A profoundly moving meditation on the Sarum Primer (1545). Lush harmonies rise and fall to illuminate this plea for God to infuse every part of us with his essence. The quiet chant-like opening arrives at a gently flowing tempo that ebbs at the final phrase: “God be at mine end.” An exquisite piece!

In 2001, based on the foundation of the ground-breaking African American Heritage Hymnal, Dr. W. James Abbington Jr. began a journey that would create a legacy. His vision and leadership developed the African American Church Music Series, lifting up the work of Black composers, arrangers and authors through the breadth of sacred music from Black traditions: spirituals, traditional and modern gospel, hymn arrangements, anthems, keyboard literature, and an array of scholarly books. _x000D_ _x000D_ This volume celebrates the first twenty-five years of that series as well as the life of the man who birthed, grew, and nurtured it. Despite his unexpected passing in 2025, Dr. Abbington’s legacy lives on through the musicians and scholars he mentored and the music he tended with so much love and care. One of those musician-scholars, Dr. Brandon A. Boyd, now ushers in a new era as the series grows and expands under the name Abbington African American Sacred Music Series. _x000D_ _x000D_ Enjoy this look back through photos, complete listings of published works, reflections, and of course, beloved music as we welcome in the next 25 years of Black sacred music. _x000D_ _x000D_

This resource for Compline (Night Prayer) is a co-production between St Martin-in-the-Fields, where Lucy Walker is Composer-in-Residence, and the Royal School of Church Music._x000D_ _x000D_ Church of England liturgy has always been at the core of RSCM’s publishing, and we are delighted to be working with Andrew Earis, Director of Music at St Martin’s and Lucy to publish this beautiful setting of the music for Compline. As well as Lucy’s ethereal settings, we have provided the timeless original plainchant settings of the responses, to give an alternative to the new pieces in case choirs choose not to use entirely new Compline material. The new music is designed to be interchangeable with the original, allowing choirs to select parts from the new composition, or indeed sing the whole new setting._x000D_ _x000D_ Compline is suitable for more reflective times of the church year, in particular, Advent and Lent, and especially during Passiontide and Holy Week._x000D_ _x000D_ It is worth noting the difference in keys between the opening section of the service, that includes The Word of God, and the ending prayer section. The opening section is in brighter, sharp keys, whilst the following prayer section, as we head towards our bed and sleep, is in darker, flat keys. We suggest adding a few spoken prayers after the Nunc dimittis before the sung prayer responses._x000D_ _x000D_  _x000D_ _x000D_ https://youtu.be/5lcFG6AVJYA

Iron Rain pays homage to the mystery and the expanse of space through the words of planetary scientist and poet Dr. Sam Illingworth. On some distant planets, temperatures range from very hot to very cold, affecting iron and other metals in a way that causes them to evaporate and then eventually fall back down to the surface. This is a substantial work will be excellent for honor choirs and festivals.
