A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
(Tune: Ein Feste Burg) Arr. Dale Elmshaeuser
No. LOH 2232 S $35.00

This concertato for congregation, SATB choir, handbells, brass quintet, optional timpani, chimes, optional triangle, and organ begins with a timpani roll and an intonation of the first four notes of the

chorale, followed by full brass fanfares. Stanza 1 (isometric version) features the brasses, and stanza 2 the percussion. A vigorous interlude leads to unaccompanied choir (rhythmic version) for stanza 3, and the opening themes and fanfares frame the congregational stanza 4 (isometric again), topped by a descant for choir sopranos.

Children of the Heavenly Father
(Tune: Tryggare Kan Ingen Vara)
Arr. Dale Elmshaeuser
No. LOH 2234 S $25.00

This is an anthem for SATB choir, two treble instruments, optional handbells, and organ. Over an organ pedal point, the treble instruments weave a pastoral, contrapuntal melody, based on the first three notes of the hymn tune. The organ provides support for choir trebles in unison on stanza 1 and choir men in unison on stanza 2. Stanza 3 in SATB harmony features the handbells, cued in the treble instruments. Stanza 4 has a different SATB setting, and ends with the opening contrapuntal theme in the treble instruments.

For All the Saints
(Tune: Sine Nomine)
Arr. Dale Elmshaeuser
No. LOH 2233 S $35.00

An unusual idea shaped this concertato for congregation, SATB choir, handbells, wood-wind quartet, chimes, optional orchestra bells and timpani, and organ. Instead of the "fight" theme so beautifully done by Vaughan Williams, Dale concentrated on the "rest" theme also found in the hymn text. After a single G by the chimes, the oboe begins with a haunting melody that is later joined by the woodwinds to accompany the first stanza, which is sung in unison by the choir. Organ, handbells and timpani accompany the congregation on stanza 2. Stanza 3 is for unaccompanied SATB choir, with the melody sung by the altos. In stanza 4, "The saints triumphant rise in bright array" is illustrated by having the flute(s) play "Behold a Host Arrayed in White" while the other woodwinds add their own accompaniment for the men of the choir singing "Sine Nomine." A short interlude leads to stanza 5, sung by the congregation, along with organ and all instruments.
