4 Abide—Dan Forrest. Dan Forrest's SATB divisi
setting of a poem by the late Jake Adam York
is simply stunning! Both the poet and composer
were inspired by the old hymn Abide with Me and
elements of that tune can be found throughout the
composition, though the poem remains secular.
The music is homophonic in nature and leaves the
listener with a sense of, to quote the composer,
"the warmth of a summer's evening." The piano
part plays a vital role in the coloring of the piece
and seamlessly connects the choral entrances.
Abide is a rare and beautiful piece of art; we give
it our highest recommendation!

4 Agnus Dei (Requiem)—Jay Althouse. This
setting of the traditional Agnus Dei Latin text
from the Requiem Mass was specifically written
to honor the memory of the numerous victims
of the senseless mass shooting tragedies of the
summer of 2016. With a very open harmonic
texture, almost a cappella with its minimalist piano
accompaniment, this setting weaves between
consonance and dissonance with simple contrary
vocal lines over an insistent single note that tolls
in the piano until all voices combine in meditative,
somber harmony. This piece will evoke a reflective
moment in your concert or worship setting. A
pronunciation guide and translation are given for
the Latin text.

choice for middle schools. A stunning work for
emerging choirs. Highly recommended!

this accessible piece. A lyrical, expressive middle
section sets up a beautiful contrast which resolves

present a festive concert work for young choirs!
Highly recommended!
