LOVING IS A WAY OF LIVING

LOVING IS A WAY OF LIVING

A Living Song

Written for the 20th anniversary of the CME Institute, A Living Song serves to honor and reflect on the passion for music that CME has instilled in countless singers throughout the years.

Living Water

Incorporating texts from the book of John and Psalm 42, this expressive anthem conveys a message of hope and assurance. The legato accompaniment underlies a warm melody, which is later embellished by a beautiful descant line. Itcloses peacefully, reminding us of the peace that Christ, our Living Water, gives to us. Available: SATB.

Rivers of Living Water

for SATB and organ. This setting of verses from John 7 imaginatively depicts the 'rivers of living water' and the contrasting 'parched land' in episodic form, providing musical structure, variety, colour, and atmosphere. Anindependent but delicate organ part brings further colour while underpinning long vocal lines.

Philip W. J. Stopford: In The Land Of The Living (Arr. Burkhardt) (SATB)

In the Land of the Living by Philip W. J. Stopford, arranged by Michael Burkhardt for SATB with Organ accompaniment.

Wade in the Living Water

This unique anthem begins slowly with a quote from Wade in the Water which lays the framework for a jazzy appeal to renewal and commitment. Swinging along, the melody is instantly absorbed and delivers a contemporary call toabundant living using water as the sacred metaphor. A contrasting middle section adds variety and creates a sonic oasis. The piece concludes with a swagger as the spiritual returns to partner with the main theme before fading intothe distance. Fresh!

Living Hope

Hope is central in this contemporary masterpiece that tells the epic story of redemption. Unfolding like the pages of a book, this power ballad is solid ground for any worship service. With an opening refrain from SOLID ROCK, the memorable and folk-like tune is decorated with accessible harmonies that add warmth and sincerity to every measure. Soaring orchestrations lift the anthem to impressive heights of sonic satisfaction. Tremendous!

Living Faith

An expressive melody rises and falls prayerfully in this engaging paean of promise, securely carrying a message of hope. The song speaks to our faith and God's grace, teaching us to trust in the unfailing providence of theAlmighty. The SAB voicing is deceiving: the anthem is rich and emotive, decorated by a helpful yet highly expressive piano accompaniment. Ending with quiet commitment, this piece would make a splendid epilogue to a sermon callingfor a deeper walk of devotion.

Peace : from Living the Divine

This meditation on stillness begins with gentle guidance in quieting the mind, continuing to lead the soul toward serenity and light, with the assurance that true knowledge is not to be found in the external world but in one's owncalmly abiding consciousness. This music offers many points of discussion for the young choir.

Spirit of the Living God

Troublemakers : from Living the Divine

This short and, at first glance flippant, glance at divinity is really a thoughtful assertion that definitions and concepts of divinity fall short of the reality, which is beyond human understanding. And although for unison singers (with optional divisi), this is a challenge for any and all singers.
