UPC: 785147824800. English. Text source: Scrutinies from Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.

The Scrutinies occur on the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays of Lent, when the Elect are called before the community for exorcism and prayer. The simple Kyrie (with a spoken Confiteor) could be used as the Penitential Rite for the entire Lenten season, whether or not the Intercessions are used. The melody is the same for the Kyrie-Christe- Kyrie, but the accompaniment is varied and the choral parts unfold from unison to two-part mixed to SAB.

UPC: 641151078892.

Ed has written a cantor, choir, and assembly-friendly setting of the Sequence for Pentecost using the approved text from The Roman Missal. The stepwise motion of the lyrical melody facilitates a quick learn. The piece begins in D major for the first four verses, modulates to E for the next three verses, moves to F for verses 8 and 9, and concludes with the final verse in G. The interval relationships are the same with each modulation, highlighti ng the words and adding a sense of urgency. The octavo includes a keyboard part, but you will note that this can be performed with just a simple guitar accompaniment. And, guitar pages are included in the octavo.

UPC: 785147601302. English. Text Source: 2 Corinthians 5:20. Text by Shirley Erena Murray. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 5:20.

The text speaks of discipleship and would be a great choice for events focusing on social justice, for a commissioning/sending anthem, or even as part of a healing and reconciliation service. The question of the final phrase (“Shall we now refuse God's call?”) is reflected in the unsteadiness of the musical line, which seems to say, “It's up to each of us to do our part.”.

The Adoration of the Holy Cross. Composed by Chris De Silva. Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Exaltation of the Cross. Ritual Prayer. Sacred. Octavo. With guitar chord names. 12 pages. GIA Publications #9500. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-9500).

UPC: 785147950004. English. Text Source: 'Ecce lignum Crucis,' tr. The Roman Missal, 2010, 'Crux fidelis,' hymn for Good Friday, tr. The Roman Missal, 2010.

Many congregations hold Good Friday as a sacred day of gathering in prayer, focusing on the cross in anticipation of the Resurrection. Chris de Silva’s “Faithful Cross” is a setting of a lengthy, ancient hymn (“Crux fidelis”) that celebrates the cross with rich symbolism and poetry. Two refrains are included for the assembly, and a simple chant for The Showing of the Holy Cross (“Behold the wood of the Cross...”) is also provided. “Faithful Cross” does not have to be restricted to use only on Good Friday, it can be part of the Palm Sunday liturgy and for feast days such as the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (September 14).

While not a highly liturgical text, this song can find great resonance for all who long for a simpler life that focuses on the presence of the Spirit, uncluttered by too many words and ceaseless activity. The words challenge us to make space for God and, in so doing, make space for others—a space where the creative Spirit of God may act. The choral writing moves from unison to 4-part textures with ample opportunity for solo voices.

A light gospel sound inhabits this offering that begins in an easy-going manner with a solo or the men’s voices. Before long, the choir joins a robust refrain featuring a dynamic—but not impossibly high—soprano descant. Certainly a consideration for the smaller (SAB) choir that has a lot of passion to share with the assembly.
