Choral Choir,Choral,SATB Chorus - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1474232 Composed by Bernard Sexton. 21st Century,Advent,Celtic,Christian,Irish. 8 pages. Trinity Music Press #1051898. Published by Trinity Music Press (A0.1474232). This simple hymn for Advent is based on John 1:14, Ps 25 , Is 30 Phil 4, Is 45 This hymn presents a number of performing possibilities. In its simplest form, the refrain may be repeated ( in Latin and/or in English) as an ostinato with solo instruments added on selected repetitions. This would be particularly appropriate for communion time, where the assembly/ choir could sing while processing to communion. In a more extended form, the verses may be sung by a soloist alternating with the choral refrain. Verbum caro factum estHabitavit in nobisAlleluiaWord made flesh now drawing nearCome to live among us hereTo you, O Lord, I lift up my soul, O Lord, my God I have trusted in you. O God protect me from those who wish me ill, may those who hope in you be never ashamed.Behold, O people, people of Sion, the Lord will come to save the nations. The Lord will make his glorious voice heard, this voice shall be heard in the joy of your hearts.Drop down the dew, you heavens above and let the clouds rain down the one who is just. And let the earth be opened wide and let the earth bring forth a Saviour, Christ the Lord .

Choral Choir (SATB divisi) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.796815 By The Band. By J.R. Robertson. Arranged by Eric Hagmann. A Cappella. Octavo. 14 pages. Eric Hagmann #3911445. Published by Eric Hagmann (A0.796815). An SSATB + duet vocal jazz arrangement of The Weight (Take a Load Off, Annie) by The Band. This chart reimagines The Band's original song as an a cappella swing tune straight out of the 1940's. The bottom voice thumps along on neutral syllables of your choosing just as an upright bassist would in the big band. If you don't have any singers who can take on this part, an actual bass instrument could be substituted. The guitar accompaniment of the original song is now replaced by complex jazz harmonies and rhythms sung by your upper voices to compliment your soloists. The last 1/3rd of the song has a breakdown that layers and overlaps your voices one by one until they come together for a final build into the last chorus. This section also offers an opportunity for a small quartet to sing an optional harmony part. While this piece is challenging, it offers a unique spin on an old classic that will surely hold your audience's attention if performed well. .

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB divisi) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.900166 By Sarah Labrie, Conductor - Chamber Choral Conducting Workshop, Sarteano, Italy. By Mary Ellen Haupert. Easter,Sacred,Spiritual. 5 pages. Mary Ellen Haupert #3031789. Published by Mary Ellen Haupert (A0.900166). ILLUMINE LE TENEBRE (SSAATTBB) For Jean Saladino and the Viterbo University Concert Choir TRANSLATION of TEXT: Most High, glorious God, enlighten the darkness of my heart and give me true faith, certain hope and perfect charity, sense and knowledge, Lord, that I may carry out your holy and true command. Amen. - St. Francis of Assisi's Prayer before the Crucifix NOTES from the composer: One year ago, I had the privilege of participating in the Leadership Pilgrimage to Assisi and Rome (2011) sponsored by the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, Franciscan Healthcare, and Viterbo University. I carried with me, not only the responsibility of bringing back a hint of Francis’ lived experience to my students, but the desire to compose something wholly Franciscan. The San Damiano Cross is one of the most distinctive Franciscan images we have on campus. The gentle Jesus that hangs on this 12th-century icon will forever be linked to Francis’ dramatic step from citizen to sainthood-welcoming his earnest prayer to enlighten the darkness of his heart. The Basilica of Santa Chiara in Assisi holds both the San Damiano Cross and the remains of his confidante, St. Clare. It seemed a good place to start getting serious. Copying the prayer in at least six different languages, I tucked it away in my travel books, not digging it out again until the following summer (2012). The opening phrases in the piece came easily enough (Altissimo, glorioso Dio), but I stumbled through a handful of ideas before coming up with the mantra (illumine le tenebre…). It made sense that Francis would joyfully address God singing forte (Altissimo and Signore), while quietly chanting his humble prayers for faith, hope, charity, and knowledge. The friendship between Francis and Clare can’t be missed, not only in the intermingling of SATB voices, but in the setting of che faccia lo tuo santo e verace comadamento (that I may carry out your holy and true command). The phrase is sung only once by the women before the final return of the illumine chant (which is repeated throughout by the men). Maybe I chanced on weaving some of Clare’s courage with Francis’ persistence into Illumina le tenebre, all while trying to compose something wholly Franciscan?  ---Mary Ellen Haupert, October 2012.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1170082 By Crowder. By Ben Glover, David Crowder, and Matt Maher. Arranged by Ken Litton. Celtic,Christian,Contemporary,Grunge,Irish,Praise & Worship. Octavo. 11 pages. Artist of Note, Inc. #770450. Published by Artist of Note, Inc. (A0.1170082). Past generations had Just As I Am and the Billy Graham crusades had Come Just As You Are, but this century may not have known a truly usable appeal/altar call song until the writing of Come As You Are by Ben Glover, David Crowder, and Matt Maher.This SATB arrangement offers practical vocal ranges and a comfortable fit for congregational participation. In addition to the consistency thoughout the stanzas that your choir/ensemble needs for ease of learning, a practical extended ending adds to the climactic appeal and gentle conclusion lingers in the heart and mind.The highly playable keyboard/piano accompaniment holds the door open for accompanists and directors to accept and benefit by playing a contemporary offering, while the precise chord symbols facilitate the inversions and superimposed chords that make for great use of a rhythm section. A faithful take on the original and one that your choir/ensemble will enjoy and find useful in worship leadership!Thanks, as always to the good folks at ArrangeMe.com, a division of Hal Leonard!Available via…Sheet Music Plushttps://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/come-as-you-are-digital-sheet-music/22436819Sheet Music Directhttps://www.sheetmusicdirect.com/en-US/se/ID_No/1265741/Product.aspx.

Choral Choir,Choral,SATB Chorus - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1490010 Composed by Text: Eden Reeder Latta (1839 - 1915) Tune: Henry Southwick Perkins (1833 -1914. Arranged by Ken Litton. Christian,Lent,Religious,Sacred. 11 pages. Artist of Note, Inc. #1066874. Published by Artist of Note, Inc. (A0.1490010). Whiter Than the Snow/Eden Reeder Latta - Henry Southwick Perkins BLESSED BE THE FOUNTAIN arr. Ken Litton (ASCAP)As an SBC music missionary active in Brazil I quickly discovered the hymns missionaries had taken with them as the work gained impetus from the 1890s when the Bagbys arrived to build on the foundation laid by early pioneers like Solomon Ginsburg. I found myself leading those hymns from the nearly 100 year old Cantor Cristão (Christian Singer) in the strongly attended evening services at the Igreja Batista Rio Doce (Sweet River Baptist Church) in Recife, with people literally leaning in through the windows from outside to sing along. Just a normal p.m. attendance or... curiosity about the missionary leading? No, certainly it was the message of the gospel in these great hymns and in the Brazilians’ creative work as well. I mainly remember holding that small print hymnal in one hand and leading with the other (shaking badly) and singing in Portuguese!From that kind of congregational participation I vividly remember the hymn Blessed be the Fountain by Eden Reeder Latta (1839 - 1915) and Henry Southwick Perkins (1833 -1914) with it’s energetic dotted eighth and sixteenth rhythm figures and text of confession based on Zechariah 13:1. That text was very important in the lives of disciples in Brazil and in my own heart. Here I have used only the verses of the text and tune, simply smoothing out the rhythm and adjusting the lyric to more modern usage (yet preserving the devotional pronouns Thee, Thy and Thine).The tune BLESSED BE THE FOUNTAIN is altered in rhythm, tempo and one descending interval from the original. The arrangement is by me, having built the intro, interlude and key change as well as the ending from the material that constituted the refrain in the origina. As a bridge and additional textual/musical impulse into the key change and final verse I’ve interpolated the refrain from the well-known gospel hymn Whiter than Snow (FISCHER) by James Nicholson and William G. Fischer.The voices include a wide variety of unison, two-part and four-part passages that are well within the capability of the average church choir. The accompaniment difficulty level is about as minimal as it can be I hope, while still reflecting support for the voices, a measure of variety as well as some real independence.I certainly think choirs of some ability and their dedicated accompanists will enjoyWhiter Than the Snow as much as I have in developing it.
