November 2022

From Ron...

I’m pleased to announce two new resources for those seeking music possibilities for worship services marking Remembrance Day (Canada & Australia) and Veteran’s Day (USA) in November.

"IN FLANDERS FIELDS" by Pat Mayberry: This title is accessible to many due to the variety of versions included on the site including: Piano, Guitar, SATB, SAB, 2-part mixed (m/f), 2-part treble (SA), and Melody Versions for Vocal Solo and seven different transposing instruments.

LISTEN HERE to the recording of the entire song which represents a wonderful collaboration among family and friends of Pat’s separated by many miles and an ocean. Words and music are by Pat Mayberry and sung by her brother, Tom Mayberry. Piano accompaniment is provided by Marg Stubington based on an arrangement by David Kai.

"GOD! AS WITH SILENT HEARTS" words by Fred Kaan with a musical setting by yours truly: In addition to numerous Piano Accompaniments, there are settings for Guitar, SATB, SAB, 2-part mixed (m/f), 2-part treble (SA), and Melody Versions for Vocal Solo and seven different transposing instruments. Most of these versions are new to the site with thanks to nudgings from subscriber Phyllis Thompson.

LISTEN HERE to a lovely solo recording of this entire hymn by Sheelah Megill.

Earlier this month, I created a new SATB ANTHEM setting which is also now available as yet another version.

ANNOUNCING AN EXCITING NEW FEATURE!

Publishers often offer printed samples of portions of anthems to provide an opportunity for music directors to 'test-drive' a selection to determine if it is a fit for their choir and congregation. It’s fairly normal practice for these samples to be selected pages and/or miniature scores. Sometimes that kind of perusal sample is sufficient for our needs and sometimes not. Being consistent with the MUSIKLUS HONOUR SYSTEM, I’ve decided to offer full complimentary perusal copies of anthems, trusting that those using the site will know and do what is right.

The first sample I’ve completed is "GOD! AS WITH SILENT HEARTS". Find the full, printable perusal copy on the right hand side of the title page under the new heading: "PREVIEW SAMPLE". This is the first title to include the sample. We’ll send out announcements as others are created. Please let us know if this is helpful. RK
