The significance of the Lord's Supper takes on an overtone of mission and outreach in this stirring communion anthem. Gorgeous choral writing is framed by a lyrical piano accompaniment that creates moments of prayer and reflection as you prepare to dine. "Turn your worship into witness in the sacrament of life" while you gather as the Lord's people around His table. Inspirational!
A powerful, yet reverent, hymn for communion! The first verse prepares us to receive, the second verse focuses on the bread and the third on the wine. The final verse is the response of the faithful as we go out into the world strengthened by the experience. It's a wonderful way to celebrate the blessing of being able to share in the Lord's Supper.
An optional cello obligato adds the crowning touch to this tender anthem that reflects on the mystery and wonder of the incarnation. Specifically designed for the observance of Communion during the Christmas season.
A prayerful, historic communion text is expressively set for SATB choir and piano. Scriptural allusions fill the poetic lines and remind us of the true and living bread: "Day by day with strength supplied, through the life of him, who died. Take our lives and let us be rooted, grafted, built on thee." The easy part writing and supportive accompaniment make this an accessible, meaningful interpretation of the Lord's Supper.
_Dennis Eliot. Using the incredibly plaintive music of the American folk hymn Wayfaring Stranger and a text from 1827 as well as a new verse by Gil Martin, this becomes an exceptionally effective Communion anthem useful throughout the year as well as Maundy Thursday. The haunting melody and elegant choral writing are supported by a spare, yet eloquent accompaniment.
A brilliant inspiration! This beautiful anthem pairs the beloved Gaelic melody Bunessan with traditional texts that are a perfect match! The remarkable keyboard accompaniment supports the Irish folk flavor, which is further enhanced by the optional orchestration for flute or penny whistle, bass, guitar and percussion. Stunning message and music!
A reverent beauty! Sensitive and beautifully lyrical, this dreamy Celtic original has a simple melody written in the style of an Irish folk song with an optional flute that adds a nice touch. With themes of gratitude and "the bread and the wine, the gift of Your feast," the sincere poetry makes it a wonderful offering for communion and Thanksgiving. An optional ending allows the flute to embellish the tune while the choir quietly provides harmonic accompaniment. This will have a lasting impression on the listener!
"We gather here in Jesus' name, His love is burning in our hearts like living flame. For through His loving Son the Father makes us one. Come take the bread, come drink the wine, come share the Lord." This beautiful communion offering nearly floats right from the page. A meaningful text is brought to life through flowing melodic line and a stunning piano part. References to angels make this a wonderful choice for December communion, but it is also fitting for anytime in the church year when you gather to partake in the meal together at the Lord's table.
Here is a communion anthem that is a simple invitation to the banquet of grace. Beautiful imagery and lovely melodic writing caress this most sacred of moments with gentle expressiveness. Any choir can be successful presenting this sacred song for the Lord's Supper.
