The familiar tune ST. CATHERINE becomes a worthy vehicle for Alan Hommerding's text as arranged here by Wolfgang Lampert in a baroque-like style. The well-written organ part and counter-melodies (or optional flute line) support the unison choir in verses 1 and 3, verse 2, set for four-part chorus a cappella, is an unexpected delight and features an alternate choral harmonization.

Hymn Texts by Alan Hommerding. Composed by Alan Hommerding. Sacred. GIA Publications #006433. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-006433).

Breath of Christ presents more than 50 hymn texts written since Alan's previous collection, Song of the Spirit. Some of these have appeared in anthem settings or hymnals, others are completely new. Many are set to music created specifically for this collection. The poetic texts range from the intellectually stimulating to the immediately practical for use throughout the liturgical year. Some, like “Advent Wreath Hymn” or “Interfaith Thanksgiving Hymn,” have specific uses. Others, like “Song of Joseph” and “Hymn for Healers” will be appropriate at a variety of times throughout the year. .

SATB a cappella, voice soloist or voice soloists

SKU: GI.G-008826

Composed by Alan Hommerding. Arranged by Alan Hommerding. OT 6 Year C, OT 23 Year A, OT 27 Year A, Children. Tune Name: Beams Of Love. Sacred. Octavo. 4 pages. GIA Publications #008826. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-008826).

UPC: 641151088266. English.

Alan has skillfully arranged this African American spiritual so that your choir sounds great when the notes on the page come alive. The animated choral refrain is set in contrast to the soloist‚ verses with the choir singing ooh‚ underneath the melody. With a little work, this will become a choir and congregation favorite. You will probably want to add simple percussion or hand claps as the spirit moves you. Uses: Prayer, Mercy, Resurrection, Eternal Life, OT 6 C.

This addition to the WorshipWorks. series explores the merits of the texts we sing in worship. Whether you are the person responsible for evaluating sung texts for your community or someone who crafts texts for sung prayer (be they your community‚ intercessions or your own musical compositions), author Alan Hommerding offers helpful insights and practical tools to help you. His background as a hymn writer, a pastoral musician, and an editor of the musical texts of others well qualifies him to author this useful little volume. Words That Work for Worship .approaches the task of text evaluation from two perspectives. In the first section of the book, the various ways that the tenets of the Christian faith should‚Äîand shouldn't‚Äî be offered in song are examined. Particular attention is paid to scriptural adaptation. In the second half, the use of imagery, metaphor, rhyme, and other devices of language are presented briefly. This section includes some simple writing exercises. Throughout, the stress is on the care that we must take to create and select the words that we musicians put in the mouths of our worshiping assemblies. Words That Work for Worship .provides the critical tools that will help your community to sing God‚ praises faithfully and beautifully.
