This new 40-page anthology by various present-day composers consists of 14 choral pieces suitable for performance before, during or after the administration of Holy Communion. (Some pieces may be appropriate in other circumstances as well.) There is considerable variety in difficulty, texture, scoring, choice of texts, and compositional style.

Some pieces are for solo performance or unison singing, and may, for example, appeal to small choirs (as well as to larger groups) who can’t regularly field the full traditional SATB complement. As some churches and chapels no longer have organs, some items may be accompanied on piano.
