Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated was written by hymnist, Frances Ridley Havergal, daughter of the well-known English hymnist William Havergal. Francis wrote that it was on occasion of visiting the home of a friend that the hymn was composed. It seems there were ten persons in the home that she was visiting, some converted and some still unconverted. She prayed, 'Lord, give me all in this house!' At the end of her visit, all were converted. It was then that she penned the hymn that ends with 'Ever only, all for Thee!' Multiple voicings, instrumental parts and a beautiful fully-orchestrated accompaniment track are available. / Choeur

The vocal score of Choral Symphony by Australian composer Carl Vine. Scored for SATB choir organ and orchestra Carl Vine’s Choral Symphonysets four ancient hymns in exotic languages that have not been spoken for thousands of years: ‘Enuma Elish’ an Akkadian creation myth describing the creation of the world from primeval chaos and three Homeric Hymns  to the Earth the Moon and the Sun (in Greek 'Epic Dialect'). The vocal writing in this 26-minute symphony (Vine’s sixth) is homophonic throughout reflecting the composer’s wish for the workto ‘revel in the power of the human community’.
