Slave Life and the Power of Spirituals Eileen Guenther This groundbreaking study of slavery and spirituals is the first to place the unique voices of an enslaved people squarely within the context of their daily lives. Dr. Guenther’s deeply researched account weaves a succinct history of “America’s original sin” into an examination of the role of singing and religion in slave life and directly correlates slave testimonies—in their own words—to the themes of Spirituals. In addition to surveying the musical styles, performance practices, and melodic and rhythmic characteristics of spirituals, In Their Own Words includes a biblical concordance to 100 of the spirituals most frequently sung.

Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace)
Christmas Eve Is Here
SATB and Organ John Ebenezer West (1863–1929) was a prolific English composer and editor with over 500 published pieces to his name. This new edition of his evening anthem features soaring choral lines and a masterful use of the organ. The English text is a translation based on O lux beatas Trinitas, attributed to St. Ambrose. Moderately Easy
SATB and Piano Quiet and introspective based on the Latin phrase in the Agnus Dei section of the Roman Catholic Mass.

The second entry in our new Chenault Organ Duo series, this is a commanding set of variations on the plainchant tune.

Originally part of three pieces for cello and piano, this has been skillfully transcribed for organ and solo instrument (flute, oboe, violin, or clarinet). A reflective Andante in A-minor, this duet is useful and accessible. Moderately Easy
