CONGREGATIONAL MUSIC


I've done a few things for the congregation (with or without choir) that have worked quite well.  A couple of them also appear in the "Mixed Voices" catalog. These are offered for license at a flat rate:  if you buy the license you can make as many copies as you like as often as you like.  Most include a worship bulletin-sized congregational part in addition to the full score.


Eat this Bread for choir and/or congregation with organ or piano.

Something in the Taize style to be sung by an assembly during communion.  Can be sung unison or as a 3-pt canon.  A cantor sings verses over the ostinato, the texts derived from Jesus’ own sayings.

Gloria Patri Canon for any combination of voices and organ or piano.

The traditional text set in canon with a syncopated, thundering organ part.  Comes with the full score and congregational part to put in the bulletin.

Holy, Holy for congregation or choir and piano.  A gospel-style setting of the traditional Sanctus text that will make your communion service rock.  Easy to learn and irresistible to sing. Comes with the full score and a bulletin-sized congregational part.

How I Love Your Ways, O Lord for unison choir or cantor, congregation, and keyboard.

Love Is Patient for SATB, congregation, cantor and guitar.

Based on the the passage from Corinthians, this piece works well as a response to the Gospel, a response to pardon, or simply as a meditation appropriate to communion or other times. Comes with the congregational part for inclusion in the bulletin.

Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow for unison voices and piano.

A gospel-type accompaniment (though not too difficult) gives a spicier flavor to this traditional Christmas favorite.  The vocal line works for a soloist, choir or congregation.
