This stately pulsating quarter notes in the accompaniment establish a solemn framework for this well crafted and memorable setting from John 1:Here is the Lamb, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. A consideration for Lent, it is also highly appropriate in celebrating the Baptism of our Lord, Pentecost, or any number of general service themes. A good balance of unison, 2-part and SATB writing will enhance the viability of this anthem for choirs large and small.

This latest cantata collaboration by Mark Hayes and John Parker is an innovative presentation of the beloved Christmas story. The inspired music covers the dynamic spectrum from poignant and introspective prayers for God's mercy to angelic proclamations of God's majesty and glory. It is a unique blend of new Christmas anthems with favorite yuletide carols. The distinctive use of familiar Latin phrases in each selection serves as a common thread throughout the work and capitalizes on a current trend in many churches-reaching back to embrace ancient worship. The allusion to aspects of nature in each anthem underscores the overall theme and uniquely highlights the familiar progression of the Christmas story which includes the angels, shepherds, Mary and the Wise Men. The optional inclusion of congregation on familiar carols along with Audra Parker's fresh narration makes this a joyous Christmas worship experience for choir and congregation alike!

Set in a festive Baroque style, the anthem is a refreshing presentation of the angelic proclamation of Christ's birth. The contrasting middle section is a chorale-like setting of the text Peace on earth, good will from heaven before returning to the opening melody.

A joyous and powerful musical statement, this anthem could serve well as the cornerstone for any setting celebrating music as a gift from God. The blend of a fabulous Charles Wesley text with the musician's Psalm (Psalm 150), results in a festive declaration of praise.

This is a creative worship experience built around prayers (both sung and spoken) for our world's leaders as well as elusive goals such as peace, the end of terrorism and racism, and prayers for the needy in our world. It is global rather than nationalistic in scope and is distinctively Christian in nature, with prayers that the church may take the lead in responding to a world in need. It is an appropriate consideration for a missions or global focus, any national or patriotic thrust, as well as any general observance where an inspirational worship experience is desired.

From the beginning, God's plan included living the life of faith and worshiping in the context of community. The covenant made with Abraham was for him and his people. The story of faith passed down through the generations of Israel's history is the story of a nation of people. On the night before Jesus was crucified, our Lord prayed that His disciples and all who would follow would be one in their faith. First-century Christians were nurtured in communities of faith. At times, the church has failed in its commitment to present a united message to a divided world. But the challenge still remains and the goal still stands before us. This dynamic and brief work is a celebration of the church. Conceived as worship experience with choir and two narrators, it is a call to renew the challenge and fulfill the prayer of our Lord that God's people might be one so that the world will know of Jesus and His love.
