Noted composer M. Roger Holland has taken antiphons from the 2010 Roman Missal and paired them with psalm verses, creating compositions that have wide use in the liturgy. Some parishes will want to use these pieces on the appointed day for entrance or communion processionals; others may find use for them throughout the entire year, perhaps as a weekly song through the season. The songs work well as standalone processional pieces - many choirs will want to use them as choir anthems or congregational songs during the preparation of the gifts and altar. While utilizing official texts of the Roman rite, they can be used by congregations of any denomination. Volume 1 includes: Honey from the Rock; Sing to Your Name; Taste and See; God Is in His Holy Place and The Chalice of Blessing. In this series, Roger explores the breadth and depth of African American music; you'll find lyric ballads, spiritual-inspired offerings, gospel-style songs, and pieces with a more uptempo feel. Reproducible parts for congregation are included.
