***David McCarthy Music Anthems and other church music, $5-$10 for all the copies your church needs.

"Now Let Us Have a Little Talk With Jesus"
This song is in most hymn books, and sounds absolutly wonderful with a SATB choir. Wow! Contributed by Lucas S.

Christmas Communion Service from St. James Music Press. Communion Words set to 3 common Christmas songs. Free download; $10 to use.

This is easy but sounds impressive. Wellsprings Music   has a wonderful introit "Come and Worship" for two parts plus handbells (We just used piano and it worked out fine.) by Douglas Macomber that can be downloaded and used for $10.

Favorite Publishers

St. James Music Press has books of 2 and 3 part anthems that you buy a license to make unlimited copies for within your church for about $55 for 20+ anthems. The music is economical and accessible (easy) as long as you have a reasonably good accompanist. You can also give your singers the web address so they can listen to the music on their own.

     I have subscribed to most choral review services.  I now only continue with Hope Publishing, Beckenhorst, and Morningstar.  They consistently have a higher quality of choral music than the other publishing companies.    There  are quarterly mailings of a listening CD and music.  You can subscribe at their web sites (linked above).
