New Music is on the Way!

Here are a few new titles on the way:

O Church Arise I can see this as a lovely Pentecost anthem.

I Will Sing of My Redeemer would be wonderful during Eastertide or any Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Return to God is a heartfelt plea suitable for Lent.  The lush harmonies are challenging, but so, so beautiful.

While I was looking around, I found this exquisite Kyrie from Memorial which was written in remembrance of 9/11.  The text is the kyrie which is simple plea for mercy--Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy)--but the setting is dense, lush, and challenging.  I think we could do it with advance practice.  The question is:  would we want to tackle it?  Let me know what you think.

Here's another Kyrie, in three parts, which includes Dona Nobis Pacem.

Here's a Kyrie by Bradley Ellingboe that is just beautiful and has a lovely organ part, too!  It's less dirgy than others I've heard.

Happy New Year!
