An easy but striking congregational hymn setting of the tune RUSTINGTON to a text by Shirley Erena Murray. Stanzas one and three are in unison (three with descanting ahs). Stanza two invites the choir and even the congregation to sing in four parts! This can be as streamlined as you need it to be, but can also expand by use of the optional Brass Quintet, Handbells, Timpani, and Crash Cymbals.

SKU: PL.0212

Composed by Joel Martinson. Cathedral. Choral, Easter. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0212. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0212).

This is an unusual yet remarkably moving new anthem for Easter. Joel Martinson has taken a contemporary poem by John Thornburg that expresses all the anguish as well as hope of the three women at the tomb. The muted brass quintet creates a mournful sound as the women express their loss and pain. As the women realize that the unthinkable has happened the music builds into an inexorable crescendo of praise and hope and the piece ends on an exuberant Alleluia. The vocal parts while wide in scope are most satisfying to sing and the instrumental parts are written imaginatively so as to express the poetic text. This will most welcome as a major addition to the literature for Easter morning.

In honor of the 200th anniversary of St. Rose Philippine Duschene’s arrival in New Orleans, Michael Joncas was commissioned to write a new mass setting by the Religious of the Sacred Heart. This edition is scored for SATB voices and features instrumental parts for complete symphony orchestra. Parts may be used according to the players available in your circumstance.  The mass includes optional phrases in French and Potawatomi honoring the American saint’s heritage and ministry. The mass may be sung in unison, reserving the choral and instrumental parts for holy days. While some contemporary musical settings of the “Glory to God” seem burdensome and even awkward, Joncas’s melody is absolutely delightful. The singable through-composed Gloria boasts a magnificent and manageable modulation that contributes to the triumphant nature of the piece.
