A Heart of Grace

SKU: HL.284385

UPC: 888680827397. 5.0x5.0x0.189 inches. Ephesians 1:3, I Peter 2:10, Revelation 21:6.

When hymnody is made into an anthem, it connects with the congregation in a profound way. The early-American hymn tune NETTLETON appears in nearly every denominational hymnal and this incarnation speaks with inspiring grace. The part-writing is solid and approachable with glistening innovations in the upper voices and variety which moves the parts from unison to two-part and then to full four-part textures. A refreshing quieter ending with the use of a lesser-known verse puts a devotional spin on this classic and opens it up to a variety of usages. Score and Parts (fl 1-2, ob, cl 1-2, bn, perc 1-2, hp, vn 1-2, va, vc, db) available as a digital download.

Simply beautiful. This engaging anthem speaks eloquently to the journey of faith. A memorable theme calls the anthem to purpose, with heart-felt melodic contours and effective part writing. The marriage of message and music are exquisitely displayed in this worshipful offering.

Composed by the Grammy¨ award-winning composer/producer Quincy Jones, this is an emotional ballad featuring tenor or soprano saxophone that will touch the hearts of both performers and audience alike. Lush chords and a tender piano introduction set the mood for this superb chart arranged in collaboration by Quincy Jones and Sammy Nestico. This song was originally written as the Gymnastics Theme for the 1984 Olympiad. Playable by an experienced jazz ensemble, this is a sensational ballad. Strongly recommended!

GIA is pleased to release an impassioned new recording from Jeanne Cotter. Tender Hearted is filled with songs that pour forth the message of God’s unconditional love. These songs tell the story of Christ’s heart of compassion and of his gentle yet untiring call for us to live as his disciples. Written for her three children, the title track “Tender Hearted” encourages us all to clothe ourselves “with kindness, patience, and humility” and to “live a life worthy of our calling.” The moving texts of “All Is Holy,” “The Way You Love Me,” and “In You, I Abide” remind us that we are called to be imitators of Christ—to build the kingdom through our acts of mercy, kindness, and compassion. The music of Tender Hearted is not just about our outward actions of grace and holiness toward others. It is also about the grace that God shows each of us daily. Songs like “Do Not Be Afraid,” “By Your Love,” and “ I’ll Walk by Your Side” are filled with encouraging words of hope and healing. Tender Hearted is quintessential Jeanne Cotter. When you listen, be prepared for your heart to swell with love, kindness, and peace.

In Little Seeds you will find new hymns from my heart. My devotional life is given to you in my hymnwriting. During the past three years I have been writing songs for the unity of the church - songs reminding us of our baptism. I have been writing biblical story hymns for lesser-known characters. I have written paperless songs that may be easily memorized. I set a Rumi poem. There are new hymns for Christian missions from everywhere to everywhere. You will find new texts and musical settings for folk songs from around the world. I hope I have treated these with the love and respect they deserve. You will find alternate arrangements of some songs that may be useful in different settings. Lim Swee Hong composed three tunes for this collection at my request. I am also pleased to include Lianne Tan's first published hymn tune in Little Seeds.
