Sanna, Sannanina – flute/piccolo descant
https://musicblog.gregscheer.com/sanna_sannanina-flute.mp3
“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.

The Nicene Creed
Price range: $0.00 through $25.00 Select options This product has multiple variants. The options may be chosen on the product pagehttps://musicblog.gregscheer.com/wp-content/uploads/wcc_nicene_creed.mp3
This musical setting of the Nicene Creed was composed at the request of the World Council of Churches to be sung at their 2025 conference, celebrating the 1700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. The verses likely require a cantor, as the music follows the contours of the creed’s text verbatim. The refrain, however, is a simple, repeated, “We believe” for the congregation.
Note: This text follows the version used by the WCC. At the infamous “filioque clause,” you may choose the alternative, “[Holy Spirit,] who proceeds from the Father and the Son.” You will find some differences between the printed music and the demo, as the recording was based on an earlier draft of the song.

“Abana” is sung by Christians throughout the Arabic-speaking world. This haunting, yet vigorous melody beautifully captures the words of the Lord’s Prayer. It can be found in a number of hymnals. For those looking for a more fleshed-out arrangement, my arrangement for piano and strings will support congregational singing well. A choral anthem scored for SATB and piano and can be purchased from GIA Music.
