does anyone read this forum?

What's up?

Why doesn't anyone participate in these forums ACDA provides to it's membership?

I'm reading them now!

I didn't know that the site had been so beautifully updated since my last stop by.

This is the time that I begin looking for new music for the fall and Christmas seasons.
Specifically, I'm looking for some wonderful unison - 2pt children pieces for a Christmas Concert, and some SATB music to accompany Telemann's - Laudate Jehovam Omnes Gentes, on a Fall concert - an opener, and maybe a Mozart Missa Brevis, or Buxtehude Jesu Mine Freude?? Too much the same? any suggestions welcome - need something to draw in the music appreciators as well as other musicians in the community!
Of Course, if there are fav anthems that anyone would like to pass along . . . need those too.

Hi, Jared!

I have found the following pieces to be quite usable, no matter the size of your church choir. While mostly SATB, these anthems have pleased my congregation during the recent Advent and Christmas seasons. Please let me know if you are able to use them and if they were helpful.

Best,
Ken
