Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.939683 Composed by Richard St. Clair. 20th Century,A Cappella,Christian,Praise & Worship. Octavo. 25 pages. Richard St. Clair #3000615. Published by Richard St. Clair (A0.939683). This is a setting of Today's Lord's Prayer, a modern reworking of the traditional prayer found in the New Testament; the poem was found in the Episcopal New Book of Common Prayer of New Zealand. The MP3 Audio Clip is of the premiere performance in a church service by the choir of the Episcopal Church of Detroit, Michigan in 1997. The composer was singing in the bass section of the choir. The duration is about 7 1/2 minutes.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.719732 Composed by Various. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Sacred. Octavo. 11 pages. Curtis Hanson #4573009. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.719732). As years come and go, one increasingly recalls memories of earlier times. One of the most vivid and cherished memories I have while growing up is of Sunday mornings, going to church, sitting in the same pew each week with my grandmother, hearing and singing the beautiful hymns of our faith, and then returning home to the aroma of beef slowly roasting in the oven. My father directed the church choir, my mother and older brothers sang in the choir, so the wonderful music of our faith was instilled in me from an early age. This medley, and others in the series, are arrangements of many of my favorite hymns from those early years, many of which have been lost in more recent editions. For this series, I have elected to use the older texts as that is the way they were first written and the way I first learned them. There is a reverence and beauty in the language enriching the vocal/choral tone which, I believe, is lost in contemporary, conversational, or politically correct syntax. I shudder to think of the day when a penitential phrase such as Hear thou my prayer, O Lord is rendered as Hey, God-dude, listen up - I'm talkin' atcha! I have also opted not to include the many wonderful hymns and carols which are associated with the major festivals of Christmas and Easter as those are commonly found in other collections. A caveat: I have no delusions, and I offer no pretenses, that these settings are great art. They are simply expressions of faith which I hope may bring a small measure of joy to other church musicians. The general concept of each medley is to present the hymn, often in its original chorale form, and then vary its harmony or texture. The hymns in this set include Holy, Holy, Holy, For All the Saints, and A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.

Published by Emil Johansson (A0.1028154). This is a Dies Irae composed by Emil Johansson with a Swedish translation. This Choir work consists of sounds that are purely chaotic and represent the doomsday pretty well. There is a lot of dissonances in this work so if your Choir in Church wants to perform it be prepared. The work finishes with a big A major chord to show the listeners the arrival in heaven.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.540614 Composed by Corey Cerullo. Contemporary,Graduation. Octavo. 6 pages. Cerullo Music LLC #4984797. Published by Cerullo Music LLC (A0.540614). I wrote this arrangement for my high school graduation as a project for my select choir to sing. The text is so universal that I thought it would be a good challenge to set it in a way that was relevant to my current classmates and one that would be well received. It is an understated work in terms of length, but the message is nonetheless powerful and could serve well for your farewell concerts or graduations. The choir does split in parts but only for moments to give richness to certain chords and text. .

Stanford Swim #6625885. Published by Stanford Swim (A0.890622). This arrangement gives a stirring, familiar hymn a fresh setting that is still easy for a choir to learn.  Voicing is in standard congregational range (soprano tops out at E-flat, and bass goes down to F).  After an accompanied verse in unison, the choir sings the second verse a cappella and introduces some new harmonies.  At the end of the second verse, the piano re-enters, modulates from A-flat to B-flat, and the third verse begins in majestic unison.  A brief minor passage transitions back to a build that carries all the way through the end.  .
