A perfect seasonal choice, Onward we go is a consummate example of Thomas Hewitt Jonesâ??s feeling for young voices, and his passion for sharing the joy of Christmas through memorable tunes. A beautiful, arching melody carries the delightful verse by Canon Gordon Giles, which tells of children singing as they journey to the manger. Shepherds, angels and the Magi accompany them on their way, bearing gifts of love to honour the incarnation in faith, hope and reverence. Expressive and irresistible, words and music go straight to the heart, with a warmth especially inspired by the dedicatees, chorister-tutor Caroline Lenton-Ward and the childrenâ??s choir of St Stephenâ??s, South Dulwich, a church which also played a formative part in the composerâ??s musical upbringing. Onward we go may be performed by unison voices with organ or piano, or with organ or piano and additional flexible instrumental ensemble including any available upper strings and woodwind, plus optional cello, bass guitar or double bass, mark tree and tubular bells.A set of score and parts for the optional ensemble (Cat. No. Y373) will be available to purchase.

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).
