Our Hymns, Our Heritage encourages a love and appreciation for the church’s hymns—a significant way to pass the Christian faith from generation to generation.
The book features music and lyrics for 121 hymns that every person should know, drawn from a cross-section of styles, themes, and historical eras. The hymns are divided into sections based on the church year, God’s nature and attributes, and our responses to Him. Each hymn is presented on single book spread—the left-hand page gives a brief biography of the text’s author and the melody’s composer as well as a devotional summary to aid singing with understanding. The right-hand page is hymnal-like with the music and stanzas for simple playing and singing.
Our Hymns, Our Heritage can be used by parents and educators alike to instill a life-long love for the richness and beauty of hymns.
for SATB and orchestra Magnificat is a joyous celebration of the
Virgin Mary, inspired by feast-day festivities in countries such as
Spain, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Following the example set by Bach,
the Magnificat text is extended, incorporating the
fifteenth-century English poem 'Of a Rose', the prayers 'Sancta
Maria', and the 'Sanctus' (set to the Gregorian chant of the Missa
cum jubilo). The full scores, for orchestra or chamber ensemble,
are now available on sale for the first time in handsome,
cloth-bound editions, and the newly set orchestral parts are
available on hire.
