Communion

This volume devised by Martin Weyer contains organ music of easy to medium technical difficulty for use at communion. The broad range of styles encompasses Johann Sebastian Bach and early Classical works through to the late Romantic period.

The album contains original compositions and first publications as well as arrangements for organ and twelve pieces for communion in settings by Johann Sebastian Bach with melodies and texts appropriate to communion. Some of the pieces can also be performed with solo instruments (in C, Bb or F). Corresponding instrumental parts are included with the score.

There is a familiar folk-like quality to this memorable melody and an intimate text that summons up all of the emotions involved in the sacrament of communion. Gently flowing lyric and accompaniment create a warm and invitingcall to the Lord's Table. A Communion Invitation is both tender and profound much like the love of Christ whose feast we prayerfully celebrate.

Uses: Holy Week Good Friday Communion Scripture: Isaiah 53:7: John 1:29: Revelation 9:7-9 This powerful song of grace has become a congregational standard in a very short time. From contemporary hymn writers Keith Getty and Stuart Townend this reverent look at the Lamb of God is ideal for Holy Week or communion services. The arrangement dresses this meaningful song in choral clothing and the orchestral option is a tasteful addition. Score and Parts (ac gtr elec bass dm vn 1-2 va vc) available as a digital download.

Uses: Christmas CommunionScripture: Luke 2:8-9; I Corinthians 11:23-29At the plaintive strains of Silent Night this sensitively designed anthem of reflection rises like a prayer to call thechurch to the grace of God's table. Surrounded by tender music this song delivers candlelit sonorities and cloistered chords to match the contemplative nature of the text. As the final verse issues a challenge for us to take thegift to the world an effective crescendo raises the call before allowing the anthem to end in peaceful calm as it began. Violin (or C-instrument) part included. Duration: ca. 4:16.
