I Am With You
Composer: Kevin A. Memley
Voicing: SATB
Season: Communion/Lent
Released: September 2020
Difficulty: Easy to Medium
Listen
Kevin Memley always writes beautiful piano accompaniments and he also smuggles in some sophisticated harmonies in the most clever and unassuming ways. The Isaiah text is one of assurance and the music provides that and much more. Beginning and ending calmly, the space in-between builds in intensity and then pulls back. Appropriate during Lent and communion, its general theme can be sung at almost any service of worship

What Is Water?
Composer: Judith Herrington

Voicing: Unison/2-Part
Released: September 2020
Difficulty: Easy
Listen
The question in the title may seem abstract but learning that the poet was five and the profundity behind her thoughts is the first impressive moment. The first melody line holds the weight of the question. The second melody dances while your thoughts become dazzled. Returning to the first theme you enjoy the unanswered questions of the ages from the innocence of youth. Easy.
