This piece by Benjamin M. Culli paints a beautiful image of heaven. Arranged for SATB and piano, Culli treats the text with a lyrical tune and supportive piano accompaniment. The piece builds and modulates in the middle section, then finishes quietly in the original key. A moving selection for All Saints' Day.
A rest remains for all the weary;Arise, sad heart, and grieve no more;Though long the way, and dark and dreary,It opens to the golden shore.Before His throne the Lamb will lead you,On heav'nly pastures He will feed you,Cast off your burden, come with haste;Soon toil and strife will be unraveled,The weary way that you have traveled,Sweet is the rest that you will taste.
The Father's house has many a dwelling,And there for you a place will be.With perfect love His heart is wellingWho loved you from eternity.His precious blood the Lamb has givenThat you may share the joys of heaven,And now He calls out far and near:'You weary souls, cast off your sorrow;My light shines bright upon the morrow.Come, sweetest rest awaits you here!'
There rest and peace in endless measureWill be ours through eternity;No grief, no care, will mar our pleasure,And untold joy our lot will be.Oh, had we wings to hasten yonder—No more this sinful world to ponder—To join the glad, triumphant band!Arise, my soul, forget all sadness,For peace awaits you, joy and gladness—The perfect rest and promised land.

Commissioned by The Voices Foundation in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the ending of World War II, this most somber and dramatic piece uses texts from David Geraint Jones and William Shakespeare to chronicle the recollections and reflections of a soldier, which are not for the faint of heart. Thinking back on a more carefree past, the ââ¬Åspeakerââ¬Â assures his love that the future will again hold quiet and wonder. However, the price to be paid in between the past and the future is in blood and death. The soldier predicts poppies swaying over him as he lies freed of pain, yes, but also of passion. And he concludes, ââ¬ÅYour peace is bought with mine, if but the echo of your laughter reaches me in hell.ââ¬Â.

Fragile and precious, this sacred tone poem is a prayer for peace and a plea for healing of the heart. The soundscape of the anthem rises from a single tone, opening to reveal glimmering splashes of choral color. As the words become more impassioned, the octavo surrenders to a flowing piano episode that matches its intensity. This petition for calm begins to quiet as the anthem winds down, allowing the prayer to end in hushed chords of assurance. Score and Parts (vn, vc) available as a digital download.

An honest statement about the journey of faith is at the heart of this sacred ballad. Leaning on the promises of God's grace, the text and tune move with gently rhythmic elegance. The chorus in full SATB voicing is an impassioned acknowledgement of God's sovereignty and a commitment to surrendering to His divine will. A sturdy piano underpinning supports the refrain with strong convicting chords before give way to a devotional, quiet conclusion. A paean of prayer!

Each year the BBC Music Magazine commissions a brand-new Christmas Carol for their readers and, when Grace-Evangeline Mason was invited to compose the 2021 carol, she decided to write and set her own poem titled A Winter Carol. The words, which depict snowy scenery and starry allusions to heaven and earth, also include a modern twist as the composer dreams of walking home at Christmas time under the warm glow of the street lamps all covered in a silver frost. Written in three verses with a short refrain in between repeating the word “winter,†the piece is a small, celebratory reflection of Christmas time. The carol begins in quiet consideration before opening up to feel hearty and warm. After a playful midsection, the work returns to a softer final coda, which is reminiscentof the opening.

Using the words of John 14:1 and 27, Kenneth Kosche has created an eminently singable and practical anthem for most church choirs. It incorporates a meter change that enhances the text that begins Let not your heart be troubledÉ and then returns to the more quiet and gentle music of the opening.
