Your Name Is To Be Praised

$2.50

During the era that the Old Testament was written, a name was an identity. Names had, among other purposes, an explanatory purpose. Throughout scripture God reveals Himself to us through His Names. The meaning behind the Names of God were used to describe the Attributes of God in the affairs of mankind. This Anthem provides the Hebrew names of God as well as the meanings in intricate polyphonic texture with full piano and organ accompaniment. 

The Gospel Train

ROCK DE CRADLE MARY

$2.10

This contemporary composition enhances the original “lined-spiritual” with great rhythmic drive, text painting and lush harmonies. It is a great addition to Christmas literature, though it could easily find its way into programs year-round. An ideal selection for festivals, honor choirs or worship settings. 

KEEP YOUR LAMPS TRIMMED AND BURNING

$2.40

A thoughtful arrangement of this well-known spiritual that highlights the historical integrity of the song. A sense of urgency is apparent through the build-up of textures and harmonies. An ideal selection for festivals, honor choirs, funerals or worship settings. 

I AM SEEKIN' FOR A CITY

$2.35

This spiritual, as with most, finds its origin in Scripture that emphasizes liberation from a life filled with hard trials and death, such as 1 Corinthians 15:42–44; 2 Corinthians 4:17, 18; and Revelation 21:1–4, 10–27. For believing slaves, the eschatology of spirituals (e.g., “The Holy City,” “The Promised Land,” “The New Jerusalem”) emphasizes heaven as the goal at the end of their arduous journey. An ideal selection for festivals, honor choirs, funerals or worship settings. 

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

A refreshing setting that introduces a new melodic and harmonious thought to this well known hymn. An ideal selection for festivals and honor choirs; it is also appropriate for funerals or worship settings.

The lush harmonies and modulations of “No Dyin’ There” provide an excitement that make it an ideal selection for festivals and honor choirs; it is also appropriate for funerals or worship settings. The articulations, spontaneous modulations, and dotted slurs indicating “no breath” are intentional and vital.

—Jerrell R. Gray
