 “Es ist ein’ Ros entsprungen” is a German folk carol dating from the fifteenth or sixteenth century; it was included in several German Catholic hymnals shortly thereafter. Most present-day choirs have come to learn the piece through the harmonization of Praetorious, whose setting is augmented here by a fauxbourdon treatment of the second stanza by Proulx. This Praetorius/Proulx arrangement first appeared in a 2006 collection, Six A Cappella Christmas Carols (G-6463) and is published in single octavo form here for the first time. This arrangement was featured in two episodes of the HBO series The White Lotus, season 3, which aired in 2025.

Bless What Is Breaking is the debut collection from composer Kate Williams. A diverse set of collaborations with text authors such as Adam M.L. Tice, Hannah C. Brown, David Bjorlin, and others, this hymnody showcases Williams' fresh harmonic approach and melodic style. This timely collection is a transformative call and reminder to the Christian faithful that we must be committed to the poor, the migrant, the marginalized, the oppressed--all who suffer and are in need._x000D_ _x000D_ There is no doubt that our world is broken and in need of Christ's healing balm through the compassionate and prophetic witness of his people. This collection is ever so timely and needed! It provides a transformative call and reminder to the Christian faithful that we must be committed to the poor, the migrant, the marginalized, the oppressed--all who suffer and are in need. And it also reminds us that we are all broken in some way.  But in that that brokenness we are blessed and holy because Christ is within us and beside us. He is one with our suffering and makes us whole.  Let us put these prayers on our lips and in our hearts so that we may be the hands and feet of Christ to help the world heal and become one. _x000D_ _x000D_ —Danielle A.

This is a hymn for hard times, written during the global financial crisis of 2008. Like the biblical psalms of lament, the words move slowly but deliberately through struggle and despair toward praise. Two accompaniments are provided for this tune. The first is well-suited for a soloist singing the verses, with the assembly joining at “We will rejoice...” The second accompaniment provides more melodic support throughout.

Inspired by a passage in Oscar Romero’s The Violence of Love, this hymn reminds us of the transformative power of love. Lyrical and flowing, the melody is immediately inviting, calling us all to rejoice in love. This song is great for celebrating themes of faith, love for others, and social concern.

Composer Mark Miller brings us this powerful piece that will have the assembly singing immediately. Just 16 bars long, the song becomes a stirring call to action when sung repeatedly. Based on the words of Dorothy Day, “The greatest challenge of the day is: How to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us.” 

Accompaniment - ["Keyboard"]

This text was inspired by the writings of Martin Luther King Jr. The setting by Mark Miller builds tension through the first phrases referring to violence and hatred, leading to a dramatic catharsis as we sing about love as the only way to break the cycles that bind us.

Accompaniment - ["Keyboard"]

Miller's signature melodic craft is on full display in this setting of Zelman's text "In Our Sorrow." Inspired by Psalm 126, this song affirms that, even during times of sorrow, God's love continues to work through us. Appropriate for funerals and any services emphasizing themes of hope, renewal, and perseverance.

Accompaniment - ["Keyboard"]

This joyful anthem speaks to the overriding power of hope in the face of all our earthly ills. Especially perfect while we celebrate this Jubilee Year of Hope, the intuitive text structure combined with Miller's infectious tune combine for immediate assembly engagement.
