Choir, SATB, SATB A cappella ensemble - Intermediate - Digital Download By Portugal. The Man. Arranged by Megan Lied. Octavo, Score. 18 pages. Published by Megan Lied
This a cappella arrangement of Feel It Still with body percussion is a quick learn for your group and sure to be a hit with your audience! Ranges have been carefully considered to stay accessible to teenage voices, and the body percussion is a collection of simple parts that layer together to create a "human drum set" sound to maintain the strong rhythmic feel of the original.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1028745 Composed by Leviticus D. Thomas. Christian,Gospel,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Octavo. 11 pages. Leviticus D. Thomas, Songs of Levi #4112331. Published by Leviticus D. Thomas, Songs of Levi (A0.1028745). If you need a song to help set the atmosphere for a mighty move of God, then HOLY THOU ART GOD is a great recommendation for anointed choir music to add to your repertoire in 2019. Declaring God is Holy, Righteous and Mighty, this song's repeated theme, There is none like You in all that You do compels those present to give Him glory and praise His Holy name. Although it is composed for SATB, SAT is still effective. The duration of song is 5:13, but that stat can be ignored where the spirit of Lord dwells and moves. Every music ministry deserves a let go and let God have His way song. This worshipful piece does just that. This divine composition is a sincere blessing to sing/play no matter the size or skill set of the music ministry desiring to experience a more meaningful relationship with God. Inspired by God, this song is Biblically based and penned from a willing vessel, a psalmist/gospel music singer-songwriter with over 37 years of church music ministry experience. Please stay tuned for more dynamic pieces (Songs of Levi) to be released by this ASCAP member in the near future.

Thomas, Songs of Levi #4112375. Published by Leviticus D. Thomas, Songs of Levi (A0.1028747). Start the new year off just right by stretching your music ministry's vocals and overall musicianship by adding YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY to your repertoire in 2019. This song weaves in and out of easy-to-learn catchy unison lines and harmonic phrases just before shifting to a choral bridge with modulations. The anointed piece then transcends to a robust vamp that takes you higher vocally/worshipfully until it seems as if Heaven opens up with Ah--- as the song begins to climax. If you are looking for a new song that is balanced with simple melodies, yet challenging enough, but not overwhelming, then you are bound to enjoy teaching/learning/ministering YOU ALONE ARE WORTHY.Originally taught to Georgetown University Gospel Choir years ago after serving as the Director over the choir nearly 5 years, this song is suitable for high school, college, church, community, district, convention and even recording choirs, etc Even though it is composed for SATB, SAT is still effective. Close to 5:25 in duration this diverse piece is a so refreshing to sing/play no matter the size or skill set of the music ministry. Inspired by GOD, this song is Biblically based and penned from a willing vessel, a psalmist/gospel music singer-songwriter with over 37 years of church music ministry experience .

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.719738 Composed by Various. Arranged by Curtis Hanson. Sacred. Octavo. 13 pages. Curtis Hanson #4573123. Published by Curtis Hanson (A0.719738). As years come and go, one increasingly recalls memories of earlier times. One of the most vivid and cherished memories I have while growing up is of Sunday mornings, going to church, sitting in the same pew each week with my grandmother, hearing and singing the beautiful hymns of our faith, and then returning home to the aroma of beef slowly roasting in the oven. My father directed the church choir, my mother and older brothers sang in the choir, so the wonderful music of our faith was instilled in me from an early age. This medley, and others in the series, are arrangements of many of my favorite hymns from those early years, many of which have been lost in more recent editions. For this series, I have mostly elected to use the older texts as that is the way they were first written and the way I first learned them. (See below for more comment on the texts in this set.) There is a reverence and beauty in the language enriching the vocal/choral tone which, I believe, is lost in contemporary, conversational, or politically correct syntax. I shudder to think of the day when a penitential phrase such as Hear thou my prayer, O Lord is rendered as Hey, God-dude, listen up - I'm talkin' atcha! I have also opted not to include the many wonderful hymns and carols which are associated with the major festivals of Christmas and Easter as those are commonly found in other collections. A caveat: I have no delusions, and I offer no pretenses, that these settings are great art. They are simply expressions of faith which I hope may bring a small measure of joy to other church musicians. The hymns in this set are Children of the Heavenly Father, Day by Day, Thy Holy Wings, and Beautiful Savior. A note on the texts in this set: Having grown up in a Swedish Lutheran church, the grandson of Swedish/Norwegian immigrants, and currently being choir director of another Swedish Lutheran church, these hymns have a special place for me. This set was originally arranged for my church choir with the first verse of each in Swedish. Being under copyright, permission was obtained to use the more familiar English translations of the first three songs for local use. For this edition, I have opted to create my own texts for the first and third hymns while the second is a translation in public domain. I have also provided a verse in English in lieu of the Swedish for those Nordically challenged. The fourth hymn is not a Swedish melody but for obvious reasons is a mainstay of the Lutheran hymnal. Like the other hymns, the first verse is in Swedish while the other traditional verses are also public domain.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.976711 Composed by Isaac Watts / Lowell Mason. Arranged by Robert Myers. Christian,Easter,Sacred. Octavo. 31 pages. WheatMyer Music #4775085. Published by WheatMyer Music (A0.976711). When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, written by the Father of English Hymnody, Isaac Watts, in 1707 and later matched with Lowell Mason’s 1824 tune, HAMBURG, has long stood at the forefront of English hymnody.This arrangement, taken from my Passion Week cantata, Wounded, Bleeding, Still Proceeding, allows the full talent-spectrum of the Body of Christ to contemplate His sacrifice and offer their devotion.The first two stanzas feature an alto/soprano duet, set in a minor key with frequent diminished and augmented chords to reflect the despair and loss of a witness to the crucifixion. The entire third stanza, set for SATB chorus, never really moves off the F minor tonic until the end. That, and the relentless pounding of the bass line, ponders the witnesses anguish and our vicarious experience of it through Scripture. So, sing these stanzas sadly – they are sad! When the choir enters, be sure to observe the swelling crescendos/diminuendos as the sorrow and love mingle together.The fourth stanza offers optional congregational participation and may be used to provide a responsorial to the Word of God or a preparation for the Table. The choir sings this stanza in four part harmony as the congregation joins on the melody. It stays in a major key and closely follows the traditional consonances used in Lowell Mason’s harmonization; thus, the choral parts will feel familiar and the congregational melody will flow naturally. Take the text literally (Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.) and sing it firmly, enthusiastically, passionately, but never triumphantly. Sing it as a song of personal devotion to commit all that you have, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, to the one who humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross (Phil 2:8b) so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor 5:21)The music is well within the grasp of any ensemble competent with traditional SATB anthems. The piano/organ accompaniments are straightforward yet very colorful. When I Survey the Wondrous Cross is an unapologetic Christian worship anthem suitable for sacred services, yet does not compromise on artistic expression.The parts provided in this version include a full score, a piano-vocal octavo (which may be performed alone), and organ and timpani/percussion parts. Neither organ or timpani are required but adding either or both provides a deep and rich experience. Parts for reduced orchestra (strings and single winds) are available separately.
