recommended by Jennifer F., Sacred Choral Music Specialist
Joyfully Sing! by Allen Pote, Unison with piano and optional flute
Seasoned composer Allen Pote has created a bright and lovely celebration of praise and thanksgiving to God for God’s gift of creation. The closing text reminds us that we are indeed all God’s children. It can be sung completely in unison, but the harmonized ending will be an exciting conclusion to the piece. Add the flute for an extra glow. Truly delightful!
Alleluia, Amen! arr. Vicki Hancock Wright, Unison/2-part with piano
“Alleluia, Amen!” is an energetic setting of a familiar hymn appropriate for children’s voices. It is a call for all to praise God and can be used at various times throughout the church year. Though it can be done completely in unison, there is an optional descant/response part that will provide an extra challenge for your more experienced singers.
The Everlasting Light by Tina English, Unison with piano and optional flute
Tina English has taken the immortal “O Little Town of Bethlehem” text and set it to a fresh new melody. Accordingly, the words can be heard anew as that first Christmas night is painted in rich new colors. Add the gentle (optional) flute obbligato for a lovely touch.
Give of Your Best by Vicki Hancock Wright, Unison with piano
A classic hymn text takes on a new shine with captivating music and a flowing accompaniment. The lilting, seamless melody is tuneful and memorable, helping children internalize the message to truly give their best and live the fullness of God’s love in their lives.
The Mighty Marvelous Mustard Seed arr. Vicki Hancock Wright, Unison with piano and optional percussion
With a rhythmic, pulsating accompaniment that builds expectation from the start, this song then grows into a full flowered celebration of faith. Based on the parable of the mustard seed, the text confidently proclaims, “God will supply our every need when we have the faith of a mustard seed!”
