NEW RELEASES (Lyrics):

CRYSTAL RIVER ~ SATB anthem for Fall 2013 ~ Welsh tune CALON LAN, arranged by Heather Sorenson ~ Glory Sound (Shawnee Press)

***Editors' Choice 2013 (J.W. Pepper) "Just beautiful! The Celtic lilt feels honest and assuring in this setting of the traditional Welsh melody. The lyrics wash listeners with compelling imagery of God's cleansing waters of grace. Evokes tender and peaceful images of the Redeemer's healing and hope."

GLORY WILL ARISE ~ SATB Advent anthem for Fall 2013 ~ composed/arranged by David Lantz III ~ Harold Flammer (Shawnee Press)

WHERE IS MY LAMB? ~ SATB traditional anthem for Spring 2013 (Lyrics by Julie I. Myers, Music by Charles McCartha) - Shawnee Press/Hal Leonard
