GloriaCraig Courtney. Craig Courtney's setting
of the traditional Latin text is reminiscent of Randall
Thompson: a brief choral work on the "Gloria" text,
a cappella, with an effervescent joy, occasional
meter shifts and the change in mood on "et in
terra pax." Small percussion instruments add just a
touch of sparkle and occasional divisi give richness
and color at just the appropriate times. Suitable
for Christmas concerts and church services,
festival appearances, as a concert opener or
service prelude, this promises to be one of Craig's
most enduring works and we offer it to singers
everywhere with our highest recommendation.

God of the DeepDan Forrest. With a beautiful
and reflective text by Eileen Berry, composer Dan
Forrest paints a musical portrait with a rich palette
of colors. This piece considers how the unknown
vastness of the sea is like the unknown expanse
of God's mind, and that sometimes our struggles
may lead us to ask why events happen as they do.
"When simple explanations lie too deep for me to
find, I rest in God who holds the whole creation in
His mind." An exceptional piece for meditation,
memorials, or any time of the year.

The Gospel ShipGwyneth Walker. A new
arrangement of a traditional spiritual. The character
of this version is shaped by the lyrics, "I'm gonna
shout and sing, until the heavens ring..." The
Gospel Ship (i.e. a vessel of music) transports the
singers above earthly troubles, on up to heaven.
Music has the power to overcome daily challenges.
The burden is lightened, and the weary road is
shortened. Thus, the climax of this work comes
with the lyrics, "your journey won't be long if you
live a life of song."
