The alternation of 5/4 and 6/4 meters adds interest to this lyrical tune. Two vocal parts alternate as well in the opening verses, adding the congregation and a descant for the final verse. Note that the last two measures ask for each vocal part to divide into dyads. A reproducible unison part (hymnal version) is included in the octavo.

Russell Schulz-Widmar's original music is beautifully wrapped around the eloquent poetry of theologian and parish priest, William H. Vanstone (1923-1999). The text speaks of the costly nature of God's love for the world, and reminds us that God is not distant, but deeply involved in all our pain and grief. Scored for two-part mixed choir, the writing is both moving and accessible. Include this anthem during Lent and in services of healing and care.

From 1717 to 1718, Handel composed eleven multi-movement, psalm-based anthems, commonly known as the Chandos Anthems (he was resident composer for the First Duke of Chandos during this period). is setting of verses from Psalm 96 is drawn from Anthem 4b, “O Sing unto the Lord a New Song” (HWV 249b). Chepponis’ thoughtful editing and arranging of this gem—based on original sources, as well as practical considerations— make it accessible to many choirs that may not have the luxury of a large SATB choir. Listen to the recording and follow along with the score in this preview video:.

Joyful syncopations propel us forward in this educational concert or contest selection. Contemporary yet logical sonorities come to life for developing choirs building their skills within limited vocal ranges. Notice how the marcato beginning and end contrast with a B section that is a touch more legato. Though sung entirely in Latin, there are only two sentences of text and a pronunciation guide is included. Perfectly crafted for intermediate groups, with the precisely vocal ranges you're seeking!

UPC: 785147995708. English. Text by Kazuaki Tanahashi.
In my opinion our world is currently in great need of reestablishing strong connections one to another, be it with family and friends, neighbors and strangers, nations and nations, or with those of different cultures and religions. In his important book, I and Thou, philosopher-theologian Martin Buber says that the most meaningful life is centered on relationship. As a musician, I felt compelled to express the I-THOU thesis through the human voice. In searching for the right words to express this sentiment, I was fortunate to find Kazuaki Tanahashi’s eloquent poem, “Encounter.” Mr. Tanahashi is a poet, Zen artist, scholar and peace activist. This combined-voices version has been adapted from an SATB scoring that features prominently in the original song cycle, I-THOU, written for vocal quartet, commissioned and premiered in 2018 by Fourth Coast Ensemble in Chicago. —Wayland Rogers About the Series: Doreen Rao, 2019 Robert Shaw Award recipient, launches her culturally inclusive choral series, Global Encounters for Young Voices, featuring accessible treble- and mixed-voice works for developing choirs.
