Novello New Choral Series-In Out of the south cometh the whirlwind chant-like melodies and colourful organ writing combine to explore the relationship between God and the natural world. Awarded a 2011 King James Bible Composition Award the work uses rich language from the Book of Job to chart a trajectory from doubt toward belief. At the opening lyrical melodies build from a single pitch to proclaim the majesty of the ?wondrous works of God.?

Uses: General Call To WorshipScripture: Psalm 66; Psalm 100This call to praise is a great opener or special anthem for service or concert use.

from Journey of Promises-From the highly successful cantata Journey of Promises comes this joyful advent proclamation “Arise and Shine! Your Light Has Come!” based on scripture from the prophecy of Isaiah. Joseph Martin's adaptationof these hopeful words is set to the popular English tune “Sussex Carol.” Brant Adams has provided a luscious orchestration that is a spectacular option for churches with instrumental resources.

Overflowing with joy this song based on Jesus' miraculous healing of a blind man is one of the most original octavos of recent publications! Infused with a quasi-Latin musical sensibility the melody is instantly attractive delivering the refrain with rhythmic vitality and engaging harmonies. As the story is told the contrasting lyrical section allows the piece to breathe as the choir becomes the troubadour sharing the graceful touch of Jesus and His love. Don't miss this one!

Sam Pegg's A Child Of The Snows for SATB choir and Piano accompaniment is a setting of a poem by G. K. Chesterton. Chesterton was known as an avid traveller and was a friend to all he met on his wanderings. In his own house he was famed for his warmth and hospitality. For him the inn was almost a spiritual symbol. 'In all of my settings of his poems I have tried to convey the sense of a yearning journey of life coupled with the joy of finding something thought lost forever: we travel to a place that if we are truthful we never really left. In A Child of the Snows I have tried to suggest the wandering wondering journey to the next staging post 'the Inn at the end of the world'. - Sam Pegg There is heard a hymn when the panes are dim And never before or again When the nights are strong with a darkness long And the dark is alive with rain. Never we know but in sleet and in snow The place where the great fires are That the midst of the earth is a raging mirthAnd the heart of the earth a star. And at night we win to the ancient innWhere the child in the frost is furled We follow the feet where all souls meetAt the inn at the end of the world. The gods lie dead where the leaves lie red For the flame of the sun is flown The gods lie cold where the leaves lie gold And a Child comes forth alone.
