Text by: Susan Sayers and Michael ForsterMusic by: Kevin MayhewSongs of Intercession is a marriage of inspirational texts and meditative music, making each of the eight pieces ideal for any quiet moment - at the Communion, for example, or as aids to quiet prayer by groups or individuals.The texts intercede for those in any kind of need and open up the possibility of ourselves being part of the healing.The wonderfully melodic music is multi-functional in that it may be performed in unison by everyone present or by a mixed voice choir accompanied by any keyboard instrument with or without other instruments. There are optional short improvisations which may be used for silent prayer.A recording of great beauty, involving fine singers and instrumentalists is available and is ideal both for hearing how the music should sound and as a resource for prayer services.ContentsThe eight titles are:The breaking of breadTake us by the handTrust in the LordForgivenessGod knowsTo love with your heartWise and holy GodThe giver of good
Instruments: UnisonAndrew Moore's melodic and accessible style reflects the mood of the texts, and the Gloria, especially, romps along with a sense of joy and celebration.There is a complementary CD which includes everything in the music book. Just a couple of hearings will have you singing along, and we really do think you'll want to introduce Mass for a New Century to your congregation.

Margaret Rizza composes hauntingly beautiful melodies and is now recognised around the world as an icon of all that is holy and best in Christian composition. Her music is wonderfully melodic, often with simple, repetitive melodies carrying short, usually scriptural texts.
As publishers and musicians ourselves, we understand the financial restraints faced by many choir directors. Even if you use just one of the pieces in the set you are paying only the usual price of a single choral piece. If you use two you're getting double value, and if you use three, four or more you're quids in!ContentsVeni Sancte Spiritus - Georg Joseph VoglerJubilate Deo - Wolfgang Amadeus MozartO salutaris hostia - Edward ElgarRegina coeli - Gregor AichingerAve verum corpus - Charles Gounod
We often get the feeling that there is a shortage of upbeat, festive anthems, so when we approached our composers to contribute to this collection, we asked them to write music that was jolly, fun and straightforward.The result is a really useful collection of easily learned pieces that will raise the hearts of both choir and congregation in joyful praise.

Requiem Aeternam is a deeply personal and richly evocative choral work by D N Carter, written with both tradition and accessibility in mind. Drawing on years of experience as a choir leader, musical director, and lifelong church musician, Carter presents a modern Requiem rooted in the structure of the All Souls Mass, but reimagined for today’s choirs and audiences. Carter's Requiem Aeternam distinguishes itself through its seamless integration of traditional Latin texts with accessible English settings and familiar hymn tunes, creating a uniquely inclusive and emotionally resonant experience.Spanning seventeen flexible movements – including familiar texts like Kyrie, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, and Pie Jesu – this setting blends sacred English texts with lyrical melodies reminiscent of Fauré, juxtaposed with moments of Duruflé-inspired harmonic richness and contemporary textures. Three well-loved hymns invite optional audience participation, and themes of rest, remembrance, and spiritual hope run throughout. From the swirling dissonance of the opening Introit to the serene beauty of the Pie Jesu, Carter's score offers a diverse and compelling musical landscape.Written in the quiet moments between teaching, parenting, and conducting, this Requiem reflects Carter's personal journey through loss and his deep connection to the choral tradition, inspired by his experiences as a chorister at Ripon Cathedral. This Requiem is as heartfelt as it is musical – a work shaped by grief, gratitude, and a love of choral singing. Whether performed in full or in part, Requiem Aeternam offers choirs a moving and meaningful journey through life, loss, and the promise of peace.
