This is one of the most moving anthems you will find. Master composer and arranger Lloyd Larson has taken the well-known, but anonymously written, affirmation of faith, “I believe in the sun even when it is not shining,” and set it to music. To complement this beautiful affirmation, he pairs it with one of the most cherished passages in all of Scripture, Mark 9:24. This truly inspired anthem will move your listeners and minister to those who are hurting or dealing with doubt.

I composed this setting in my last weeks of study at Westminster Choir College. The Latin text (Sine paenitentia enim sunt dona et vocatio Dei) translates roughly to “Truly, without regret are the gifts and callings of God.” This piece serves not only as an outward affirmation for all to embrace and use their God-given talents, but also as an inward mantra for myself, as I move into an uncertain period in my life after completing my undergraduate studies. Many of the colors and textures found within this piece were influenced by my experience singing with the Westminster Williamson Voices for two years. While the “sine paenitentia” text may allow shades of doubt to creep in, all uncertainty and fear is dispelled upon singing “sunt dona et vocatio Dei.” —Cortlandt Matthews Here is an amazing performance by The Westminster Williamson Voices at the Choral Insititute at Oxford. Ryan Manni, Conductor.

This music drama is approximately nine minutes in length and is perfect for incorporation into regular worship on Palm/Passion Sunday. John Parker’s inspired narrative opens the work with shouts of “Hosanna!” as Jesus enters Jerusalem. Mark Hayes’s score enters with growing intensity, and the choir sings a triumphant anthem of praise. The mood changes during the first interlude, as the high priests plot against Jesus, and the music beautifully underscores the scripture-based narrative. The second chorus conveys the scene at the Last Supper with haunting melodies and a lyrically flowing accompaniment. The mood of the following interlude is one of steadfast faith, quoting the hymn “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” Its narrative is inspired by Philippians 2:5–11. The final chorus is a majestic yet reflective affirmation of faith in praise to Jesus, Who was faithful to His final breath.
