to a distinctly classical
sound, sprinkled with a
wide variety of
instruments. Selected
works include All Glory
Is Yours-rich and
melodic, with a memorable
and singable refrain,
Build Your City on the
Hill-rousing, with an
early American flavor,
Christ Is the
Day-mysterious, for
Advent, Cleanse the
Thoughts of Our
Hearts-choral music at
its finest, Before the
Song Was Done-majestic
and lilting, for
Christmas, This Our Joy
and This Our
Feast-Joyful, for Easter,
with trumpets and
alleluia! Just consider
this roster of text
writers: Brian Wren,
Delores Dufner, OSB,
Sylvia Dunstan, Richard
Leach, and Timothy
Dudley-Smith. In
