In 1988, GIA released Michael Joncas’s No Greater Love, a flexible mass setting offering cathedral-style music that was accessible to the singing assembly. Beautiful melodies enhanced by SATB choir and extensive orchestrations were the hallmark of this best-selling work. Now, Michael Joncas has revised this treasured setting using the 2010 Revised Order of Mass. The revision has a new through-composed Gloria that can be sung in unison during the Sundays of Ordinary Time, and for more festive occasions, one can add the optional instrumental and SATB choral parts. Also new to this setting are the gospel acclamation and a sung setting of the prayer of the faithful. The memorable congregational parts for the Kyrie and the Agnus Dei haven’t changed and the much-loved Holy, Holy has been adapted to accommodate the 2010 Revised Order of Mass text. The optional orchestration is now reduced and includes string quartet, flute, and oboe parts.

UPC: 688670520150. English. Isaiah 40:21-31.

Composer Terre Johnson sets an adaptation of Isaiah 40:21 in the first person, so it appears as if God is speaking through the choir in this anthem of reassurance. The violin and clarinet sometimes support and sometimes soar above the choir. Easy unison writing makes this a useful and satisfying offering, especially appropriate for the Fifth Sunday after Epiphany, Year B. Duration: 3:00.
