Prayer of Communion arr. Mary McDonald, SATB with piano
This exquisite Communion anthem is sure to make your celebration of the Eucharist a special event. Lovely, singable melodies and gorgeous harmonies are paired with a poignant prayerful text.

Remember and Be Still by Larry Shackley, SATB with piano
Beautiful text imagery, captured effectively by the original music, conveys a vivid picture of communion as seen on the journey from Bethlehem’s manger to Jerusalem’s cross. Lovely melodic and harmonic surprises shimmer like stained glass in this very effective yet easily taught anthem.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come arr. Mark Hayes, SATB with 4-hand piano and optional congregation
This magnificent arrangement of ST. GEORGE’S WINDSOR is scored for Choir and four-hand piano (optional two-hand). The vocal texture varies by verse, and after an interlude with a key change, the choir is joined by congregation and descant, building to a stanza of the Doxology (OLD HUNDREDTH), closing with choir amens. This is certain to become a Thanksgiving worship standard.

Our Song of Thankful Praise by Larry Shackley, SATB with piano and optional trumpet
This buoyant anthem practically sings itself! It is a joyous proclamation of thanks for bountiful harvests, friends and loved ones, and the consistent change of seasons. With an abundance of unison and readily learned parts, it is ideal for Thanksgiving or those general times when a “thanks” anthem is desired.
