Useful anytime of the year, and especially for Pentecost Sunday, this masterful setting features an elegant piano accompaniment and optional cello part.

Send the Fire!

Beckenhorst Press

The fourth movement of the work "Trinity," this stand-alone anthem creates a mysterious modal soundscape asking for the Spirit's presence. This mystery then gives way to music of comfort and assurance of the Spirit before returning to the mystery of the Spirit's presence. The complete work (c. 25 min.), a five-movement meditation on God's care for His children through the three persons of the Trinity, is suitable for sacred concert performances and special services of praise such as Trinity Sunday. Optional string quartet/quintet/ensemble parts are available for each movement.

Breath of God

SATB Octavo Breath of God

Gentle syncopations in piano and voices provide murmuring motion in a reverent setting that eventually soars with imitative layers. An optional solo provides further opportunities, or the solo melodies may be sung by the soprano section. This setting provides a lovely prayer for illumination and the Spirit's presence.

Spirit Divine

This medley of contemporary classics pairs two songs that share a common theme. The choral texture seamlessly moves from two-part to SATB voices, and the uplifting keyboard accompaniment moves them toward a richly fulfilling conclusion: "Lord, come and fill your lambs."

Spirit Song

This prayerful ballad combines Spirit Song with the classic hymn Spirit of the Living God in a choral expression for Jesus to "come and fill your lambs." Easy-to-learn choral parts and a flowing accompaniment combine to create an approachable anthem, ideal for Pentecost and other occasions calling for the Holy Spirit to descend upon the church.

Shawnee Press

Fresh and innovative writing joins this Congalese tune with a spiritually energizing 19th century hymn text. This pleasing fusion brings the spirit of worship alive for Pentecost or any time. A cappella vocals occasionally layer sectionally, or with divisi or descant for contrast. For a colorful touch, add the easy-to-learn percussion.

African Spirit Song (Come, Holy Spirit)

SATB Octavo w/ Optional Percussion

This original minor-keyed Pentecost piece has a lovely text by Tina English. The vocal lines are easy to learn while still being musically and emotionally engaging. The flute part adds a great deal and is included in the octavo.

Come Now, Spirit of God

Ideal for Pentecost or as a stirring call to worship, this anthem combines an inspired text with beautifully flowing music. An optional solo, or children's choir, adds a poignant, reverent dimension. The evocative text captures the very essence of the Spirit's power.

Spirit, Fall on Us

A ballad-like melody, well-suited to the ostinato piano accompaniment, and a sweeping text combine to give this anthem a timeless quality. Unison and two-part writing predominate, with some a cappella SATB writing towards the end. Optional violin and cello parts are a great addition to this anthem, which is suitable for Pentecost or general use.
