O the Depth of the Riches was composed for Trinity Sunday. The focus of the composition is on the words (from the King James version) and the inherent drama contained in each phrase. Further, it was composed with only 4 parts, non-divisi in mind.

UPC: 785147047360. Latin, English. Text Source: Traditional Latin Requiem. Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri.

Requiem Novum, an evocative musical work from Swedish composer Mårten Jansson, weaves drama, emotion, and exquisite compositional technique info a masterpiece for our time. The choir (singing the traditional Latin texts) represents the mourning and God-fearing congregation, while the soloist (singing new English texts by Charles Anthony Silvestri) answers as one beyond the veil, sending back words of comfort and hope. Highly melodic and incredibly moving, Jansson's new setting of the Latin Requiem offers a new perspective on grief and loss. Available here for choir, organ, percussion, and soloist, but also available for choir and full orchestra (WW1941A).

ISBN 9790007181192. Language: German/English. Text: Rube, Johann Chr.

Bach's chorale cantata with its opening text Wohl dem, der sich auf seinen Gott recht kindlich kann verlassen (Tis well with him who on the Lord trusts just like a child) BWV 139 was performed for the first time on 12 November 1724 in the main Leipzig church service. The cantata text, based on the hymn of the same name by Johann Christoph Rube (1665-1746), is in praise of trust in God. In the opening chorus, full of depth of feeling, the hymn melody is heard throughout; this is followed by a lively tenor aria Gott ist mein Freund (God is my friend) with a musical depiction of the adversary raging in vain, and in the bass aria Das Ungluck schlagt auf allen Seiten (Misfortune assails me on every side) Bach presents both drama and Baroque imagery. One of the two solo violin parts for the tenor aria is lost, so our edition offers a reconstruction. The virtuoso violin part of the bass aria was evidently based on a part for violoncello piccolo, now lost. The edition provides for performance by violin or violoncello. Score available separately - see item CA.3113900.

The 135 hymns and songs in Whatever Name or Creed are texts for today, reflections by Andrew Pratt on a variety of contemporary topics, illuminated in the searchlight of his insistent and uncompromising questioning.

A major theme, regarded from the author's own Christian viewpoint, is the relationship between faiths, especially as witnessed in their heritage of shared insights.

The introduction is by Geoffrey Duncan. New musical settings by composers including Peter Cutts, Hal H. Hopson, John R. Kleinheksel Sr and Ian Sharp complement many of the texts, while others are indexed with tunes suggested from a number of standard British and American hymnals.
