When Morning Gilds the Skies
Ken Berg

This is glorious! Welcome Ken Berg, to the Carl Fischer Sacred catalog! With musicality and flair for creative singing, Ken brings an awesome arrangement of this biblically inspired text to the choral arena. “May Jesus Christ be praised!” is the resounding call to worship, sup-ported by strong ascending vocal lines to the powerful ending chords. Kept within the bounds of unison writing and two-part harmonies throughout much of the piece, the line of the music allows the text to shine and provides for easy learning by the choir members. The French Horn (or optional Violin) wonderfully contributes to the impact of the piece. This will become a favorite of your congregation and choir, alike.

Let Us Worship and Bow Down
Gary Hallquist

Incorporating the chorus to the wonderful Fanny Crosby hymn text “To God Be the Glory”, Gary Hallquist writes the perfect Call to Worship anthem for any occasion. This piece was specifically created as a commissioned piece for a joyous anniversary celebration. Echoed phrases between treble and bass voices and straight ahead chords, move the singer through beautifully phrased passages and into the unison octaves of the hymn text “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” With many, obvious uses for worship, this is well worth the addition to your church’s music library.

Come to the Lord’s Dwelling Place
Patrick Liebergen

Heard here with organ accompaniment, this stirring Call to Worship anthem is majestic and regal from the first down beat. Incorporating “Come, Ye Thankful People, Come” this original by Patrick Liebergen becomes versatile as a Thanksgiving selection and for general praise and worship times. Pat Liebergen is a church music statesman, noted for his out-standing arrangements for church choir and this one is no exception. Congregational parts are printed on the last page of the choral and the trumpet part is included as well, making for a total worship package.
