God's people are called to sing. His song has been written on our hearts, and we must give voice to what He has written there. And there may be nothing quite so powerful as a men's chorus joining strong voices together in songs of honor and praise to their God and King!

The new men's choir book from WORD Music, 1st CORINTHIANS 16:13, is designed to help the men of God in your church and community do just that...come together to sing praise to the Lord, to sing for joy, to sing to Him a new song, to declare His might and power. Featuring 7 new arrangements from best-selling arrangers Russell Mauldin, Cliff Duren, Lari Goss and Marty Hamby, 1st CORINTHIANS 16:13 is a must-have, new book for your music library. All men of God have a song to sing; now they have an excellent, new resource to help them bring that song to life and declare their allegiance to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Ask the men in your Cchurch to sing; challenge and encourage them to sing. And if all else fails, then inspire them to sing, using the words of this magestic old hymn, Rise Up O Men of God, written by William P. Merrill in 1911. The text reads:

Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things. Give heart and soul and mind and strength to serve the King of Kings. Rise up, O men of God, in one united throng. Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong. Rise up, O men of God! The church for you doth wait, Her strength unequal to her task; rise up, and make her great! Rise up, O men of God! Tread where his feet have trod. As brothers of the Son of Man, rise up, O men of God! ...Rise up, men of God, and sing!

Glorious Hill may be performed by a male choir.Text by Pico della Mirandola (1463-1497) from De Hominis Dignitate.Glorious Hill was commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and first performed by them at its summer Festival of Voices in Lewes, Sussex, in August 1988. It was the first piece I wrote for the ensemble and I focused on the singers' unique ability to move with ease from early music to tonal music of the present day. There were techniques which I asked for which I hardly needed to notate - the staggered breathing of the two tenors to supply a continuous unbroken held note for example - and the piece moves between passages for solo voices and sections of highly chromatic homophony, almost as if the music were switching between the 12th century of Perotin and the 16th century of Gesualdo. Each of the four voices is given its own solo passage, sometimes accompanied, sometimes quietly supported by the other voices.The title, Glorious Hill comes from the name of the small-town Mississippi setting of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. I wrote the music for the 1987 production of this play at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, the first time I had written any incidental music for the stage. Williams makes very specific demands in terms of music and there is one particularly powerful scene, the penultimate one, throughout which music and atmospheric sound effects are continuous. The principle character Alma argues passionately about the vital importance of human choice with the man to whom she has, too late, admitted her love. I watched this section every night throughout the 4 week run of the play watching the different ways in which the actress, Frances Barber, played the scene. There is a powerful emotional and philosophical connection between the imagery of this scene and a passage from the Renaissance philosopher Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man which forms the text of Glorious Hill. This passage has been described as one of the few passages in Renaissance philosophy to treat human freedom in a modern way. The text, which is sung in Latin, is addressed by God to Adam before the fall from grace.Gavin Bryars.
