Sept. 30, 2014 - A FREE Anthem from St. James Music Press
Greetings!
Here at St. James Music Press, we always are happy to offer a free anthem on our site. It's our way of saying thanks! We think that if you do our kind of music on a regular basis, you DESERVE thanks. Keeping choirs alive and well in churches, large and small, is what we're all about.
The free anthem is Consecration by Frederick Chatfield. It is a lovely, compelling setting of Frances Havergal's hymn-text "Take my life and let it be." SATB with organ or piano. An SJMP favorite, and soon to be one of yours as well!
You can always find a FREE anthem on our site and they change seasonally. These anthems are right out of our catalog and we wouldn't put it in the catalog if we didn't think it was good.
Of course, our cunning plan in offering you this free anthem is to get you to realize that a yearly subscription to SJMP (only $139) will allow you to download anything and everything on this site - well worth the price since there are now over 1700 pieces up on SJMP.com.
If you're not yet a member of SJMP, or if you've let your subscription lapse!) we're happy to tempt you with this FREE ANTHEM. Consecration - by Frederick Chatfield. And this is a winner! You have Pledge Sunday approaching ... Thanksgiving ... Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 27) ... and VOILA! Here it is! It's one of our favorites - so much so that we almost always include it in our reading packets. Hey, just give it a listen.
YOU DO HAVE TO LOG-IN TO DOWNLOAD THIS ANTHEM.
It's free. Yes, free. (Did we mention that it's free?)
BUT - As a subscriber, ANY and ALL of the music on SJMP is yours to download and reproduce.
(Amazing, isn't it?) Anthems, Psalms, Organ Music, Descants, Brass and Organ Hymn accompaniments, Cantatas, a Children's Music program, Handbell Music, Mass Settings ... just give it a look. Wow!
