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.

NEW CHORAL MUSIC FROM AUREOLE EDITIONS AND LAURENDALE ASSOCIATES O Trinity of Blessed Light

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.

SATB and Piano The mood of this piece ranges from subdued and reflective to one of joy and celebration as the ringing of the bells on Christmas day signals the hope for peace and goodwill to all men.

The second entry in our new Chenault Organ Duo series, this is a commanding set of variations on the plainchant tune. Expertly crafted, it is challenging and rewarding for two capable players at one console. This theme and eight variations have delighted the audiences of Raymond and Beth Chenault time and time again. Moderately Difficult

An elegant, lyrical duet in which the writing allows both instruments to do what they do best. Based on entirely original material, this piece is suitable for worship and/or concert settings. In addition, a harp part is available for complimentary download which replaces the piano part, further expanding the usefulness of this lovely piece. Moderately Easy

The Overture, Bourée, The Peace, The Rejoicing, and Minuet movements are transcribed for organ and piano duet. Requiring two secure players, the result is classy fun for both players and listeners alike. Useful for festival worship services and recitals. Medium

Elgar’s Sospiri (“sighs”) was originally a companion piece to Salut d’amour until he realized he was writing something much more intense and emotional. Here transcribed for organ and harp (or organ solo by itself ), this Adagio movement retains its lovely brooding quality. Part of our Nigel Potts Transcription Series, this classic is suitable for recitals and perhaps a memorial service. Optional Harp part included. Medium

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
