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 third volume in this series. Contains: When He Calls on Me • Not by Bread Alone • Hide Not Your Face • Hosanna • The Lord Is Truly Risen, Alleluia For cantor or soloist.

UPC: 785147901501. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 69. Text by Marty Haugen.

Psalm 69, a psalm of deep lament, is given a stark treatment in this setting. It is a crying out by any community that witnesses injustice or persecution, whether first-hand or on a global level. In the words of the composer, “I imagined that…those singing might hear their own song of lament resonating and repeating from others in the assembly.”.

English. Text source: Psalm 96. Text by Isaac Watts. Scripture: Psalm 96.

Don’t be misled by the title! This most familiar carol of Isaac Watts is set to the Sacred Harp tune paxton in a shape-note style calling for rollicking, exuberant, full-throated singing. Alternating between a cappella and verses accompanied by organ with detached reed stop articulation, this “Joy to the World” will wake up slumbering infants and let the choir sing with abandon!

Add a touch of shapednote singing this Christmas.

Although the diatonic harmonies seem a bit unexpected at times, they are well worth any extra attention you might have to pay them! And the homophonic treatment of the piece allows the listener to comprehend and appreciate the seventeenth-century text, which tells of Jesus as the light dispelling the darkness.
