A sweeping theme forms the basis of this inspirational paean of praise. The text is a series of descriptions declaring the divine attributes of God. As majestic as its noble thematic gesture, the music grows gradually until a magnificent final exclamation displays with confidence the phrase God of glory. An orchestral-like piano part builds a solid sonority as triplets drive the anthem forward with vigor and unrelenting confidence.

Short motet commissioned by St DominicÂ’s Sixth Form College, Harrow-on-the-Hill, UK, to celebrate its 40th anniversary. MacMillan chose a text which is entirely appropriate to young people about to be let loose on the world to fulfil their potential: 'Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire'. But where another composer might have made this a fanfare MacMillan writes with the gentleness of sincerity. The music is very straightforward and in wanting a solo soprano line he outlines all the ways this can be achieved: soloist, group of sopranos, or all the sopranos if the altos can be split into two. The choir repeats the mantra text above throughout the motet, while the soprano solo line is given the prayer which follows. Only at the very end do they all join together in the words 'Jesus, love, Jesus, love' with a lovely E major ending.

The cantata Nun danket alle Gott (Now thank we all our God) BWV 192 is based on the text of the well-known hymn. It is therefore one of a small number of chorale cantatas which contain no free poetic texts. Correspondingly, there are no recitatives either. It has only recently been assumed that this three-movement work was not intended for Leipzig, but was actually written in 1730 for Bach's prestigious position as Kapellmeister of Saxe-Weissenfels. The court of Duke Christian enjoyed the its sojourn in the newly-renovated castle of its secondary residence in Sangerhausen and, at Trinity, in the court church, celebrated the anniversary of its consecration with festive music. Bach evidently occasionally contributed to this. The work does not survive complete. Even in the 18th century a full score evidently no longer existed, just a set of parts, the tenor part of which is entirely missing. For the new edition the missing part has been reconstructed by Detlev Schulten (Leipzig). Score and part available separately - see item CA.3119200.

This hymn-anthem tells the astounding story of the God who is revered by all of creation- earth, sea, and sky- choosing Mary to be the mother of the Savior. The mixed meters employed for the 6th-century poetry are anything but jarring, and the middle stanza is set to different music with a medieval feel that accentuates the repetition of the word blest to describe Mary's destiny. A delightful but substantial anthem useful for Marian feasts as well as Christmastide. The keyboard part works well on both organ and piano. Congregational participation is welcome but not required; reprint material is included.

Nick Strimple has composed a set of three easy anthems, and lacking in difficulty is absolutely true. But elegant and distinguished also describes these settings of familiar texts. The words by 19th century English poet John Bowring is the least known text, but it is timeless and speaks of God's enduring love. The organ accompaniment contains scrumptious suspensions and resolutions for an anthem that works equally well as a choral piece, a solo, or for unison choir.

An original poetic and prayerful text is set to a simple, hymn-like melody in this piece, which focuses on the unbounded grace of God. Written in a straightforward four-part style, with verses and chorus, the SATB choral is easy to sing, but certainly full in sound. Incorporating an a cappella tag from the chorus of Grace Greater Than Our Sin, by Julia H. Johnson and Daniel B. Townes, this anthem is an expert combination of contemporary sound and traditional church literature. Perfect for any service of worship and easily learned, this is a beautiful addition to the church music repertoire.
