Simil ar in concept to its predecessor, The Living Last Supper (55/1110L), this unique presentation of the Christmas story is seen through the eyes of those who witnessed the first Christmas in Bethlehem many years ago. There are brief monologues for ten characters--ranging from Mary and Joseph to members of the Innkeeper's family--interspersed among the seven songs. (Also included are character descriptions, set and staging suggestions, and hints for wardrobe and props). The music is Ruth Elaine Schram at her best: beautiful melodies, thoughtful texts, well-crafted part writing-and includes familiar carols with possible congregational participation. The optional orchestration demands are modest, making it possible for the use of live instruments even on a limited budget. An Accompaniment CD is also available, if desired. The Living Light is flexible and accessible enough to appeal to and be within the capabilities of most music ministry programs.

Perfect for your fall concert, here is a piece that has spooky lyrics to teach the rhythms in the easy melodic line. Upper string parts are doubled, and the cello part doubles the bass line. Everyone gets to do glissando in this original by Susan Day. The piano part is integral to the piece. Feature some of your orchestra members singing the lyrics together with the orchestra, or invite members of the choir to join with the orchestra! Great fun for all, especially at Halloween, this one will stick in their heads. Find out who is this ghost in the living room! (2:35).

Precious music and powerful words bring the ministry of the Holy Spirit into clarity. Written in a folk style, this charming melody carries the words with an elegant grace that really communicates. The low and rich vocal range really adds emotion to the piece, and the flowing acoustic approach to the accompaniment is the perfect support for such a heart-felt expression. Score and parts (fl, cl, perc, hp, ac gtr, vc) available as a digital download.

Sarah Moore's Living Water is a fresh voice, calling today's church to come to Jesus, the Fountain of Life, for cleansing renewal. Mary McDonald's multi-generational arrangement is set for choir with solo and children's/youth choir, optional praise team and instrumental ensemble. Great for blended or contemporary worship, it is equally effective when accompanied by either keyboard or instrumental ensemble.

Even Jesus’ closest friends doubted His promise: In three days I will rise again. However, Christ triumphed over death, and through His resurrection, those who follow Him have a new and Living Hope. This cornerstone of our faith serves as the foundation for Tom Fettke and Thomas Grassi’s impassioned extended work for Easter. Distinguished by its use of nineteenth–century American hymnody, Shaker melodies, and spirituals, this celebratory cantata also includes the option for three soloists and six narrations for one or more readers. Michael Lawrence’s powerful orchestration adds to the brilliance of this hope–filled work that is sure to engage your choir and congregation in celebration of the risen Christ!
