The immortal words of a beloved passage from the Book of Isaiah serve as the basis of this all-season offering. Beginning with a driving opening and then transitioning to a pastoral contrasting section, Joey Hoelscher’s “Go Up!” is exciting and unique.
This new communion offering blends new words and music with the favorite songs Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley and Wayfaring Stranger. With Lloyd Larson’s signature singable choral scoring and Pam Stewart’s thoughtful text, it’s easily prepared yet highly effective.
Mary Kay Beall’s heartfelt text is artfully set by veteran Claude L. Bass, creating a singable anthem which delivers a strong message of hope. The optional C-Instrument obbligato will add color and texture to the presentation.
With an optional children’s choir section (to the tune of “O Come, Little Children”) and a joyously lilting feel, this new Palm Sunday offering from Joseph Martin is delightful. This one sings easily and captures the spirit of the moment perfectly.
For Pentecost or any time during the year, this new anthem offering is spirited while maintaining a sense of mystery and wonder. Some imitative interplay among voices leads to a hushed “alleluia” conclusion.
