Opening peacefully with the classic “In the Sweet By and By”, this anthem quickly segues to a foot-stomping southern gospel celebration of a “meeting in the air!” The infectious rhythms and harmonies in this fun song contain a message of hope and expectation.
Perfect for Good Friday or any time during Lent, this thoughtful anthem text beckons the listener to the foot of the “mercy tree” for healing and pardon. The music and text are fresh and inviting, while the piano and choral scoring are well-crafted.
Based on selected verses from Psalm 89, renowned composer René Clausen’s newest creation is an expansive proclamation of praise. Careful choral layering and rich vocal harmonies come together to create a glorious anthem. Optional piano part (in lieu of organ) available as a free download.
These a cappella “miniatures” were written for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, respectively. The Tenebrae texts are based on two scripture passages and set the stage for the joy of Easter Sunday. Beautiful!
Dan Schutte’s modern classic “Here I Am, Lord” is seamlessly paired with a beloved hymn to create an inspired new setting of these favorites. Mary McDonald’s careful craftsmanship shines through in this offering. SATB voicing also available.
