Celebrate Christmas in July, church musician style!

When July comes, my thoughts turn to Christmas. Not for the reason you may be thinking of – trying to find an alternative family gathering time to avoid the complications of the Christmas season – but because I need to get ahead in my worship planning so I and my musical ensembles are ready in plenty of time! So if, like me, you’re working ahead, here are a few suggestions from our catalogue for Christmas songs and anthems for you to try with your community. (Many more results are available by searching for “Christmas” in the keywords search box in the sidebar.) Enjoy!

There is Room for All – a song of inclusion!

Our song “There is Room for All” from the album This is the Day is proving again to be a song of inclusion for many! The National LGBTQ Task Force in the US has included our song in their list of LGBTQ-affirming and welcoming-themed songs for worship communities to use as they explore the backlash to marriage equality and the rise of anti-LGBTQ laws in many states.

There are two pdfs available in our catalogue: one for the full score, including SATB harmony and a piano accompaniment, and the other for the SATB score alone, a single-page simpler option to print for choirs. MP3 recording also available. Visit the “There is Room for All” catalogue page for all options.

Let’s sing equality for all into our hearts!
