The indigenous New Zealand Māori tune name NGAKAU NIWHA translates resolute heart.

The piece begins with a drumbeat that resembles a heartbeat. The simple melody moves through the vocal parts in a variety of textures.

Arranged by Keith S. Kalemba. Christmas, Epiphany. Tune Name: Irish Carol. Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. GIA Publications #005832. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-005832).

Keith Kalemba has intelligently arranged this Irish Christmas carol for four-part chorus with an appealing instrumental duo of flute and viola. We begin with an introduction reminiscent of medieval instrumental performance--a string drone under the ornamented melodic tune on the flute. The soprano melody on the first verse is complemented by the tenor line in a clever, highly effective canon at the eighth note. The instruments reappear as a musical conclusion for each stanza and an interlude introduces verse 3 for soprano and alto voices in canon. Verse 4, for a cappella men's voices, musically builds to the final verse for full four-part chorus and instruments. This well designed arrangement will prove to be a worthy challenge for your seasonal choral library. A violin part may be purchased to substitute for viola (e05842).

Originally written as a companion volume for Proulx's incredibly successful Six Choral Introits for the Church Year, these well-crafted introductions and accompaniments for standard hymns also stand alone as a resource every organist will want on their shelf! The brief introits (which can also serve as an interlude between the choral singing of one of the six introits and the congregation's singing of the hymn) are followed by fresh yet instantly accessible accompaniments.

This flowing and passionate call to service would be great for inclusion in prayer services with themes of mission, social justice, or charity. A unique feature of this piece is the musical interlude to underscore Scripture proclamation. Any Scripture passage that answers the question “What must we do?” would be appropriate.

Text by Cecil Frances Alexander.

From the CD Christ Is Risen, Truly Risen! (002311), this sublime choral anthem by the late Fr. Chrysogonus Waddell has a brief organ introduction that sets up the first stanza for unison choir and assembly. The second and third verses were conceived for SATB a cappella performance and clearly demonstrate Fr. Chrysogonus’s fresh harmonic language and concise part-writing. A graceful organ interlude prepares us for the grand final verse with soaring descant. .

Renaissance dance rhythms inform this joyous setting of a sixteenth-century melody. The clear choral writing is set off by a jaunty keyboard interlude.

The refrain’s melody in this selection sways gently and slowly, much as a parent might cradle a babe in her or his arms, the verses expand the usual textual elements of this ancient chant, punctuated by echoes of the refrain. At the end of each verse, a short interlude by the accompaniment adds to the restfulness one feels. It’s an easily learned piece of simple beauty. Included in the octavo are parts for flute, oboe, and cello as well as a reproducible congregational part.
