Composed by Joseph M. Martin. Shawnee Sacred. General Worship, Pentecost. CD only. Published by Shawnee Press (HL.35027081).

UPC: 884088468378. 4.75x5 inches.

Uses: General, Pentecost

Scripture: Psalm 134; Matthew 24:26

For choirs seeking a challenge, this anthem offers scope and power. Thick divided chords offer a sonorous depth to the timbre of the anthem, and the mixed meter characteristics of the rhythmic writing delivers a festive energy worthy of the finest ensembles. The final section springs forth with a rustic abandon concluding with antiphonal pyrotechnics that takes the anthem to dizzying heights!

UPC: 688670806056. English, Spanish. Psalm 19:8-15.

Fr. Jim Chepponis was commissioned to write a festive setting of Psalm 19 for the dedication of Christ Cathedral in Orange County, CA, in 2019. The result is what we've come to expect from this veteran composer. The optional instrumentation for flute, oboe, brass quintet, percussion, organ, and strings is perfect for a festive liturgy but can also be pared down for other occasions. The alternate refrains and different sets of verses make it work at multiple liturgies at which Psalm 19 is appointed. Both assembly and choral writing is very singable. The icing on the cake is that it can be done in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two.

UPC: 888680039103. 5x5 inches. Joseph M. Martin/David Angerman.

Uses: General, Ascension, Christ the King, Eastertide

Scripture: Psalm 47

The poetic imagery of this Psalm makes it usable not only as a general anthem but also for Ascension, Eastertide or Christ the King Sunday. The festive brass and percussion parts added to the organ make this an anthem of great impact. Mixed meter sections dance with more lyric passages as the anthem develops, and a very special “wall of sound” section is an outstanding moment of choral virtuosity. We are proud to now offer this proven winner for men's voices! Score and Parts (tpt 1-2, hn, tbn, tba, timp) available as a Printed Edition.
