This hymn concertato on Holst's noble tune THAXTED provides two texts: one by Delores Dufner, OSB, for Pentecost/Confirmation, and Michael Perry's more familiar general text. The opening fanfare and interlude for brass, timpani, and handbells facilitate festive processions, but the piece may be adapted for use with only organ accompaniment. An elegant SATB harmonization of the middle stanza may be sung by choir alone.

English, Spanish. Psalm 19:8-15.

Fr. Jim Chepponis was commissioned to write a festive setting of Psalm 19 for the dedication of Christ Cathedral in Orange County, CA, in 2019. The result is what we've come to expect from this veteran composer. The optional instrumentation for flute, oboe, brass quintet, percussion, organ, and strings is perfect for a festive liturgy but can also be pared down for other occasions. The alternate refrains and different sets of verses make it work at multiple liturgies at which Psalm 19 is appointed. Both assembly and choral writing is very singable. The icing on the cake is that it can be done in English, Spanish, or a combination of the two.

Jazz Hodie (On this Day Earth Shall Ring)
PERSONENT HODIE arr. Ken Litton (ASCAP)

Those who have the good fortunate to hear Gustav Holst’s arrangement of PERSONENT HODIE as a choral processional with its engaging melody, measured gait and echoed text have never forgotten the magical moment—and were never really ready for it to end. Hailing from the The Oxford Book of Carols this German plainsong melody—from the Piae Cantones, 1583—has made its way into strong choral and worship traditions at Advent/Christmas.
Of all the current texts and arrangements available, this version honors Holst’s unison accompanied setting in an unexpected subtle jazz styling, with the hope of bringing additional range to its established place in advent literature (both in terms of style and in appeal to a variety of age groups). 
And, On This Day Earth Shall Ring, translated by Jane M. Joseph  (text in the public domain) gives it just the traditional touch needed for Jazz Hodie (On this Day).
This SATB setting of the tune offers accompaniment designed for piano or organ, optional acoustic/string bass and an optional part for a single player involving three of the percussionist section best friends in the : the suspended cymbal, mallets (vibraphone, marimba or bells or bell lyre), and a small triangle. It should be noted that an electronic piano/synthesizer voice could substitute well for the mallets and the use of handbells is also viable. Perfect for Lessons & Carols presentations!The unison singing and bell-tone echoes of the first stanza/refrain soon give way to smooth, contrasting jazz harmony. The choral ranges are very much within the reach of the average choir and the voicings vary from unison to three and four parts, followed by a return to the character of the opening. The piece builds toward a close with a choral ascent in the final bars and a bass line reminiscent of the first verse, but with an extra jazz twist. But, it can easily be restarted for processional use by simply dropping back into the C minor introduction’s bass line. Note: the String Bass/Electric Bass part is included!
Also available in a Hymn Sheet Version that includes everything needed for a small ensembe and/or the worshiping congregation.

Composed by Jonathan Adams. Advent. 6 pages. Duration 1 minute, 34 seconds. Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital #1.3497-E. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital (MQ.1.3497-E).

Latin. Psalms 80:2.

The text originally comes from Psalm 80:2. It is traditionally used on the third Sunday of Advent, the “Gaudete� or “Rejoicing� Sunday, when penitential exercises are suspended to symbolize the coming of the joyous Christmas season. The text, Excita, Domine, is also used in some churches for the “Stir Up Sunday,� on which Christmas puddings are made and literally “stirred up.� The beginning of the piece quotes the “Alleluia� from the original chant, and then moves from the austere to the joyful “Alleluia, excite� (Stir up thy strength, O Lord). The piece should move along quite briskly, symbolizing the joy and urgency of the text. -Jonathan Adams
