CHRISTMAS Mary At Christmas Dur. ca. 3' SATB Chorus & 3.5 Octave Handbells SATB Chorus & Piano SATB Chorus, French Horn, & Piano This delightful choral anthem features a setting of Father Nabil Mouanne's poem; "Mary At Christmas." The text explores Mary's different relationships to 'Christmas' and the eternal and accessible presence of Mary . The sopranos lead the way while the chorus responds in gentle echoes and precious polyphony. The pianistic accompaniment sustains waves of subtly shifting color before finishing with a bright flourish of octaves.

Arr. of Handel's No. 44 'Hallelujah Chorus' 2-Part Chorus & Keyboard* Don't have enough men, strong readers, or rehearsal time to do Handel's "Hallelujah?" Well, now you can! This simplified version was created for the 'modest' choir. An accessible and condensed two-part polyphony balances the famous soprano parts while the rest of the choir singing in unison (in octaves). Same key ( D Major) as the famous original - a near match! * Use Handel's original accompaniment, not provided, to play under this choral version!

Text: Psalm 4:1-4 Journey Through Psalm 136 Dur. 8 min. SSSAATB Chorus + Chamber Ensemble This concert piece is not for the faint at heart. The chorus must create the parting of the Red Sea, the whipping of slaves, and the creation of the stars as the entire Psalm 136 is explored. But not to fear, the piano guides the way through the whole piece, which is a journey through different times and people. An intimate quintet ponders God's presence and the reoccurring theme of God's unending mercy is championed. Bible history meets praise party in this glorious exaltation. Praise To The Lord (Psalm 150) SATB Chorus, Trumpet in Bb, Harp, Organ A majestic and triumphant fanfare styled hymn in 4, mostly homophonic, with interior harp folk dance section in 3.

The Patriotic Family* SATB Chorus + Piano Created in response to my husband's deployment to Iraq, this patriotic hymn/anthem bears witness to the devotion experienced by military families and uplifts prayers on their behalf.

Kyrie - from Missa Angelica Dur. 2 min. 2 Part Children or Youth (SA), SATB with Soprano Soloist and Piano (Also available with Full Orchestral accompaniment) Dedicated to Justin Campeau. Written in response to the passing away of a fellow music student, this somber and sweet Kyrie evokes the innocence and sincerity of one seeking reconciliation with God.
