St Helen's church in Hollinfare celebrated its 500th anniversary in 1997 and invited the gentlemen of Manchester Cathedral Choir to sing at the celebratory service.
The service included a Te Deum and Jubilate, which I wrote especially for the purpose.
The Te Deum is a full setting with organ and alto, tenor and bass singers.
The Jubilate is a psalm chant.
Both are available on this site.
The sound sample in each case is the original performance.
The words of the Te Deum are:
We praise thee, O God : we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee : the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud :
 the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim : continually do cry, Holy, Holy, Holy : Lord God of Hosts;
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty : of thy glory. The glorious company of the Apostles : praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets : praise thee. The noble army of Martyrs : praise thee. The holy Church throughout all the world : doth acknowledge thee;
The Father : of an infinite Majesty; Thine honourable, true : and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost : the Comforter. Thou art the King of Glory : O Christ. Thou art the everlasting Son : of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man : thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb. When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death : thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God : in the glory of the Father. We believe that thou shalt come : to be our Judge. We therefore pray thee, help thy servants : whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints : in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people : and bless thine heritage.
Govern them : and lift them up for ever.
Day by day : we magnify thee;
And we worship thy Name : ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord : to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us : have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us : as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted : let me never be confounded.

This wonderfully patriotic song about the Statue of Liberty will have your audiences on their feet. It embraces the contributions immigrants have made to this country. It’s perfect for Americana/Fourth of July-themed concerts. It features a major solo. The lyrics tell the story.

SOLO: Set sail across these waters over a wide and open sea
With my wife and my son and daughters to this land of Opportunity
Disembarking at Ellis Island feelings of pride came over me
As the veil of the mist that shrouded her lifted up I could clearly see
Standing tall she lifted my heart, revealing all I’d come to be
She holds the light for my rights, for my life, for my child, for my land

CHORUS: She stands for me. Lady Liberty lifted me up. She stands for me

 SOLO: Two hundred years we now flash forward at the dawn of this brave new world
As I stand with my eyes gazing upward she still stands with the light in her hand
It still shines as bright as it can be for those still longing to breathe free
Though by the waves we are tossed as we weather the storms she still shows us who we can be
Standing tall she lifted my heart, showing all we’d come to be
Stands for the lonely and lost and those tempest tossed she still stands

CHORUS: She stands for me. Lady Liberty lifted me up. She stands for me

 VARIOUS SOLOS: I am the farmer standing by my plow
The small business owner makes a go of it now
I am the dreamer through no fault of mine
But still wanting a life and a future that’s bright/ We are the couple blessed by eyes above
But stripped of our rights because of who we love 
We are the tired, the oppressed and the poor
The huddled masses at the golden door

CHORUS: We are a people of all colors and creeds
Together we’re strong in our diversity
Lady Liberty lifted me up. She stands for me.

We Three Kings re-written to commiserated with those epic walkers of old. Those of fantastic feet. Those with super sandals.
Arranged for three voices and piano.

Lyrics:
Tutti: We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
sandals flopping, without stopping
following yonder star.

Refrain:
O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
How far to this Nazarite?

King I: Born a King on Bethlehem's plain,
gold I bring to crown him again,
Walking ever, ceasing never,
Wowzers my leg’s in pain.

Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
Trav’lling on both day and night.

King II: Frankincense to offer have I;
incense owns a Deity nigh;
Real trail-blazing, it’s hair-raising,
Trudging along, I sigh. 

Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
Breaks are a true delight.

 King III: Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume
breathes a life of gathering gloom;
blisters bleeding, not conceding,
Where is the next bathroom? 

Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
Dunes are a gruesome sight.

 Tutti: Glorious now, at last we’ve arrived,
From our comforts we’ve been deprived:
Presents given, wish we’d been driven 
Don’t think my knees survived.

 Tutti: O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
West we followed, pain we swallowed,
Back we sorely trudge tonight.

 Comments as leave stage: What, all the way back again? Home again, jigged-jog. We just came all this way West and now we have to go back east?

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

In the last few years leading up to 2020, social division and dissent has risen across the world. This social division has been compounded by extreme social and physical isolation during the COVID-19 crisis. In light of these developments, I felt that this piece’s message was needed now in 2020 more than ever.

The tune Prospect is by far one of the most beautiful American melodies from the 1800s. The text was inspired by the beauty of human connection and the feelings we experience when parting ways: sadness and happy remembrance. The text attempts to invoke healing as we keep everyone we hold dear etched on our hearts. This arrangement is an accessible, early intermediate arrangement for SAB chorus.       - Christopher Durigg.
