Arise and Eat: New Titles for Communion Monday, May 12, 2025
recommended by Jennifer F., Sacred Choral Music Specialist
Arise and Eat by Victor C. Johnson, SATB with piano
This tender Victor Johnson anthem for Communion boasts a warm melody artfully married to a thoughtful lyric by Rose Aspinall. The music features shimmering harmonies and beautiful modulations, and the text meaningfully reminds us to “remember how He took our sin and loved us back to life again.”
Remember, Remember Me by Jack Schrader, SAB with piano
For communion and especially meaningful for Maundy Thursday, this Jack Schrader ballad is a moving choral setting of Jesus’ words at the Last Supper. The beautifully crafted piano accompaniment, for which Jack is so well known, supports the compelling vocal lines.
