THIS IS THE LEADER'S EDITION Conceived and created in the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic which began in early 2020 and continues as this edition goes to press, the resource, Amen. Alleluia! A resource for praying farewell, grows out of reality and necessity. All individuals, families and institutions have been affected by the pandemic, including the church. Congregations responded in offering pastoral care in numerous ways when a gathering of people was not possible or permissible. It seems inevitable that some of these initiatives will now become a normative experience in the life of a congregation. These initiatives include the streaming or broadcast of services, increased ministry to those who cannot be present, providing resources for home prayer, adaptation of worship services in denomination resources, and relevant to this publication, the growing experience of delayed or postponed funerals. Amen. Alleluia! A resource for praying farewell offers clergy, pastoral ministers, congregations, families and individuals a collection of prayer services, Scripture passages, other texts, and music to mourn the death, and celebrate the life, of the deceased. While many of the services are framed in the structure of Western liturgical traditions, the collection is truly ecumenical. The material within may be used in conjunction with a congregation’s or denomination’s principal worship resource, or as an alternative to established liturgies. With adaptation, this resource can be used at interfaith memorials, as well as with those who have no affiliation in a faith tradition. CONTENTS: Graveside Funeral and Service of Committal, Graveside Funeral and Service of Committal for a Child, Graveside Committal Following a Funeral, Brief Service for the Scattering of Ashes, Prayer Service When a Funeral Is Delayed, Anniversary Visit to a Grave, Meditation for a Personal Visit to a Gravesite, Prayer and Meditation When Tending a Grave, Remembering and Naming the Saints of the Congregation, A Congregational Ritual of Loss and New Beginnings, Brief Service for the Death of a Beloved Animal, Other Liturgical Texts, Scripture Readings, Psalms, Poetry and Reflections, Hymns.

This supple and mellifluous setting seems to grow from plainchant--its largely stepwise motion grows naturally out of text accents, and individual sections are singled out now and then, for variety in texture. This deceptively simple piece is intelligent and lovely. SSAA a cappella; duration: 2’00; range: a-g; difficulty: medium. SSAA, a cappella Published by: Treble Clef Music Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

Traditional Irish Melody A random bell ring with flute melody introduces this lovely arrangement of the traditional Irish melody SLANE. Further grace is bestowed through the use of LV and mallet on suspended bells techniques. The final section grows more full texture and dynamic-wise before settling into a recap of the beginning mood. The flute score is printed above the bell part for the director to follow. This 77-measure piece is scored in C Major and Ab Major.

I Have Heard the Music There for treble voices, optional descant, with piano is a lyrical work that utilizes a reoccurring motif which grows and varies. The developing variation-like use of this theme speaks to the image or notion of growth; the growth of a tree, of a person, or a choir. We may start out small, then vary, change, develop, transform. The vocal line’s slight variation, use of repetition, imitation, and canonic-like movements weave a thread of familiarity through the piano’s tapestry of subtle shifts in timbre, register, and alternation between chorale-like writing and moments of florid flourishing; the music paints the imagery of the text.The text by Leslie Grant Scott illuminates themes of the humanity, solace, and comfort we find in Nature. The forest’s foliage filters out the harshness of the world, and we are calmed by the forest’s heart. To me Nature is also a metaphor for community, or the network of loved ones you may have, over perhaps your choir; together with compassion and kindness we are able to filter the world’s harshness, together we grow, we celebrate, and we listen to the music around us.SILENCE [Leslie Grant Scott, 1912 PD] adpt. M. EmeryI have heard the music thereIn the deep forest's heart, Where filters the sun's rays, In a still, golden haze.I have heard the music there.The breathless silence speaks, Bringing Nature's soft balm And her great soothing calm To all those who will hear.I have heard the music there.

Responding to demand from saxophonists, Schocker created this adaptation of his best-loved work, customizing it for the instrument’s colors and registers. Composed as a recital work for his own performances as a flutist, Gary Schocker’s Regrets and Resolutions has been a standard in that instrument’s repertoire for over 30 years. Inspired by an 80-year-old friend’s birthday, the composer has written: “I wrote the Regrets imagining what it might be like to look back over 80 years. ‘What if I’d made different choices?’ ‘What if ...?’ The Resolutions is a forward-thinking movement, very energetic and positive, except for a brief looking-back, questioning (the 1st movement is recapped and grows), after which the music plunges back into the rhythmic finale.”.
