Christ Jesus Is the Lord. Composed by Peter M. Kolar. Lent, Palm Sunday, Good Friday, OT 26 A, Exaltation of the Holy Cross. Sacred. Octavo. 20 pages. GIA Publications #10716. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10716).

Spanish. Text Source: Filipenses / Philippians 2:6-11, La Biblia Latinoamérica Scripture: Philippians 2:6–11.

Commissioned by the American Federation Pueri Cantores to showcase diversity within the Spanish-language choral repertoire, this advanced choral piece written for SATB voices and piano accompaniment is a setting of Philippians chapter 2, in which Saint Paul exalts Christ as the “name above all names” for having taken on human form to die on the cross. The piece is in three sections, mirroring the three-part form of the scripture passage: a gentle, stoic homophonic opening in C major, a polyphonic, somber middle section in A minor at the words “even death on a cross,” and an exuberant section in A major climaxing in the final statement that “Christ Jesus is the Lord!” For choirs looking for a musical challenge and an opportunity to showcase the choral arts using scriptural texts in Spanish, this masterful work makes for a tremendous concert piece, prelude or liturgical anthem.

UPC: 785147029267. English. Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri.

Scenes from the composer's native Norway inspired this poem by Charles Anthony Silvestri. Barren and intensely beautiful, this Norwegian land feels sacred, a notion captured in Silvestri's lyrics. Gjeilo has created a stunning soundscape that will be a favorite of chorus. With piano accompaniment and optional string quartet (full score and string quartet parts available separately). *ERRATA NOTE: Soprano 1 starting in measure 50 is a minor third too high. Soprano 1s should sing mm. 50-end a minor third lower, starting on a G (the piece ending on an F). The sample pages here and the digital PDF reflect the corrected version.
