be a strong seller in
its original SATB voicing. Now available for male
voices, this is an excellent choice for both school
contest-oriented use and church services!
1629831 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90
t AlleluiaMark Repasky. Beautifully interwoven
choral lines, all derived from the single ancient
Greek word of praise ("Alleluia"), create a stunning
tapestry of wonderfully warm harmonies. Written for
SATB divisi voices a cappella, this heavenly choral is
suitable for both concert and worship use.
10366266 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10

for a cappella chorus. The name Randall Thompson
is as much a part of choral music as is the voice.
His masterful compositions are all standards in the
repertoire. A choral classic!

Alleluia! Praise with Glad MusicJoseph M.
Martin. Joyful with a strong message of worship
and praise, this festive choral will enliven any
sacred gathering. The syncopated opening theme
is joined with contrasting lyric sections giving variety

purpose with this highly recommended anthem!

H Amazing Gracearr. Jack Schrader. Absolutely
inspired! Jack's perspective on this beloved melody
is to use a slow, gospel style. The authentic piano
accompaniment has all the piano licks you could
possibly want, and supports the arrangement just as
well as the marvelous orchestral track. In a creative
twist, the last verse features the instruments on the
melody as the choir acts as "back-up singers" to
the piano. Part of our American heritage, Amazing
Grace is a hymn everyone knows, and this
arrangement adds a richness to the melody that
you simply must hear to appreciate.

H
Amazing Grace/Pachelbel's Canonarr. Jean
Anne Shafferman. Here is a marvelous pairing
of Amazing Grace with the beloved baroque
classic, Pachelbel's Canon! The baroque canon
accompanies as the voices sing Amazing Grace in
4/4. Opening with unison voices, it flows easily to
rich part writing, closing in inventive counterpoint
with the canon bass line, the Amazing Grace
melody, and a soaring soprano descant "Alleluia."
Inventive and very creative!

arr. Mark Hayes. Mark Hayes has combined a
beautiful contemporary song with the time honored

two-part and SATB writing, making this blended
arrangement attainable by any size and level choir.

Wagner. Douglas Wagner's ring-and-sing
setting of Martin Nystrom's contemporary classic
based on Psalm 42 has become a classic. This
beautiful ballad is now available in a new two-part

& Phill McHugh/arr. Tom Fettke & 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!

lt Ask, and It Shall Be GivenJonathan Adams.
Here is a sensitive, touching a cappella setting of a
text from Matthew. "Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find..." This is brief, consisting of
only one verse on two pages of music, so it will be
easy for the average choir to master.

Ave MariaGiulio Caccini/arr. Liebergen. This
haunting melody from the Italian Renaissance has
been recorded most recently by Charlotte Church
and Andrea Bocelli. Patrick Liebergen's setting
features straightforward vocal lines, a supportive
piano accompaniment, and an optional flute part
that is never overstated, but lets the enchanting
melody and harmonies speak for themselves.
Expressive and beautiful at every turn, this is a
glorious addition to sacred choral literature!

H Be Not AfraidCraig Courtney. Commissioned
by a church in Sioux City, Iowa, which was forced
to relocate due to flooding, this lyrical anthem
speaks of God's presence with us in times of
hardship and of His infinite mercy. A wonderful
musical expression of comfort and courage for
confirmation, child baptism or dedication, or any
time you wish to convey the love of God through
Isaiah's words of redemption: "You are precious
in My sight." The opening statement can be
sung by sopranos or solo voice, but is especially
appropriate for children's voices.

in time of need. Richly scored for voices and piano,
this is a superb choice for moments of prayer,
memorials, and commissioning services that will
leave your congregation breathless.
