Promises Of Isaiah 

Words by Michael Barrett 

Music by Michael Barrett and David Angerman 

Uses: Advent, Christmas 


Truly memorable for Advent, this joyful 

treatment of the familiar Isaiah passage, “For 

unto us a Child is born,” is a new approach 

to this Scripture. Written in a “lite” jazz style, 

the shifting meters of the chorus are easy to 

learn and add great energy to the impact of the anthem. The flute 

descants are idiomatic to the instrument and offer a real change 

of pace for the Advent season. As much fun to sing as it is to hear, 

this will be a choir favorite in no time.

Quem Vidistis 

By Nicholas White 

Uses: Christmas, Concert 

This movement from the composer’s larger work, Alleluia! Puer natus 

est nobis is a sensitive, almost haunting setting of the traditional 

Latin text. A repeated chaconne-like progression forms the 

foundation of the work while a soprano solo rises like a prayer 

above the choral texture. Gentle dissonance requires a purity of 

tone and a careful attention to dynamics and balance. 


22 

Did You Hear The Song? 

Words by Adam M. L. Tice 


Uses: Christmas, Christmas Eve, Epiphany 

Scripture: Matthew 1:18-25; Matthew 2:1-12 

This setting of a dramatic sacred poem depicts characters from the 

Christmas story confronting an important question of faith. The 

bass section is given a pivotal musical role in this anthem and the 

expressive echoes of “Gloria” create a shimmering beauty that is 

highly effective. 


23 

The Winter Carols 

Words and Music by Terry Esau 

Uses: Concert, Christmas 

Scripture: Luke 2 

A new tradition is born in this set of 

expressive carols based on original poetry 

by the composer. The writer, Terry Esau, was 

inspired by the Alfred Burt Carol legacy, and 

in this set he has gathered together a winsome 

grouping of his own holiday songs. There is a 

rich harmonic vocabulary in his writing that wonderfully cradles 

the thoughtful texts with gentle beauty.

Music from 

Sing Praise! 

By Allan Robert Petker 

Pavane Publishing 

Uses: Praise 


Power, strength and majesty are the words 

that best describe this setting of Psalm 150. 

Written for organ and optional brass, the 

opening builds to the choir’s entry. A unison 

choral statement ensues that is noble and 

direct. Following a softer middle section, the piece returns to the 

opening material to a glorious conclusion.

Those Who Wait upon 

the Lord 

Music by Kevin Memley 

Words from Isaiah 40:31 

Pavane Publishing 

Uses: Reflection, Concert 


Once you begin hearing this piece you are 

drawn in...you want to sing it. The “eagle’s 

wings” text is one of the most frequently set 

to music, and yet this one sounds like it has always been there, 

but not revealed until now. The essence of “wait” is captured in 

the opening section which gives way to a new tempo, building 

with the “mounting on wings.” The true soaring takes place with 

a 12/8 meter, voices building in triumph. A final return to the 

“waiting” theme provides an assurance that has permeated the 

entire composition.

Mark Hayes 

What a Wonderful 

World 

Arranged by Mark Hayes 

Though earlier recorded by many artists, Louis 

Armstrong’s 1971 rendition made this a hit in 

1988 and established it as a standard among 

songs. The optimistic message regarding 

the future is beautifully captured in Mark’s 

orchestrated choral of lush and full harmonies 

and will certainly become a classic.

In the Bleak Midwinter 

Arranged by Jay Rouse 

The famous words of Christina Rossetti and 

the music of Gustav Holst are beautifully set

more contemporary choral setting that is 

known in Jay’s work. A stunning selection for 

your choir and audience.

Arranged by Mark Hayes 

Beginning with the key anthem from the civil 

rights movement, We Shall Overcome, Mark 

Hayes leads the singer into Bill Wither’s song, 

Lean On Me, creating a powerfully moving 

ballad of inspiration, hope, and courage. The 

orchestration adds even more spirit.
