A cappella Anthems
Bethlehem Procession - Glorysound A 7526 As the men begin with the drum-like, “Come, O come...,” the women soar with a lyrical line which beckons the listener to join the procession to see the Christ child. The piece builds to a joyous call to “come, see the shining light,” then gradually fades into the distance. You can almost feel the procession as it goes by. The optional bongos, tambourine and finger cymbals will make this anthem especially dramatic. A perfect piece to begin a program or to help tell the story of the wise men (Epiphany). Down to the Water to Pray – Glorysound
A 7681 Fill-a-Me-Up - Monarch 10/2807M (New SAB with Spanish text: 10/3439M) This has an African/spiritual feel and includes optional percussion that really makes it cook. This has already received a great response in churches AND schools. Performance/Accomp CD: 99/1717M Give Us Peace-Glorysound A 7311 from my CD PSALMS OF THE WOOD. This can be sung with or without piano. Hem of Your Robe – Alfred A bestseller! Inspired by a passage from Matthew 14: 35-36, this is an original spiritual, sung a cappella with optional shaker How Long? - Lorenz
10/4172L One of the most asked questions of faith. The
verses begin, “How long ‘til this world is free from suffering?”
“Press on, let faith and hope sustain you.”
“Send me until the love of heaven will descend and peace will reign again.”
Perfect for the tenth anniversary of 9/11. I'm Going Home -
Glorysound ( Jazz Hosanna - Fred Bock Music BG2303 Really cool
and creative. This works well with
piano and guitar. You can leave off
the last measure. Lay Up Your Treasures – Lorenz 10/1461M (new TTBB: 10/3766) My assignment was to write a stewardship piece - not an easy subject. So I went to the words of Jesus as recorded in Matthew. This has appeared in the American Choral Director’s National Convention reading session. Let All the
People Say Amen – Monarch 10/3611M Lord
Have Mercy – Lorenz 10/4093 view A cappella written straight from the
heart. A prayer for others who are in
need with each verse ending,
“Lord have mercy on People Who Walk in Darkness – Monarch 10/3174 This is also included in the cantata, I HEAR THE PROPHET CALLING Rejoice in the Hope – Church Street Press (SSATTB) More challenging a cappella,
commissioned by the Reap
What You Sow – Lorenz 10/4048L view A cool reflective a cappella: “What you
plant in love will surely bloom and the fruit of the Spirit will come back to
you.” Row Together to the Kingdom - Alfred 23693 A cappella. Upon
This Rock – Lorenz 10/3906L During its
first year, this was the bestseller of all Lorenz releases. Walking Cross the
Sea– Monarch 10/3513M (TTBB also available) This has a slow rocking spiritual feel.
This has piano, rhythm section and Gospel organ, but it works perfectly as an a cappella piece. We Are Not Alone We Fall Down – Lorenz 10/3928L Accomp CD and rhythm parts available, though this works as an a cappella piece. |
