Jesus Reassures His Mother is a setting of medieval lyric poetry written anonymously in the 14th century. The poet recounts a vision of the young Mary rocking the infant Christ to sleep. The child requests his mother to sing a lullaby but, alas, knowing her child’s fate she is too sad to sing. Jesus tells her that all mothers worry about their children’s futures and insists that she should sing nevertheless. Mary recounts the visit of Gabriel and the events of Christ’s birth but reflects how sad it is to have delivered a child to such a fate. Jesus reassures his mother that he will be with his father in heaven where Mary will come to join Him at the end of time, there to livein eternal bliss. At this point Mary is persuaded by and echoes her child’s reassuring words, and she is joined in this by the choir (now representing us all). The vision fades away in the voice of the narrator whose loneliness and longing return. We learn that it is Christmas Day. This setting grows from the visionary mystical world inhabited by Julian of Norwich whose Revelations of Divine Love provided the inspiration for a work Anne Boyd composed in 1994. The medium has been expanded from the Song Company’s six solo voices used in the Revelations to the double motet choir of the Sydney Philharmonia who commissioned this work for their 75th anniversary. The parts of the infant Jesus, Mary, the Narrator and the angel Gabriel are taken by choir soloists: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. The work is situated in the context of Boyd ’s personal musical aesthetic which she describes as the intersection of Christian Love with Buddhist silence.

A great new song with attitude, and we mean in the most positive way, this tune is destined to be a hit. The title is the chorus that answers every hardship that can come our way. Excellent energy, colorful blue notes, and rocking rhythms are the characteristics that make this song so good.

SATB choir, a cappella - Medium/Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.9839

Composed by Dr. George Guest. Cathedral. Choral, Festival, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9839. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9839).

This Welsh pre-reformation tune has been taken from The Song Book of Myra Evans. This gently rocking melody is most sensitively arranged by George Guest, in a quasi-polyphonic style. Each voice has the melody as the piece progresses and ends in a great peace. This work was originally meant to be sung at a wake or funeral, as a prayer for a friend's soul.

SATB choir, a cappella - Easy/Medium

SKU: PL.9533

Composed by Sam Batt Owens. Parish. Choral, Advent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9533. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9533).

Dr. Owen's adaptation of Psalm 72 alternates between a direct prayer to God of Come, O come down and various verses of the psalm. The address always appears in a gentle, rocking rhythmic motion while the verse settings change in accordance with the text. A combination of rich vocal timbres and a moderately slow tempo is used to give a sense of meditation to this Advent anthem.

UPC: 785147737605. English. Text Source: Charles Wesley, 1707–1788, alt. Text by Charles Wesley.

A reflective composition that is not challenging and features an attractive part for a soloist at the beginning and end. The men’s parts provide a supportive, gently rocking accompaniment throughout, except for a unison verse and a lovely 4-part a cappella verse. This is a wonderful new tune to pair with Wesley’s timeless text when you want to venture beyond the traditional pairings (e.g., HYFRYDOL, STUTTGART).
