O Love That Will Not Let Me Go

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

This well-known text is set to an original melody which has the lilting simplicity of a folk song. The first stanza is a solo (or in unison). The second stanza has the melody in the tenor with the choir accompanying on a neutral syllable. The third and fourth stanzas have SATB settings which differ slightly. The accompaniment provides attractive support and short flowing interludes between stanzas. Easy and lyrical. Duration: 3:00

Let Us Go Rejoicing : Fanfare, Introit, and Procession for the Dedication of a Church

Peter Latona's setting of the Entrance Antiphon for the Dedication of a Church is a perfect balance of solemnity and festivity. It opens with a brass and organ fanfare (echoed later by organ alone) and a chant-like choral section. Then the antiphon unfolds—easily sung by the assembly, while the verses offer some "meat" for SATB choir. Brass Quintet is used well throughout, supporting the antiphons and decorating the verses. Appropriate also for church anniversaries, the Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran, Christ the King C, or other festive liturgies. Duration: 8:00 Instrumental Parts include: Trumpets I and II in B-flat and C, Horn in F, Trombone I and II, Timpani Part of the Cathedral Series.

Amazing Grace

Flute, oboe, and hand drum introduce and accompany this anthem, which uses the traditional text but the tune GREENVILLE, an early-American melody in a flowing 6/8 meter. The vocal parts are often spare and elegant to go with the lineage of the tune; the middle verse has the tenor/bass section functioning as a drone/ostinato. A key change leads to the final, almost rollicking verse "When we've been there ten thousand years." Fun and different.
