GIA Publications, Inc., the publisher of numerous single-author and single-composer collections of hymn texts and tunes, has put together its first-ever anthology of hymns. While insufficient in number for single-author or single-composer editions, these new texts and tunes by a diverse group of creative people are worthy of having the opportunity to “find their vocation.” Encompassing a variety of styles, this collection of 50 hymns includes new texts by John Dalles, Jacque Jones, Joy Patterson, John Thornburg, and new tunes by John Karl Hirten, Ron Krisman, and Leo Nestor. Also included are texts and tunes by John L. Bell, Mary Louise Bringle, Ruth Duck, Delores Dufner OSB, Sylvia Dunstan, Marty Haugen, Sally Ann Morris, Carl Schalk, and Adam Tice.

Keeping Advent in a school or parish is challenging, especially when the surrounding culture begins the celebration of Christmas earlier and earlier each year.  Creation to Christmas is a wonderful tool to remind all involved that the anticipation of the season is for someone, not some thing.  This Advent program is rich in both musical and catechetical content as it teaches students not only about salvation history but music history as well, incorporating various spirituals throughout the program.  Everything your community needs to prepare this program is provided here: a full script with keyboard or guitar arrangements of the songs, director’s notes, templates for the Jesse Tree ornaments, and necessary participation forms, with reprintable elements provided on the included CD-ROM.  Sure to become a well-loved tradition year after year!
