Harold Friedell's beautifully rendered anthem for mixed choir and organ is a 20th-century classic for communion services or general worship. This standard of the church repertoire is available in a special SAB edition that has been carefully adapted for a broader audience from Friedell's existing material.

Draw Us in the Spirit's Tether

SATB Octavo

Careful attention is given to both the lyrics and the tune; the melodic setting of the word "overflow" practically leaps off the page. Featuring limited ranges and much repetition, this anthem will be quickly learned but not soon forgotten.

Veni Sancte Spiritus

MorningStar Music Publishers

This expressive setting of a text by James Marriott includes a tuneful melody with a soprano descant and a supportive piano accompaniment. The text is appropriate for many opportunities during the church year and is particularly relevant for the Easter season and Trinity Sunday. Themes of light, trinity, and love shine through.

Let There Be Light

Here's a very appealing, spirited a cappella choral! It sounds more difficult than it is, which allows a variety of choirs the opportunity to be challenged by unaccompanied singing. A soloist or small ensemble can be featured along with an incredibly fun optional percussion accompaniment.

Fill-a Me Up

Copyright Year

Hope Publishing Company

This original piece is a lively prayer asking God to send us the Spirit in Jesus' name. With its exciting call and response between the choir's repeated refrain and a standout solo, it's instantly engaging, easily learned, and fun for all singers. A dynamic and joyful choice for Pentecost or any spirited occasion.

Send the Fire!

Useful anytime of the year, and especially for Pentecost Sunday, this masterful setting features an elegant piano accompaniment and optional cello part. Set in three verses, the first is a prayer for personal renewal, the second is a prayer for the gifts of the Spirit "to show Christ in all I do," and the third is for the universal church to "hunger for your ways." Also available are vocal solo and duet versions, plus a 3-5 octave handbell setting that can serve as the accompaniment for any of the choral or vocal versions.

Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God

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

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

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 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.

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.

Like a Mighty Wind

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

Celebrating Grace, Inc

This anthem begins with a prayer for the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives. The thoughtful text is paired with the familiar folk tune O WALY WALY. A contrasting bridge is filled with beautiful four-part harmonies arranged in a layering effect. The piece concludes quietly. An optional flute part is available separately.

Come, Holy Spirit, Live in Me

Choristers Guild

With a catchy melody for unison voices with an optional second part, this song is ideal for children, youth, or intergenerational choirs. It is a musical prayer that calls on the presence of the Holy Spirit. The anthem combines musical energy with spiritual depth, making it an excellent choice for Pentecost Sunday.

Descend on Us, We Pray

Unison/Two-Part Octavo

The text by Shirley Erena Murray encourages living simply, kindly, and centered in Christ. The SATB and unison voicings can be used simultaneously for intergenerational choirs. The flowing lines and heartfelt message offer a deeply spiritual, prayerful experience while giving the congregation a moment of quiet reflection and encouragement.
