The birth of Jesus is a scene of awe-inspiring humility: God in human form, born in a lowly manger for our salvation. Pepper Choplin's distinctive, folk-infused musical style is particularly well-suited to capture this story. Employing a highly-inventive mixture of mountain melodies, folk hymns, spirituals, familiar carols, and original music that is sure to surprise and delight, Go Sing It on the Mountain proclaims the good news from the prophet Isaiah's proclamation, Comfort, O comfort my people, to the final exuberant celebration: Joy to the World! Christ is born! Solos, Duets, and Trios shine the spotlight on featured singers and nicely complement the SATB choruses.

Christ's journey to the cross is filled with images of His sacrificial love for us: the Palms, the Cup and the Bread, the Nails, the Crown of Thorns, and more. These images form the centerpiece of "Come to the Cross and Remember." During simple choir or congregation interludes, each of the images is brought forward to create a very moving tableau. Additional choruses and hymns illumine the journey, including the haunting "Go to Dark Gethsemane," the spine-tingling "Judas," the mournful "Surely He Has Borne Our Griefs," the transportive "You Will Be with Me in Paradise," and the majestic "Every Knee Should Bow." Narration is included for one or more speakers. This worship experience may be performed with piano accompaniment or Michael Lawrence's full orchestration.

We asked several of the top composers for worship services today to pick two of their favorite hymns and create new settings to include in this compilation. Not surprisingly, the results were (and are) wonderful. Amazingly, there were no duplications of titles. All, however, are refreshingly unique and represent a diverse array of musical styles. We also asked each arranger to share why they chose a particular title and, perhaps, why a certain style was chosen for this setting. And viola!... We now offer you this collection of hymns expressly created by these composers as a wonderful addition for any church pianist's library. Contents: Sweet By and By (SWEET BY AND BY) Marching to Zion (MARCHING TO ZION) Of the Father's Love Begotten (DIVINUM MYSTERIUM) To God Be the Glory (TO GOD BE THE GLORY) Crown Him with Many Crowns (DIADEM and DIADEMATA) Jesus Paid It All (ALL TO CHRIST) Morning Has Broken (BUNESSAN) Come, Christians, Join to Sing (MADRID) Love Lifted Me (SAFETY) Near to the Heart of God (MCAFFEE) Praise to the Lord, the Almighty (LOBE DEN HERREN) Day by Day (BLOTT EN DAG)

Level 2 * A year ago, we asked several of the top composers of sacred music today to choose two of their favorite hymns and create fresh settings to be included in a new collection, Hymns We Love. The response was phenomenal. As a logical continuation of the series, this year we asked for new settings of two of their favorite carols. As before, we also requested that the composers tell us why they picked their two carols and perhaps why they chose to set them in a particular style. Here, then, is the formidable result: Carols We Love, now ready to be an integral part of your Christmas repertoire for worship services or simply for personal enjoyment. Contents include:O Little Town of Bethlehem, There's a Song in the Air, Carol of the Bells, God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen, Lo! How a Rose E'er Blooming, He is Born, the Divine Christ Child, Angels We Have Heard on High, Away in a Manger, Silent Night, Angels, From the Realms of Glory, The Friendly Beasts, and Sing We Now of Christmas.

Level 2 Here s the eagerly-awaited new volume in the series that began with Hymns We Love and continued with Carols We Love. Once again, our team of top arrangers has chosen a dozen great hymns, this time focusing on the great Gospel tradition that began in 19th-century America. As expected, the team has come up with a satisfying blend of moods and styles, making this a versatile addition to your library. And as in previous volumes, each song is prefaced by a personal note from the arrangers, explaining their choice.

Holy Mystery

Composed in a simple, Appalachian folk style, this gem sparkles with Peppers renowned creativity. It opens with the haunting call of the distant prophet, Prepare the way of the Lord, and the choir responds as the voice of the faithful: Make straight the way in the desert for our God.
