Come, Spirit, Come: Especially for Pentecost Wednesday, April 12, 2023
recommended by Jennifer F., Sacred Choral Music Specialist
Come, Spirit, Come by Lloyd Larson, SATB with piano
A lovely new setting of the ancient text: “Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest, and in our hearts take up Your rest….come, Spirit, come and make us whole.” Suitable for Pentecost or general worship.
Peter Gonna Preach by Larry Shackley, SATB a cappella
Larry Shackley and John Parker combine their talents to bring us this new anthem for Pentecost. Written for a cappella choir and a rousing solo, this anthem is bursting at the seams with life and vitality. Your basses will love being featured on the chorus, and, toward the end of the anthem, an ostinato section brings the anthem to a thrilling conclusion. “Peter gonna preach ’bout the glory of the Son of God!”
Breathe On Me, Breath of God by Lloyd Larson, SATB with piano
Edwin Hatch the lyricist, Robert Jackson the hymn writer and Lloyd Larson the arranger join forces to create this beautiful setting of “Breathe on Me, Breath of God.” Although Pentecost is the logical choice for this selection, the quiet lyricism of the anthem make it a perfect choice for a prayer response throughout the year.
