An authentic celebration of the holiday. This arrangement of the traditional Hanukkah song allows you to choose between the original Hebrew text and a poetic text in English. Lyrical verses focus on lighting the candles, and the dance-like refrain grows even more joyful when embellished with a soaring upper harmony near the end.

Sara Teasdale's poignant commentary on the challenges and rewards of love is the foundation of this sensitive choral setting. Strong homophonic writing puts a focus on the words, while scattered harmonic suspensions and gentle ebbs and flows of tempo invite a deep understanding of the text. These are the gifts of love.

In recent years, our addiction to our devices has negatively impacted our ability to focus and to connect with each other. The first part of â??Awakenâ? explores the dangers associated with overuse of these devices. It includes knocking sounds symbolizing our needed wake-up calls, along with optional staging suggestions using illuminated devices on stage or pantomime. The second part of the piece offers solutions, including experiencing nature, finding our passions, and connecting with each other. It ends with a powerful statement to â??make a difference and share the light in you.â? This piece makes a powerful statement while bringing to light an important issue of our time.

UPC: 785147809807. English. Text Source: ",Come and find the quiet center". Text by Shirley Erena Murray.
While not a highly liturgical text, this song can find great resonance for all who long for a simpler life that focuses on the presence of the Spirit, uncluttered by too many words and ceaseless activity. The words challenge us to make space for God and, in so doing, make space for others—a space where the creative Spirit of God may act. The choral writing moves from unison to 4-part textures with ample opportunity for solo voices.

UPC: 785147601302. English. Text Source: 2 Corinthians 5:20. Text by Shirley Erena Murray. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:20.
The text speaks of discipleship and would be a great choice for events focusing on social justice, for a commissioning/sending anthem, or even as part of a healing and reconciliation service. The question of the final phrase (“Shall we now refuse God's call?â€) is reflected in the unsteadiness of the musical line, which seems to say, “It's up to each of us to do our part.â€.
