Especially for church choirs during these times of online worship and social distancing, consider these new voicings of favorite anthems for smaller ensembles!
Bring Us Hope by Ruth Elaine Schram, 2-part mixed with piano and optional cello
Choirs large and small will find this flexible anthem to be a tender, readily learned addition to their Advent programs. The message touches on several prominent themes, making it an ideal option to return to again and again: “Bring us hope, bring us love, bring us peace from above.”
Come, Messiah! by Lloyd Larson, SAB with piano and optional oboe & percussion
This buoyant anthem by Lloyd Larson will be readily learned and appreciated by choirs large or small. “O come, Divine Messiah, the world in silence waits the day when hope shall sing its triumph, and sorrows flee away.” The delightful piano accompaniment along with optional oboe and light percussion make this fresh consideration for Advent.
Creation Will Be at Peace by Anna Laura Page, SSA with piano
An ardent prayer for peace based upon the famous Advent prophecy in Isaiah 11: 6-9, this compelling anthem features an unforgettable melody supported by a powerfully flowing accompaniment. Dedicated to Peggy Say, sister of former hostage Terry Anderson, its message is universal and its music certain to be cherished by choir and congregation alike.
The Work of Christmas by Dan Forrest, TTBB with piano
The beautiful, thoughtful, a cappella SATB chorus setting of the Howard Thurman text is now available arranged for SSAA Choir with piano and TTBB Choir with piano. It offers the challenge to live out the Christmas story in very practical ways.
