God's people are called to sing. His song has been written on our hearts, and we must give voice to what He has written there. And there may be nothing quite so powerful as a men's chorus joining strong voices together in songs of honor and praise to their God and King!

The new men's choir book from WORD Music, 1st CORINTHIANS 16:13, is designed to help the men of God in your church and community do just that...come together to sing praise to the Lord, to sing for joy, to sing to Him a new song, to declare His might and power. Featuring 7 new arrangements from best-selling arrangers Russell Mauldin, Cliff Duren, Lari Goss and Marty Hamby, 1st CORINTHIANS 16:13 is a must-have, new book for your music library. All men of God have a song to sing; now they have an excellent, new resource to help them bring that song to life and declare their allegiance to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

Ask the men in your Cchurch to sing; challenge and encourage them to sing. And if all else fails, then inspire them to sing, using the words of this magestic old hymn, Rise Up O Men of God, written by William P. Merrill in 1911. The text reads:

Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things. Give heart and soul and mind and strength to serve the King of Kings. Rise up, O men of God, in one united throng. Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong. Rise up, O men of God! The church for you doth wait, Her strength unequal to her task; rise up, and make her great! Rise up, O men of God! Tread where his feet have trod. As brothers of the Son of Man, rise up, O men of God! ...Rise up, men of God, and sing!

The “Hallelujah” chorus is the final movement of part two of Handel’s Messiah, the part that comments on Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. The text of the chorus, assembled from Biblical passages by the oratorio’s librettist, Charles Jennens, is from Revelation 19:6, 11:15, and 19:16: “Hallelujah, for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. The kingdom of this world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever. KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” This edition has been prepared from the first published score in 1767, with comparisons to Handel’s autograph manuscript now housed in the British Museum. The text has been reproduced here without alterations. However, the beamings of the vocal parts have been modernized for ease of reading (the original material has flags instead of beams for every separate syllable). The piano accompaniment is a reduction of the orchestral material: the first and second violin parts are represented in the upper staff, with only occasional inclusion of the viola, trumpet, and timpani parts, the basso continuo, in its original form, is in the bottom staff. The GIA Historical Music Series edited by Dennis Shrock, presents repertoire suitable for performance by public school, college and university, church, and community ensembles, with the purpose of making available to today’s conductors lesser-known and previously difficult-to-procure historical masterpieces. The music, drawn from the Renaissance through the Romantic eras, is in performance editions based on the most current and rigorous scholarly research. The musical scores reflect original intent of notation, with all editorial markings and emendations clearly identified as such. In addition, preface material accompanying the music contains literal translations of foreign language texts and information regarding the lives of the composers, genres, and relevant performance practices. Dennis Shrock is Director of Choral Activities at Texas Christian University. He has been called one of the top choral scholars in the United States and has received a number of awards for his work. He received a bachelor's degree in music education from Westminster Choir College and both master's and doctoral degrees in choral conducting from Indiana University.
