Around the Throne
– By Raymond Haan
This jubilant song provides vivid imagery of the everlasting Heavenly celebration promised in Scripture, as well as how it is possible – through the sacrifice made by Jesus on the cross. The work was originally scored for SATB, organ, and handbells (piano could substitute for either). An SATB and piano score is also available. The choral parts are identical between the two versions, including the placement of line and page breaks. |

Choral Prelude on “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel”
– Arr. Leonard Danek
This work offers a new twist on the traditional Advent tune. The repeating eighth-note chords in the left hand provide the backdrop under the legato melody. At around two and a half minutes in length, this quiet piece works well as a short prelude. This work was performed, by the composer, on American Public Media's Pipedreams.

Evening Service in A
– By Peter Pindar Stearns
This two-part work for SATB choir and organ celebrates the Lord's greatness and mercy. The text of the first movement is based on the Magnificat, or Song of Mary (Luke 1:46-55), while the second text is from the Nunc dimittis, commonly known as the Song of Simeon (Luke 2:29-32). The difficulty level of this piece may be more appropriate for experienced choirs. The total work is around seven minutes in length. Either movement may be used independently. |
