In 2015, Fr. Paulo Tanzini, former pastor of Church of the Assumption in Emerson, NJ, commissioned me to write a piece for the fiftieth anniversary of the building to be celebrated in mid-August of the same year during the recognition of Mary's Assumption. Although this was to be a fiftieth year jubilee, the parish had been in existence for many decades prior, and many of the choir members had been parishioners since the construction of the new building and some even before.Myidea was to ask the choir members to participate in this piece by expressing their thoughts regarding their devotion to Mary, and from their writing I would assemble their words into a lyric.

Initially, A Prayer to Mary was composed as a unison/octave setting, after which I arranged it for SATB with piano accompaniment. Most important in the performance of this piece is to approach it with a generous amount of expression and rubato in several areas so that the meanings of the individual lyric phrases become meaningful and not just words.


I have included chord symbols in the score for those who wish to personalize their own accompaniments; however, chord symbols do not, and in several cases cannot capture the exact content of the accompaniment. It would be beneficial to analyze the content of the written accompaniment before assuming that the chord symbols reflect the exact harmony.


A Prayer To Mary can be appropriately performed during Mother's Day, the celebration of The Assumption of Mary in mid-August, as a communion meditation or any time during which special devotions are warranted.

Composed by David Foley. Piano Accompaniment. Advent, Christmas, General Worship. Octavo. 8 pages. Hope Publishing - Digital #C5961DP. Published by Hope Publishing - Digital (H1.C5961DP).

David Foley. Luke 1:46-56.

Original composition This original composition from Dave Foley is a gentle, contemplative setting of Mary's Magnificat from Luke 1:46-56, useful during Advent, Christmas, or general worship. The option for a female soloist at the start lends itself to Mary's praise and thanks to the Lord for her child to come. Along with simple but lush accompaniment, this hymn of praise quietly glorifies God for the gift Mary carries that is about to change the world.

Composed by John O. Sullivan. A Cappella,Christmas,Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. John O. Sullivan #5726453. Published by John O. Sullivan (A0.961610).

This is a charming little Christmas carol based on the nursery rhyme Mary had a little lamb. The SATB choir with soprano solo is set as a Spanish lullaby (imagine castanets and tambourines).  It can also be performed as a soprano solo, a cappella.   

Lyrics begin:  The Virgin Mary, when a child, had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow: and everywhere that Mary went the little lamb was sure to go.... When she grew to be a woman, the Holy Ghost came down from heav'n above: and she conceived a tiny Lamb, the Lamb of God: God's Holy Light.

A sacred Christmas hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.

Text:
God is our Father who gives gracious gifts:
One stunning star staging light
Came as no other to all who could see.
It came as a gift in the night.

God sent his angels to urge shepherds there,
Singing sweet chords of true peace.
Messaging “Fear not� to those who would hear
Relayed words which never will cease.

God sent a Baby, his first spirit Son,
Down from his heaven above.
This Christmas Gift was his greatest of all:
He sacrificed pure living Love.

God’s Christmas gift came to us on that morn,
Meant to be loved and to lift.
Jesus, this new Babe who filled Mary’s arms,
Was Father’s supreme Christmas gift.

Jesus, our Savior, our true (best) Christmas gift,
Was born so we always will live.

A beautiful Christmas lullaby hymn.  Music by Kevin G. Pace (ASCAP).  Text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.

Text:
When I hold my baby, when tiny cries are heard,
I can feel God’s message, sent with sacred words.
Now blanketed in love and wrapped in newborn light,
I will hold my Jesus, born this Christmas night.

Lullaby baby, sweet baby of mine, slumber will dry ev’ry tear.
Lullaby baby, sweet Jesus so mild, angels will ever be near.

When I hold my baby and sense an Infant crown,
I can feel God’s purpose, swaddled all around.
Now comforted from heav’n and soothed from sacred skies,
I will hold my Jesus, born from love on high.

Lullaby baby, sweet baby of mine, Father will chase ev’ry fear.
Lullaby baby, sweet Jesus so mild, angels will ever be near.

A beautiful, lilting, Christmas lullaby (hymn).  Music by Kevin G. Pace.  Text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.

Text:
Hush, my baby, infant Lord,
you will be worshiped and adored.
When I think of what will be,
Father watches privately.
Though I am your mother now,
you will teach the world how
sharing love with grace for all
is your holy, sacred call.
Love for all is your call
Spreading through the world; this is your call.

Hush, my baby born this night,
sleeping beneath star's Christmas lights.
As you take each mortal breath,
Father watches 'til your death.
Though I am your mother now,
you will teach the world how
sharing love has always been
very, very deep within.
Love within now begins
spreading through the world; Let love begin.
