Following the well-received first volume of Colours, Chris de Silva offers another installment in this popular collection of programmatic pieces, with original composition material as well as arrangements of hymn tunes and contemporary classics. The intended expressive, reflective qualities of many of the settings, including “Wondrous” and “Benediction,” are palpable, although ample consideration is provided for rhythmic, energetic moods as well—such as in “Triumph” or “Manna”! Performer and listener alike will be captivated by the creativity with which de Silva weaves melodic material throughout the music, with fresh harmonic tones and rhythmic treatment. The end result is truly a rich palette of colors! CONTENTS: Companion • Wondrous (WONDROUS LOVE) • Triumph (O FILII ET FILIAE) • Prospect • Search (DANDANSOY) • Rejoice (HYFRYDOL) • Manna (HOLY MANNA) • Hope (SLANE) • Grace (AVE MARIA) • Emmanuel (VENI EMMANUEL) • Benediction (PANGE LINGUA GLORIOSI).    .

This much loved text, set to the tune PICARDY, is skillfully arranged for voices, organ, and handbells by Oklahoma composer LIsa Stafford. The stark organ texture in the opening verse sets the plaintive mood and provides a foundation for the melody line as the handbells ring softly above. Verses 2 and 3 emphasize a four-part choral structure, the latter stanza written for voices alone and employing a cunning use of contrary motion between SA and TB. An organ interlude initiates a running eighth-note figure that segues into and continues through the final verse as all forces unite.

Classic hymn by John Chisum & Gary Sadler This prayerful reflection on God's love and grace. Ideal for any service with the theme of confession and forgiveness. Jane Holstein's sensitive setting is beautiful with just piano accompaniment. However, for a more contemporary sound, the optional rhythm underscores the prayerful mood with a delicate guitar line.
