A Song For All Time
 

 A Song For All Time 
Composer: Allan Robert Petker  Author/Lyricist: James Montgomery 

Voicing: SATB  Released: January 2015  Difficulty: Medium
Sample Sound File Listen
   Although the words come from the 19th century there is no question the music is of today. The opening tonal clusters from the choir, accompanied by a rolling line and steady harmony in the piano, create a mood of mystery. Praise rings forth exuberantly in salute of God's command of life and death, however the music stays well-grounded in reality, and the newness is engaging. An excellent church anthem, general song of praise, All Saints Day, or concert. Medium difficulty.

Canticle Of Colossae
 

 Canticle Of Colossae 
Composer: Allan Robert Petker  Author/Lyricist: Colossians 3:16 

Voicing: SATB 
Season: General  Released: January 2008  Difficulty: Medium
Sample Sound File Listen
   Colossians 3:16 is one of the great scripture passages that calls us to sing. Petker's melodic choice is a beguiling motif that moves from an accompanimental figure into a sung statement. Taken from the third movement of Petker's ''Te Deum to Music'' the middle section rises steadily in joyous praise to God. Returning to the first theme, the ending leaves the listener hanging in the most alluring fashion.

   There are times when words simply aren't enough to offer the gratitude you feel. Thank goodness singing sounds without words sometimes says what words cannot. Here is an elegant song of thanks that celebrates the gift of music, more specifically, a capella choral music.

Voicing: SATB 
Season: Advent  Released: January 2013  Difficulty: Medium

   The beckoning text and mysterious flavor of this 12th century plainsong has made this a favorite Advent piece for centuries. It is the new harmonies Petker introduces that separate this arrangement from others. Originally a piece for string orchestra it was first published for men’s voices and has remained a favored choice for years. This new setting for SATB voices and organ is a welcomed revoicing for church and school choirs.
