The concerts and exhibits of the Cleveland Museum of Art were an important formative influence for me during my student days. So when the invitation came to create a new work celebrating this institution on its seventy-fifth anniversary, I was not only happy to accept, but knew immediately that I wanted to write a piece that would somehow relate specifically to the museum. I decided to make the work a reflection on a painting in the museum's collection: Zurbaran's The Holy House of Nazareth. My quartet is not program music in a narrative sense, but rather a kind of meditation that takes its tone from this painting's remarkable integration of intense affect, mysterious repose and secret geometry. Besides Zurbaran's painting, the piece is occupied with a purely musical object of contemplation: the hymn tune Picardy, best known with the text Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence. This tune permeates the harmonic and melodic life of the quartet, sometimes appearing in a very simple, straightforward fashion, but often hidden amidst more complex structures. I was attracted to the melody for its musical qualities, but later realized that the hymn's text also resonates with the mood of the painting; the words speak of a reverent awe, of cherubim with sleepless eye, and of the mystery of the Incarnate Word who must suffer: King of kings, yet born of Mary...

Sung for years as an alternative memorial acclamation at Sunday liturgies, Deiss' well-known refrain is coupled with verses that sing a strong reminder that Christ saves us by his death and resurrection and brings joy even in the midst of sorrow. Works well for the opening procession, the communion procession, or the Song of Farewell during the Rite of Final Commendation. Assemblies know this piece by heart.

In this new dramatic Christmas musical, brought to you by stellar creative team Joel Lindsey, Jeff Bumgardner, Heidi Petak, and
Daniel Semsen (the same team that brought you best-selling musicals Under a Starry Sky and Shepherds and Kings), we take that keep-it-simple, tell-it-like-it-is philosophy one step further! Through the lives and stories of some wonderfully developed, true-to-life characters...along with fun, memorable, and deeply moving songs...we,
too, can learn HOW TO HAVE THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!

Throug h the razzle-dazzle, hustle-bustle of everyday life (which alw. ys seems to slip into hyperdrive during the holiday season!), we can easily be distracted from the true meaning of Christmas, and lose sight of the message that Christ came to be our Savior. We forget the King Who came to us so long ago in a humble manger. After all, in the midst of the craziness that seems to overtake the world around us during the holidays, we wonder, in the words of our main character, Carol, “what a manger has to do with me today?”

Br ing Christmas to life for your church and community with the presentation of HOW TO HAVE THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER...a compelling, funny, and moving dramatic musical, sure to challenge and delight your music and drama teams while bringing the beauty of the Christmas story to the world around you.

Travel back to the Renaissance for an hour of musical compedy gold in Something Rotten JR. Adapted from the Broadway hit that Time Out New York hailed as “the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years,” Something Rotten! JR. celebrates one undeniable truth: “nothing's as amazing as a musical!” In the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world's very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz. Something Rotten! JR. features large song and dance numbers, and a wacky cast of over-the-top characters, each with their own moment to shine. Don't miss your chance to bring this history-twisting tale to your stage!

For those who trust in God, in the pain of sorrow there is consolation, in the face of despair there is hope, in the midst of death there is life. —Order of Christian Funerals Those who struggle with the inability to conceive, those who know the pain of losing a child before birth, and those who have faced their infant's death at the time of birth know that this season of mourning is often held inside, hidden and unseen. But God does not abandon us. Somehow, on the other side of loss an incredible story of resilience emerges. Bodies, though they are never the same again, heal. Couples try again, adopt, or reimagine. Those who mourn in isolation find not one, not two, but a community of others with whom they can identify. God's silence is not absence, it is the patient listening of a God who knows our grief first-hand, who weeps with us, who holds us as a mother holds her child. Death is never the whole story. The hope of new life surprises, confounds, persists. Of Womb and Tomb: Prayer in Time of Infertility, Miscarriage, and Stillbirth is a resource for individuals, couples, and parish communities who wish to accompany those on their grief journey. Filled with stories, prayers, Scripture, poems, and rituals this book may serve as a guide in creating prayer opportunities in a variety of settings. Together, let us bear witness to the Christian mystery—that new life is born of the womb and of the tomb. This is the companion recording, which may be used in private prayer or as a demonstration tool for preparing music for parish prayer.  .
