A wonderful “bridge” piece of praise, “Laudamus te” celebrates and honors the traditions of different musical groups. It enables ensemble singers to experience linear, extended choral writing, while at the same time allowing the “traditional” choir to sing a simple Latin text over a piano/guitar accompaniment. The piece is rounded out by the use of strings and winds.

Adam M. L. Tice’s graceful, prophetic, and challenging text encourages us to create peace and to be thoughtful stewards of creation. We are called to “live what we believe.” Moving from a unison verse to choral harmony and then to the melody with soaring descant, this fervent hymn gathers energy from beginning to end. Haugen’s piece is offered both as an extended choral anthem and as a traditional hymn for assembly. Octavo contains a hymn version.

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. .

“We are, inescapably, filled with Ruah, the Holy Spirit, from our first breath to our last. As Paul reminds the early church in Romans 8:9 ‘you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you.’ Paul is reminding us that we are filled with the Ruah of God and so should choose to live accordingly.”                                                                   – Ian Callanan (from the Introduction)   Drawing on the rich tradition of composer Ian Callanan’s musical background Ruah: Mass of the Breath of God is filled with Celtic themes and motifs. With the exception of the Our Father, the entire Mass is composed in the key of D, the key in which traditional Irish instruments are tuned, making the setting as accessible as possible. The recording models the sound of full Celtic instrumentation, though the setting is just as effective when simple accompaniment is used.    Ruah utilizes the Eucharistic Prayer for Children, yet the choice is by no means meant to be limiting. This is a setting composed with the entire assembly in mind, encouraging all to take a deep breath, then sing with the Ruah of God.

A lush setting of a traditional Spanish carol, with an optional guitar setting arranged by Ron Rendek in standard notation with tablature. Great for use in multicultural parishes.
