This profound collection for Palm Sunday, Triduum, and Easter, deeply infused with the passion of the season, evolves from the worship in the parishes where Rory Cooney and Gary Daigle have served over the years. Trumpet in the Morning, Rory Cooney's highly inspirational hymn for the millennium, is set to the haunting strains of an early-American melody. The text draws on jubilee imagery, especially from the book of Leviticus, but its point of view is distinctly modern. New hymns resound with the emotions of the season, including the solemn strains of Good Friday's Precious Blood and the truly uplifting title song, This Very Morning. Also included is a new concertato arrangement of Suzanne Toolan's classic, I Am the Bread of Life. Highlights of this collection include a stirring acclamation for baptism that has been expanded into a song for the sprinkling of the assembly. There is an upbeat Litany of Saints to accompany the baptismal procession to the font, appropriately based on When the Saints Go Marchin' In and incorporating the refrain from that enduring spiritual. One each of the following octavos: TRUMPET IN THE MORNING (G-4970) • QUIET STRENGTH (G-5011) • PALM SUNDAY PROCESSIONAL (G-5012) • LENTEN GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (G-5013) • PRECIOUS BLOOD (G-5014) • FRACTION RITE AND “TABLEPRAYER” (G-5015) • CONCERTATO ON “I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE” (G-5016) • PSALM 31: I PLACE MY LIFE (G-3613) • GENESIS READING FOR THE GREAT VIGIL (G-5018C) • PSALM 118 (EASTER ALLELUIA) FOR THE GREAT VIGIL (G-5019) • A LITANY OF SAINTS: WHEN THE SAINTS COME MARCHIN’ IN (G-5020) • YOU HAVE PUT ON CHRIST (G-5021) • THIS VERY MORNING (G-5022).

The cantata Ein Herz, das seinen Jesum lebend weiss for the third day of Easter 1724 is one of those older cantatas which Bach integrated into his first Leipzig annual cycle of cantatas; it was originally composed in Kothen as a secular cantata for the New Year celebration in 1719 (BWV 134a). Rousing virtuoso arias and a magnificent final chorus containing dialog sections not only emphasize the festive character of the cantata, but also lend it a very particular charm. Score available separately - see item CA.3113400.

This volume contains three reworkings and orchestrations of religious works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy which were originally set for smaller ensembles (solo voices, four-part chorus and organ). They were composed at different times and for different occasions, two of them as commissions. The anthem ,,Why, o Lord, delay forever MWV A 19 was originally the sacred vocal piece MWV B 33, published in England in 1841 with the additional title ,,[…] The Thirteenth Psalm, and in Germany in the same year as ,,Lass, o Herr, mich Hilfe finden with the title ,,Drei geistliche Lieder which was composed at the suggestion of the English literature and music lover Charles B. Broadley who also provided the paraphrase of the psalm text. After Mendelssohn had refused an initial request by Broadley to furnish the anthem post festum with an organ prelude, the composer did not want to turn down a second request to orchestrate the work and he even expanded the existing material with a lengthy closing fugue involving additional trumpets and timpani. The ,,Ave Maria MWV B 19 was written in connection with Mendelssohn's appointment as municipal music director, a position which at the same time included the responsibility for the musical organization of church services. The instrumentation of the work with an accompaniment of two clarinets and two bassoons as well as low strings was due to the fact that the organ in Dusseldorf's principal church St. Lambertus was out of order for an extended period of time, and Mendelssohn considered this solution explicitly only as a surrogate for the organ should there be none. A further psalm paraphrase in English, this time by William Bartholomew, of the hymn ,,Hear my prayer MWV B 49 was set to music in early 1844; the orchestration of the organ part commissioned by the distinguished Dublin musician Joseph Robinson was not completed until 1847 so that the premiere finally only took place after Mendelssohn's death. In the further course of the century ,,Hear my prayer would, particularly in the version with organ accompaniment, come to enjoy great popularity in Great Britain and Ireland.
