l Faith, Hope, and Love (A Choral Triptych)
Mark Hayes. Inspired by a familiar scripture
passage, this work is written for two choirs (SSA
and SATB) in three movements, each exploring a
different theme. This Is Faith begins with a treble
solo but quickly grows into soaring passages
sung by both choirs. While I Breathe, I Hope is an
energetic and rhythmic contrast to the first piece,
full of syncopation and joyous lyrics communicating
a message of hope. Love Conquers All is set in a
dance-like 6/8 meter and celebrates the beauty
of creation and the love that binds us all together.
The work may be performed in its entirety or as
individual pieces. Perfect for concerts, festivals or
worship services.

n GloriaBob Chilcott. This four-movement setting of
the Gloria will be welcomed by choirs looking for an
uplifting and jubilant concert work. This driving Gloria
in excelsis Deo features syncopated rhythms and an
upper-voice semi-chorus part in the Et in terra pax
section, which can be taken from the main choir.
The tender yet majestic Domine Deus leads into the
lyrical Qui tollis peccata mundi, with interweaving
melodic lines that express the solemnity of the text.
Finally, the dancing Quonium tu solus sanctus keeps
singers on their toes with its upbeat tempo and lively
cross-rhythms, culminating in exultant "Amens" for
a suitably exhilarating ending.

n Jubilate DeoDan Forrest. This major work
is a seven-movement setting of Psalm 100,
predominantly in Latin. Inserted within the work
are interjections of the text "Shout to the Lord,
all ye lands!" in eight different languages. The
work may be performed entirely by an SATB
choir, or some or all of the treble choir options
in the treble part may be used along with the
SATB choir. Part-dominant rehearsal videos
and pronunciation guides for the languages are
available for free on the composer's website.
There are three different orchestrations of the
work available, ranging from a large orchestration
to a nine-instrument chamber version. This piece
was commissioned by the Indianapolis Children's
Chorus to honor its distinguished conductor of
30 years, Henry Leck. Seen by the composer as
a partner composition to his "Requiem for the
Living," Jubilate Deo is a great addition to the
repertoire. Highly recommended!

H Lux AeternaMorten Lauridsen. When this
magnificent choral work made its debut in
1997, it was immediately recorded by the Los
Angeles Master Chorale and received a Grammy
nomination. Since then, it has earned a place in
the choral repertoire as one of the most significant
musical statements of the 20th century. The
a cappella movement O Nata Lux is a pristine
example of Lauridsen's compositional style,
and the combined effect of Lauridsen's soaring
melodies and clustered harmonic textures is truly
ethereal. A work of uncompromising beauty for the
accomplished choir.

n MagnificatKim Andre Arnesen. This setting of
the Magnificat was conceived by the composer as
a prayer for the sick and the poor, and out of hope
for those who struggle. This philosophy grows out of
the fact that Mary herself was poor and of humble
means. This seven-movement work unfolds with that
sense of awe and wonder. The forces needed are
SSA choir, soprano soloist, strings, piano, and organ.
The score is included with the instrumental parts.
