Johannes Brahms, born May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany and died April 3, 1897 in Vienna where he lived most of his life. Brahms is one of the most famous composers of the Romantic period (1830-1920) although his music has many elements of the Classical period (1750 to 1830) as he followed many of the practices of Classical composers Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. In addition to being a composer, he was also well-known as a pianist and conductor. Brahms began writing the Requiem (also known as the German Requiem, Opus 45) soon after his mother died in February 1865 which caused him great grief. In April of that year, he completed the first, second and fourth movements and completed the rest of the seven movements in May of 1868. How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place (Wie Lieblich sind Deine Wohnungen) was the fourth movement of his seven movement work.   Originally written for SATB voices in E-flat major, this seamlessly similar arrangement for SAB voices, now in C major, affords all voices comfortable ranges. Although, it is approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds in length, it is perceived to be much shorter because of the contrasting stylistic sections within the work. How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place is one of the most beautiful choral pieces by Brahms, perhaps in the entire Romantic period.   Although Brahms wrote the original piano reduction, in this edition, it has been made more accessible for pianists with a wide range of skills. Pay close attention to the dynamic markings throughout the piece, making them apparent to the voices, conductor, and audience. I hope you enjoy singing this beautiful and timeless piece by Johannes Brahms! Russell Robinson, Arranger        .

The Scrutinies occur on the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent, when the Elect are called before the community for exorcism and prayer. The simple Kyrie (with a spoken Confiteor) could be used as the Penitential Rite for the entire Lenten season, whether or not the Intercessions are used. The melody is the same for the Kyrie-Christe- Kyrie, but the accompaniment is varied and the choral parts unfold from unison to two-part mixed to SAB.

Original Anthem This energetic introit for Palm Sunday comes from Wes Cameron and begins with unison voices singing Hosanna to the Son of David! The melody then builds and is split into two parts, and then expands to SATB. The optional 8 handbells provide an added element of joyous praise to this festive worship opener proclaiming, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
