    Wendell Kimbrough’s setting of Mary’s Song captures the wonder, fear, and obedience of Mary’s response to Gabriel’s message. The song is a perfect fit for Advent, Christmas, and Lessons and Carols services. The choral arrangement places the choir alongside folk instruments, which is a lovely marriage for those who lead blended worship.

    Listen to this new recording of the children’s choir anthem produced by Carey Luce and Carlos Colón:

    This short, four-part benediction from Philippians 4:7 connects to Psalm 4. It could be used as a coda to my Psalm 4 song “I Rest in You” or sung as a choral benediction at the end of a worship service.

    This hymn is a free download. If you sing this song in your church please report its use to CCLI or OneLicense.

    O Antiphons: Our Souls Will Magnify the Lord

    Price range: $0.00 through $25.00     Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product page

    The O Antiphons have been sung for centuries during Advent. Each of the seven Latin verses begins with “O,” and then addresses the coming Savior with a title: “O Wisdom,” “O Root of Jesse,” etc. The O Antiphons are most widely known as the hymn “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”

    This new translation and musical setting can be sung as a hymn or can be expanded to a seven-movement service that includes choir, piano, and a small instrumental ensemble. This video shows the latter.

    Psalm 134 is both a call to worship and a benediction. Here it becomes a warm Gospel song that is easily accessible for congregational singing.

    Piano and vocal for congregational singing or unison choir. Purchase price allows you to print as many copies as you need for your ensemble.

    “Sanna, Sannanina” is a delightful South African song that is perfect for joyous Palm Sunday processions. Here I’ve added a flute descant that is almost as rhythmic as the djembe accompaniment. The recording above is an instrumental version with flute and djembe; this descant would also work over the congregation, choir, or praise team singing the song.

    Descants for flute/piccolo. Download also includes SATB hymn with both South African and English texts.

    A full, festive choir anthem that is easy to learn in one rehearsal. When else can you give your men some solos, let your strings get a little Motown, and include your rhythm section with your choir?

    No choir? No problem. The piano and string version can be used to accompany congregational singing.
