This is our TENTH ANNIVERSAY
ISSUE of The Sewanee Composer’s Project. As part of our Anniversary
collection we are introducing 
The
Mass of the Nativity by Richard Shephard. This is a liturgical
choral mass based on traditional carols (Bohemian, French, Basque, Spanish,
German, English and Italian) for SATB Choir, Soloists, Organ, Oboe and
Violin – perfect for any Advent or Christmas Service. (The complete
orchestration [fl, ob, cl., bsn., 2 hrns, str.] is also available.)
The Mass includes a Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus and Benedictus, and Agnus
Dei and is 10 minutes in length.

Also included in this edition
is Come Down, O Love Divine by Roland Martin. This
is the Pentecost anthem you’ve been waiting for! Fire in the organ
part and a singable, moderately easy choral setting incorporating Veni
Creator Spiritus. The Desert Shall Rejoice by
Malcolm Archer is a wonderful Advent celebration of the Isaiah text
for mixed choir, organ and oboe. And that’s only a small sample
of what lies in store for you. Twenty-one anthems and the Mass of the
Nativity – Instrumental parts included.
