Contemporary hymn by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend Keith Getty and Stuart Townend's contemporary hymn gets a stunning new choral treatment from arranger, Lloyd Larson, just in time for the Easter season. This theologically driven anthem builds from the simple affirmation, "In Christ alone my hope is found; he is my light, my strength, my song," then traces the birth, death and crowning glory of the resurrected Lord, who "bursting forth in glorious day, up from the grave rose again," culminating with the final return of Christ. The hint of "The Solid Rock" that Lloyd drops in at the end is a perfect coda to this powerful presentation. The addition of brass and percussion heightens the dramatic impact and sets this arrangement apart from all the rest. The Brass packet contains a Conductor's Score and parts for: 2 B-flat Trumpets, Trombone, Horn, Tuba, Percussion and Timpani.

Without argument, Serge Leone's "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" is the most famous spaghetti western of all time and Ennio Morricone's film score was a major contributor in helping this film gain it's monumental status. The main theme is instantly recognizable from moment the opening flute motif is heard to it's "wah, wah, wah" response.

The music of the film's main theme has been arranged for a cappella SATB choir plus featured soloists. It also includes the duelling trumpet/piccolo segment which is omitted from most transcriptions. With the voices imitating flute sounds, ocarina, whistling, trumpet, mimicked gun-shots and more this arrangement creates a fun and infectious piece of music.

Original Anthem Especially meaningful during the days of Holy Week, this Christopher Idle text relates to our Lord praying in the garden of Gethsemane, and weaves around the 'tree' theme found in many Scriptures about the cross. Lloyd Larson's original accompaniment for piano, plus the optional flute, oboe, French horn and cello perfectly capture the somber mood. This top-seller is now available in SATB, SAB, Two-Part Mixed voicings and a new Medium Voice Solo. The SATB version appears in Lloyd's blockbuster Lenten musical, "The Shadow of the Cross," newly re-voiced for SAB choirs.

When Michael and I discussed my SATB arrangement of his beautiful setting of the "Ave Maria," he wanted to preserve a semblance of the original soprano solo. When I arranged the "Ave Maria" I had in mind this working for the average church choir. I had the choir I direct at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Everett, Washington try to visualize dancing as a little child with the Blessed Virgin Mary, which I demonstrated for them by dancing a slow hesitation waltz as a little child might dance with their mother, or in this case with Mary, our mother. We decided to combine his suggestion of having one soloist sing the first verse a cappella and a second one of the opposite sex sing the second verse and the choir coming in at the "Sancta Maria" with the option of the choir singing this arrangement as it is written. To make this work for my choir, I set the meter at 3/4 time throughout and lowered the key signature from a-minor to g-minor. I have used this many times in the liturgy as a choir solo, especially during the month of May which is traditionally the month of Mary. It is also very suitable for choir and school concert venues.

This anthem is arranged for female soloist, SATB choir, piano & optional worship band. The lyrics direct us to consider the way-making, miracle-working, promise-keeping, light-giving God who continues to provide exactly what we need each day even when we may not see it. We worship Him and Him alone!

Anthem for SATB (with baritone soloist or semi-chorus) and organ or orchestra. Also in Anthems for Choirs 1. Orchestral material is available on hire.

This is an easy country western style Christmas carol with soprano and baritone solo and a backup SATB choir. This would be great, not only for church choir use at Christmas, but also as a "knockout" Christmas concert piece for school and civic chorus programs. The song begins: "In Bethlehem town on a cold winter's night, Mary the Virgin, gave birth to the Light. And when she beheld her Son's tiny face, Mary, his mother, cried out filled with grace: 'Jesus, my Savior is born. God's little Boy is come among us. Oh hark! How the Heavenly angels sing.'"

This carol works well for smaller church choirs with a soprano and baritone solo. It is also a nice addition to school and other choral groups for Christmas concerts. Piano accompaniment is sufficient. However, other instruments can be added at director's discretion.

Lyrics: "...and gently fell the snow upon the shed where Mary and the babe were lay down."
