As her
tune writing journey
continues, Sally Ann
Morris explores new
sounds and forms while
still exhibiting the
craftsmanship and melodic
variety that have made
her tunes so widely sung
and accessible. This
third collection includes
settings of texts by Mary
Louis Bringle, Carl P.
Daw Jr., Delores Dufner,
OSB, Shirley Erena
Murray, Adam M. L. Tice,
Thomas Troeger, and
others. Highlights
include the delightful
“Invited by God to
Tango,†a joyous
tune easter waltz for
“Spread the Good
News,†a setting of
“Wordless Is the
Prayer†that
employs the use of
resonant sounds in sung
prayer, and a moving
dialog hymn “You
Search and Know Me, O My
God.â€.

Sally Ann
Morris and Adam Tice
began working together in
2008, when Sally was
asked to compose a few
tunes for Adam’s
first collection, Woven
into Harmony. This
initial collaboration was
the beginning of what has
become a dynamic
partnership. In this
symbiotic pairing new
inspiration emerged,
generating contemporary
but timeless music where
text and tune seamlessly
unite.
    The a
cappella choral writing
on “Will You Hold
Me in the Lightâ€
and “This Is My
Body†is so lush
and intricate that
accompaniment is not
necessary, while the
poetry of “God Give
Me Faith like a
Child†and
“Breath of God,
Breath of Peaceâ€
illustrates the innocence
and fearlessness
essential in our love and
trust of God.
Stylistically ranging
from a cappella choral to
Latin jazz, each piece
offers a musical and
textual sophistication
that powerfully conveys
themes of journey and
longing for God’s
guidance.
