Victor Johnson lends his artful pen to the beloved Austrian carol, which proves a fitting vehicle for his sensitive signature style. Long melodic lines, generous harmonic suspensions, an intricate piano accompaniment, and a luminous cello obbligato combine to make a special moment for holiday programs. SSA and SATB singers will sound their best on this terrific treatment that is a joy to sing and a pleasure to hear.

The familiar tune ST. CATHERINE becomes a worthy vehicle for Alan Hommerding's text as arranged here by Wolfgang Lampert in a baroque-like style. The well-written organ part and counter-melodies (or optional flute line) support the unison choir in verses 1 and 3, verse 2, set for four-part chorus a cappella, is an unexpected delight and features an alternate choral harmonization.

Laus tibi, Sancte Spiritus. Composed by Ron Barnett. Pentecost, Pentecost A, Pentecost B, Pentecost C. Choral. Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. GIA Publications #7442. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-7442).

UPC: 785147744207. English, Latin. Text Source: Based on writings of Hildegard of Bingen. Text by Mary Louise Bringle.

This energetic setting is a perfect vehicle to propel Bringle’s text in praise of the Holy Spirit. The driving organ part is punctuated by parts for the optional brass and timpani. With a recurring iteration of “Laus tibi, Sancte Spiritus” that builds to the end, joined by a soaring descant, this is a bold piece for Pentecost! Trumpets, trombone and timpani parts are optional.

The outcome of a fruitful collaboration of theologians, writers and musicians working at the retreat and therapeutic centre of Holy Rood House in Yorkshire, this new collection articulates the needs of a contemporary ministry of healing through the agency of hymns, the church's most resonant and expressive form of worship.

Acknowledging the impact of medical science in vastly expanding the range of the possible in every aspect of our living and dying, eighty-three texts tackle a rich diversity of themes: infant death, illness and suffering, ageing and dementia, the genome, mortality and bereavement, grief and lament, pain and despair - including pain and despair from the failure of healing - but also wisdom and resilience, healing as part of a spiritual holism of mind and body, and as a metaphor for social and political justice and care for the environment. The wealth of music includes new tunes and familiar ones, and the anthology concludes with a section of twelve short or repetitive texts to be used in conjunction with prayer.

Hymns of Hope and Healing is the product of many voices, from those of widely experienced authors to others taking their promising early steps in the form. It will provide a vehicle for worship and reflection for those involved in chaplaincy, in therapies and counselling, and all in the wider church with an interest in this ancient ministry. Witnessed through the life, death and resurrection of Christ, it is refreshed and re-imagined here for a time both of breathtaking scientific advance, and of an urgent need to affirm our wholeness and faith while embracing the momentous challenges to our traditional understanding of health and healing.
