JW Pepper

Outstanding composers of our time that everyone should perform:

JW Pepper recently selected two new releases as Editor’s Choice for the 2018 season.

The Lord Is My Shepherd  (SATB/piano or organ/opt strings) also for SAB and SA

A gorgeous original setting of this beloved text, the flowing accompaniment perfectly compliments the legato vocal lines. This score includes two flexible versions of the keyboard accompaniment. An additional organ part is included with this score.

Irish Blessing (SATB. unaccompanied)

“May the roads rise up to meet you, may the winds be always at your back… until we meet again.” This is a lovely a cappella choral texture with straightforward rhythms and close harmonies.Whether chosen for its moving text, its educational value or soaring optional descant, this piece is wonderful choice for both liturgical and concert settings. The comforting refrain “Until We Meet Again.” unfolds to reveal a rich (and accessible) harmonic palette that allows choirs to work on tuning chords. The optional descant is a wonderful way to showcase a soloist or small group.
