UPC: 785147939207. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 23. Text by John Quincy Adams. Scripture: Psalm 23.

Although best known as the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams’ great desire was to write poetry, upon hearing his words set to music by one of his contemporaries, he exclaimed his delight “as the organ pealed and the choir of voices sung the praise of Almighty God from the soul of David, adapted to my native tongue by me.” This setting was written for SAB choir, however, it could be sung by an SSA ensemble as well. The tune is original, but Meyer has written in the style of the music that Adams might have heard in his day.

Francis Patrick O’Brien has written a new mass setting that speaks to the sensible and real needs of parish settings. Engaging congregational melodies are enhanced by simple—but never simplistic— SAB choral parts, both of which are supported by a versatile keyboard part. The instrumental parts for flute and trumpet may be used separately or together. Two settings of the Glory to God are included: a through-composed setting and a refrain setting.

Beautiful modern harmonies create the backdrop for this elegantly simple a cappella work that is well within reach for most choirs. Straightforward rhythms and moments of release create a tapestry of sound that surrounds the solo chant line, which may be sung by a soloist, small group, or performed by a C instrument. Also available for SATB, SAB, 3pt, SA, and unsion voices with piano. This artistic setting is equally appropriate for litugical use or the concert stage.  .

UPC: 785147828204. English. Text source: Based on Song of Songs. Text by Michael Mahler. Scripture: Song of SongsÑmixed references.

An intriguing contemporary sound for this romantic text from Scripture—you may find yourself swaying and whistling along. The soloist should be comfortable with the syncopation in the verses, while the addition of the background vocals (three voices in close harmony plus a descant) really adds to the aura of the piece, especially in the assembly’s refrain.

From a simple, joyful Gospel Acclamation based on the tune LAMBILLOTTE (Alleluia, Song of the Spirit) comes this full Mass setting where all the sung portions are based on that tune. While featuring a driving, rhythmic piano part, there is also an alternate accompaniment with more intentional melodic support that is suitable for organ. Optional instrumental parts are intended for trumpet and flute but may be played by any combination of C or B-flat treble instruments. With the joyful exuberance of the tune at its core, this Mass setting is especially well-suited to Easter and Ordinary Time.

UPC: 785147962205. English. Text Source: Psalm 138:1–3, 7c–8, alt. Scripture: Psalm 138:1–3, 7c–8.

This gentle piece is a paraphrase of Psalm 138, a psalm that unites us with the angels in praise of God’s goodness and greatness. The choral parts in verses 2 and 3 are optional, they work just as well with a single voice. There are many occasions, inside and outside of liturgical worship settings, when this piece would be appropriate.
