This piece weds James Montgomery's hymn text on prayer with an adapted version of the plainsong Divinum Mysterium. This meditation on prayer is wonderfully communicated through a Gregorian chant tune, which is itself a vehicle for sung prayer. The various ways of expressing a prayer (a sigh, a falling tear, upward glances) are reflected in the musical setting.  For the climax of the piece, as the text tells of the soul entering Heaven while praying, the choir presents a "wordless" prayer. The piece works well for concert programs, general worship, or for memorial services.

Prayer Is the Soul's Sincere Desire

SATB Octavo

Based on 2 Chronicles 20:5-17, this anthem express a confident hope in God. The entire congregation has the option to join in the final section, allowing your choir and congregation to create a powerful experience of corporate worship. It also makes an effective service closer. The parts and accompaniment are very singable and easy to learn, yet expressive. Consider pairing this anthem with Stan Pethel's buoyant "Send Out the Singers," which narrates events from the same Old Testament story. A hymnal version of this song is also available free for congregational use on www.michaelsbryson.com. Duration: 4:21.

Our Eyes Are Upon You, Lord

A hauntingly beautiful arrangement of Billings' classic folk hymn. Simple drones and a round-treatment of the melody poignantly picture the crucifixion scene. This piece is easily learned and works well with large or small choirs. Perfect for Lent, Good Friday, Passion Week, Tenebrae services, or Easter.
