This lovely arrangement of a brief, but artfully crafted movement from one of Mozart's masterworks is highly recommended for intermediate singers. With only a short phrase in Latin to learn, plenty of opportunities exist for exploring melodic stress and dynamic contrast in the rehearsal setting. Lilting and lyrical.

The chant-like treatment of the Psalm verses, in addition to creating a simply lovely setting, can also be a great exercise in sensitively conveying the meaning of the words through proper textual stress—a skill that can be applied to less lyrical pieces in the choral repertoire. The voice parts are minimal in scope (each roughly an octave), but the fluctuating accidentals will require some attention for tuning.

Francis Patrick O’Brien has written a new mass setting that speaks to the sensible and real needs of parish settings. Engaging congregational melodies are enhanced by simple—but never simplistic— SAB choral parts, both of which are supported by a versatile keyboard part. The instrumental parts for flute and trumpet may be used separately or together. Two settings of the Glory to God are included: a through-composed setting and a refrain setting.

UPC: 785147939207. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 23. Text by John Quincy Adams. Scripture: Psalm 23.
Although best known as the sixth President of the United States, John Quincy Adams’ great desire was to write poetry, upon hearing his words set to music by one of his contemporaries, he exclaimed his delight “as the organ pealed and the choir of voices sung the praise of Almighty God from the soul of David, adapted to my native tongue by me.” This setting was written for SAB choir, however, it could be sung by an SSA ensemble as well. The tune is original, but Meyer has written in the style of the music that Adams might have heard in his day.
