From the composer: Written as a statement of support for, and allyship with, our Black brothers and sisters (as well as all people of color). Too often, in any aspect of life, we explain away other people’s experiences instead of seeking to understand experiences that differ from our own; we’re so busy talking about our own viewpoints that we fail to listen to the voices we most need to hear. I asked Tony Silvestri to write a text that could function as a personal statement from me to people I need to listen to—especially to my friends of color. This the text that resulted—words that speak powerfully for any situation where we need to listen to those who have been marginalized or mistreated, not heard or believed. For SATB or SSAA choir with piano and optional guitar.

Kyle Pederson's simple yet heartfelt new melody for this traditional Irish blessing will resonate with your choir as well as your audience. Additional text by the composer adds depth to the already-lovely text: May you know grace and mercy; may you serve as you've been served; may you forgive as you've been forgiven, may you love as you've been loved. An optional guitar (or harp/synth) part provides atmosphere and a wistful, enchanting quality to the SATB and piano parts. .

This anthem setting of the tune TODOS LOS COLORES from the recent Presbyterian hymnal has a decidedly Latin-American feel, especially with the optional inclusion of guitar, flute, shaker, and claves. The bold text acknowledges that we are divided by hate when we judge each other on our differences, but calls us to remember that we are made in God's image and that we must learn the language of love. Very accessible writing for SATB, and the composer gives instructions for performance by SAB, Two-Part Mixed, SA, or Unison Choirs. Guitar plays from choir score. Duration: 4:00.

The depth and breadth of each tale blooms forth, enticing us into a personal relationship with these familiar biblical figures.

An ethereal gentleness starts this piece that briefly recounts the story of the shepherds and the Magi. Choral writing with a dream-like quality supports the soloist. This is a great choice for that singer in your choir who can maintain a beautiful line, but perhaps does not possess a large range—optional notes are indicated at the end, when the melody may go a bit high for some. For cantor or soloist. 2 octaves Handbells or Handchimes.

This trilingual arrangement was envisioned for use during the Preparation of the Gifts at the Evening Mass of Holy Thursday. It would also be useful throughout the liturgical year whenever themes of love, charity, and service feature prominently in the Lectionary, as well as at wedding and anniversary liturgies.The choral parts underneath the verse and the optional parts for C instrument and cello help add color and variety. However, the hymn could be led by cantor and piano alone. When used during the Preparation of the Gifts, the optional coda allows flexibility to tailor the music to the length of the rite.

A versatile Mass setting for use throughout the liturgical year, Mass of the Sun of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia is fully bilingual, singable entirely in English or in Spanish, or any pastoral combination of both languages. At its core, this setting is built on assembly-minded melodies. Much of the choral writing is two-part, albeit spelled out in four voices, whereby the basses frequently double the soprano melody, and the alto and tenor lines essentially share a single harmony in their respective ranges, splitting only at cadence points for a fuller effect. Optional descants and divisi further expand the voicing possibilities. The additional instrumentation is particularly spirited, further enhancing these sung texts for solemn occasions. “Sun of justice” is a term used to reference Christ with respect to his second coming, as found in the ancient “O” antiphons. This title appears in the Lectionary among the Alleluia options for the common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is, in fact, assigned to the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, celebrated within the Advent season. As such, the music is “Advent-like” in nature—joyful and filled with hope.  ~~~~~ Una Misa versátil para usar durante todo el año litúrgico, Mass of the Son of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia es completamente bilingüe, se puede cantar completamente en inglés o en español, o en cualquier combinación pastoral de ambos idiomas. En esencia, este arreglo se basa en melodías para la asamblea. Gran parte de la escritura coral es de dos partes, aunque escrito para cuatro voces, por lo que los bajos con frecuencia duplican la melodía de soprano, y las líneas de alto y tenor comparten esencialmente una sola armonía en sus respectivos rangos, dividiéndose solo en los puntos de cadencia para una melodía más completa. Los discante y divisi opcionales amplían aún más las posibilidades de sonorización. La instrumentación adicional es particularmente animada, mejorando aún más estos textos cantados para ocasiones solemnes. Sol de justicia es un término que se usa para referirse a Cristo con respecto a su segunda venida, como se encuentra en las antífonas O antiguas. Este título aparece en el Leccionario entre las opciones de Aleluya para el común de la Santísima Virgen María y, de hecho, está asignado a la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, celebrada dentro del tiempo de Adviento. Como tal, la música es en esencia de adviento—alegre y llena de esperanza. ~~~~~ Preview select songs from this mass setting in the video below:.

UPC: 785147937203. English. Text by Adam M. L. Tice.

This accessible anthem, in the words of the composer, offers the Christian community “a strong and lyric expression of the way in which Christians are called to make their lives a song of praise and gratitude.” The ecumenical text by Adam Tice is appropriate for worship and other gatherings. This work is intended as a choral anthem, but the melody can easily be sung by an assembly as a hymn.
