O Day of Peace - Full Score by Carol Lynn Mizell. Level 3. Full Score. Published by Chorister's Guild (LO.CGB732). The hymn tune JERUSALEM by Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918) serves as the tune for what is considered to be England's most popular patriotic song.

Daw, Jr. and is playable by handbells alone with optional parts for chimes, SATB chorus with soprano descant, and organ.

No Stone Could Hold Him - SATB Score with Performance CD. (A Dynamic Witness to the Living Rock of Our Salvation). By Lloyd Larson. For SATB choir, piano (with optional orchestration). Cantatas. Holy Week, Eastertide, Sacred. Choral score and performance CD. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.55-1156L). "No Stone Could Hold Him" is a spirited witness to the ministry, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Rock of our Salvation. Written by celebrated composer Lloyd Larson, this powerful work is filled with scripture-based images of Jesus as "A Rock in a Weary Land," even when tempted by Satan to "turn these stones to food;" as the Solid Rock on which we stand through "Winds of Change" and "Shifting Sand;" as Jerusalem's triumphant King who commands the rocks to keep silent; as the Cornerstone of our faith, betrayed and crucified; and as the risen Savior whom no stone could hold in the tomb. Inspired by these images, the music is bold and enlivening with rousing original music alongside energetic spirituals and gospel songs. This dramatic work is an exceptional choice for Easter worship with its seven choruses and options for duets and solos. It can also be performed during the Lenten season or Holy Week by omitting the final chorus.

The Way of the Cross Leads Home - SATB Score with CD (Following the Path of Salvation Through Hymns). By Mary McDonald; Jean Anne Shafferman. Arranged by Jean Anne Shafferman. For SATB choir, piano (with optional orchestration). Cantatas. Holy Week, Eastertide, Sacred. Choral score and performance CD. Published by Lorenz Publishing Company (LO.55-1153L). "The Way of the Cross Leads Home" by Mary McDonald is a powerful affirmation of our faith: that the path to everlasting life is found in Christ's journey to the cross. The music reflects Mary's deep roots in Christian hymnody and her belief that "hymns constitute our Christian heritage and provide a rich reservoir of spiritual guidance. It is through the singing of these great songs that we restate the purpose of our belief and the hope of our existence. The spiritual nourishment of these well-known texts supplies us with the reassurance that the Bible is true and God is real." The inspired combination of traditional hymn tunes and Mary's original melodies creates a seamless flow as the words of the hymns partner with the narrative to tell the story. Along the way, both performer and listener will pause to reflect upon and experience those events of 2,000 years ago--and to be reminded that, throughout this journey of faith, we have a Savior who will lead us to our eternal home.

Nick Barber's English Selection by Nick Barber. For C Instruments. Songbook. British Isles. Beginning-Intermediate. Book. 40 pages. Published by Dave Mallinson Publications (MB.AP109). ISBN 9781899512775. British Isles. 8.25" x 11.75" inches. This book was compiled for musicians who, though competent on their instrument, would like some help getting involved in the English folk session scene. It follows on from a previous Mally publication, Nick Barber's English Choice. A music session is like a conversation, and in order to take part you need certain basic tools. If youire going to join in with the tunes you hear being played, you need to know which tunes to expect. And if you plan to learn these tunes, you will probably find a printed version of the tune useful. If you plan to start a set of tunes during a session, you need to know which tunes other musicians would be likely to know and join in with. This book aims to present a selection of tunes for this purpose. Because there is an element of fashion in the repertoire of any session, I have tried to select tunes which have been around for years, and which no doubt will still be played for years to come. Wherever possible I have noted the sources of the tunes. If you like a particular tune, I would urge you to pursue it a little and go to the source, whether this is a manuscript, a published book, a recording or a real live musician. In the words of Barry Callaghan, "Tunes. . . have a life story, and have participated in the life stories of the countless musicians who have played them. . . they all come trailing their history." He goes on to encourage us to "look for the life stories as we meet further tunes". You will notice that I have included a few tunes of French and Danish origin - these tunes have been taken on board by English session players, and are played in an English style.
