Contemporary Christian A Cappella Songbooks & Sheet Music
One of the first places many people get to sing in an organized environment is a church choir, so much of the music here may be familiar to our customers. But these aren’t your father’s Christian & gospel arrangements! Whether traditional favorite hymns, modern gospel or even contemporary Christian pop music, your choir will find much to celebrate in these pieces. Sing unto the Lord, and do it from one of these collections of brilliant arrangements from some of the top arrangers in Christian music today! Many of the songbooks also have a CD recording of the artists singing the exact arrangements as in the songbook.
The exceptionally talented quartet the Acappella Company has produced many recordings during their fifteen years together. Though four voices only, their use of studio production techniques allow them to create a pastiche of sound that can be challenging to re-create, and the vocal ranges, particularly the in the tenor, can be as high as F above high C. In addition, though in general the arrangements are TTBB, the number of voice parts does vary between songs. In order to make the arrangements more accessible for quartets and quintets, the Acappella Company has attempted to simplify some of their more complex charts.

"Encore" begins with Barry Manilow's "One Voice," a jazzy, upbeat "Power in Praisin' the Lord," a striking, powerful vocal-percussion gem, "Mercy Seat," the heartfelt "Ho, Everyone Who Is Thirsty" (arranged by Derrick Johnson), a scattish, bright arrangement of "Lord, I Lift Your Name on High," the Doo-Woppy Gospel number "When God Dips His Love," the traditional hymns "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Have You Met Jesus" (both also arranged by Johnson), and a bonus track of "Mercy Seat," our personal favorite. Ten songs in total, and there's not a weak track among them. Confident solos, solid harmonies, great arrangements—"Encore" just knocked our socks off!

The Spirit of God |
The Utah-based, all-male contemporary sextet Voice Male has displayed their versatility in releasing 6 excellent CDs in their first six years together, and tours of the US and Europe have invited comparisons with groups like Rockapella and the House Jacks. "Hymns II" shows us another side of Voice Male, their deeply-felt spirituality. 12 simple, powerful hymns are here, shining in the pure, clean harmonies of these six men. "The Spirit of God," "Lead, Kindly Light," "Our Savior's Love," "How Firm A Foundation," "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus," "There Is A Green Hill Far Away," "Be Still My Soul," "Jesus, The Very Thought Of Thee"—these are hymns simple and pure, not arranged to death, and with no vocal percussion. Just VM's trademark perfectly blended harmonies, and the deep faith of the words and music - and it's one of the most inspirational Gospel CDs we've heard!

Holy, Holy, Holy (arr. Melodie Tunney) SATB divisi |
First Call member, Melodie Tunney continues her gorgeous arranging skills with this stunning a cappella setting of "Holy, Holy, Holy.' Her contemporary style and brilliant use of harmonization makes this an unforgettable setting for worship of all styles. ‘Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!’ The artistic and talented Ken Berg arranges these poignant words penned by Fanny Crosby in ‘Assurance.’ A challenging a cappella setting, Assurance is well worth the rehearsal time and energy, which will produce a thrilling performance for any service of worship or concert. Beautiful, worshipful and comforting, this gorgeous arrangement of Lelia Morris’ ‘Nearer, Still Nearer’ is arranged by Bob Burroughs in his signature style. The harmony is stunning while the a cappella rendition allows the impact of those chords to shine. A surprise phrase of ‘draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,’ brings this piece to a gripping close. Arranged with an Alto Solo lead, which is signature Melody Tunney, ‘Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne’ is just stunning! Emotion packed and reverent, this stirring choral evokes worship. With some degree of ability required, and the majority of the parts divisi throughout, the end result is thrilling. Text resounding, “O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,” it is perfect or Christmas or any time of the church year.

O Jesus, Grant Me Hope and Comfort (Johann Wolfgang Franck, arr. Carl Stein) SATB |
'O Jesus, Grant Me Hope and Comfort' is a 17th Century composition by Johann Wolfgang Franck, whose compositions have enjoyed great popularity due to their pure melodies and the warm faith expressed in their text. A Choral Motet by Hugo Distler, 'Praise to the Lord' is based on the melody by Stralsund Gesangbuch, from Distler's Opus 6, No. 2. The beautiful melodies in each of the 4 parts create a beautiful dissonance that is magical to the ears. David A. Gerig's original composition, 'Shout to God' starts out unison, but soon breaks into 2-part cannon, then the voices join for beautiful 4-part harmony. Tschesnokoff's 'Let Thy Holy Presence' is beautifully arranged by Walter Ehret. All 4 parts divisi at one time or another, making this a challenging, but fun, sacred tune. Carolina Sandell Berg's Swedish folk tune , 'Children of the Heavenly Father,' is beautifully arranged for 4-part mixed voices by Paul Christiansen. Stanley Glarum's 'Sing Praises' is a thrilling exhortation to all the people of the earth to revere God and sing His praises. The echo effects should brought out as though the people were responding to the bidding the psalmist. The anthem is suitable for Thanksgiving or general services

Nearer, my God, to Thee, arr. Thomas H.B. Slawson SATB |
And now for something completely different for Advent! So much of our traditional music for the season of waiting is slow and in a minor key. The emphasis is on longing and despair. John Parker and David Lantz break the mold with 'Great Day A-Comin,' an exuberant neo-spiritual, Great Day A-Comin’. Focusing on the joy to come, this exciting a cappella number simply bubbles over with good cheer. A spirited change for the later weeks of Advent. Donald Moore's 4 part arrangement of 'Beautiful Savior' is a beautiful take on the Silesian melody, a great worship piece! 'Wonderful Savior' is a simple, yet expressive arrangement of the familiar hymn tune, BENTON HARBOR. Careful stepwise voice leading aids in learning and creates a seamless harmonic effect. The distinctive second verse set in minor is quite effective. For Lent, Holy Week, or as preparation for a time of prayer, this beloved hymn anthem is very moving. Spirited and sparkling, Jay Althouse’s 'Alleluia' is the perfect all-occasion octavo. Available in women’s or SATB voicings, this cheerful a cappella anthem is appropriate for church or school use, in concert, contest, festival, or worship settings. 'Nearer, My God, to Thee' is lovely and very moving. Pure, pristine harmonies reflect the simple desires of this prayer. Yet as the yearnings intensify with each verse, so do the textures and tone colors of this wonderful a cappella arrangement. The third verse, in particular, has some fabulous dissonances and rhythmic effects.

Abide With Me (arr. Lucy Hirt)
|
This arrangement of "Abide With Me" begins with a very beautiful and effective male a cappella section. This sets the stage for the rest of the piece which rises in intensity and volume until the final and triumphant ending. Abide With Me displays mans complete dependence on God and is very moving for both the audience and the singer. "Sweet, Sweet Spirit" is a bright and warm song that is perfect for a large choir. The fact that it is A Cappella adds greatly to the rich charm of the piece as well as making it highly rewarding to sing. "A Prayer" - This inventive and original composition bestows rich and luminous harmonies to the a cappella choral parts. It is a haunting call for the Lord to save us from sin. This piece requires proficient sopranos and is very fulfilling to an innovative and talented choir. "Hail, all hail", is an animated and vivid a cappella piece. This work will explore the brighter colors and sounds of the choir, allowing a powerful majestic result. Great for Christmas, this work allows the choir to let loose and make a joyful sound!

Happy in the Lord SATB |
This is an impressive setting of "By An' By." Alice Parker has given the parts independent lines, exposed sections for all parts, and a solo for your finest soloist.
