Let Us Break Bread Together arr. Albin Whitworth
Nine communion hymn settings for organ arranged by Albin C. Whitworth. Titles include: “Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed,” “Close to Thee,” “In the Cross of Christ I Glory,” “Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross,” “Jesus Paid It All,” “Let Us Break Bread Together,” “My Faith Looks Up to Thee,” “Spirit of God, Descend Upon My Heart,” and “Whiter Than Snow.”
Let Us Break Bread Together arr. Daniel Burton
This collection represents a variety of well-known communion hymns written in a creative, yet accessible style. For manuals only. Titles include: “Be Known to Us in Breaking Bread,” “Bread of the World,” “Come, My Way, My Truth, My Life,” “Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness,” “Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face,” “I Come with Joy,” and “Let Us Break Bread Together.”
Three Communion Meditations arr. David Maxwell
This set includes beautiful settings of well-known hymn tunes “Picardy,” “Wondrous Love,” and “Amazing Grace” that organists will find useful over and over again. While perfect for use during Communion, each piece is substantial enough to stand on its own. Maxwell has called for specific colors with his registrations, but any organist will find these arrangements playable on almost any size instrument and with little work.
Communion Mosaics arr. Jacob B. Weber
This is the tenth edition in the popular Mosaics series by Jacob B. Weber. Communion Mosaics features organ settings that are useful as preludes or hymn introductions during distribution. The collection is bookended with a delightful trumpet tune on “O Living Bread from Heaven” and three variations on “At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing” (Introduction, Interlude, and Coda), which are useful as a combined prelude or interspersed with hymn singing. Other hymns include “Jesus Comes Today with Healing,” “I Come, O Savior, to Your Table,” “O Gracious Lord, I Firmly Am Believing,” and “What Is This Bread.”
In Communion by Charles Callahan
If you have served “on the bench” for any denomination that celebrates the Lord’s Supper, these settings will help you get through the panic when Communion takes longer than planned or the choir doesn’t have enough people to sing the scheduled anthem. They are based on familiar hymns and are grouped by key centers so that they may be played one after the other.
Communion Interludes (Organ Settings of Eucharistic Hymns) arr. Robert Lau
Organists always need suitable repertoire for communion, and the ever-practical Robert Lau has provided eight easy and useful settings of familiar communion hymns that appear in most hymnals. The settings are intentionally brief so as to provide flexible combination options for the variable length of communion distribution. Titles include: “Be Present at Our Table, Lord (with Come with Us, O Blessed Jesus),” “Bread of the World,” “Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face,” “Humbly I Adore Thee,” “I Come with Joy to Meet My Lord,” “Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence,” “Let Us Break Bread Together on Our Knees,” and “Theme and Variations on O God, Unseen, Yet Ever Near.”
