Noted
composer M. Roger Holland
has taken antiphons from
the 2010 Roman Missal and
paired them with psalm
verses, creating
compositions that have
wide use in the liturgy.
Some parishes will want
to use these pieces on
the appointed day for
entrance or communion
processionals. Others may
find use for them
throughout the entire
year, perhaps using them
as a weekly song through
the season. The songs
work well as stand-alone
processional pieces and
many choirs will want to
use them as choir anthems
or congregational songs
during the preparation of
the gifts and altar.
While utilizing official
texts of the Roman rite,
they can be used by
congregations of any
denomination. Roger
explores the wide breadth
that is African American
music, you’ll find
lyric ballades,
spiritualinspired
offerings, gospel-style
songs, and pieces with a
more uptempo feel. This
is the fourth volume in
this series. Contains: O
Sing a New Song
• God Is Love
• Behold
Emmanuel
• Communion Song
For cantor or
soloist.
