While I wait to see what the new Willow website comes up with later this week, I am going back the the Guitar Accompaniment Book c2005 from OCP. I have already covered the alphabetical hymn section and will skip the psalms and the redundant mass settings to the section called new music. This was a loose leaf collection so these were new songs to add presumably in 2006 and beyond.
This is a Dan Schutte song that I didn’t know. It is for Christmas and has verses for both Psalm 96 and Psalm 98 to choose from. It has a similarity in tune and theme to Bernadette Farrell’s “Christmas Psalm”. The verse wanders off into a different key with lots of triplets in an engaging way.
You can purchase the sheet music at OCP and the text is the preview they supply.
