For SATB choir and keyboard, this is a beautiful and affecting carol by Mark Schweizer with a text by Beverly Easterling. This works beautifully for Christmas and Epiphany and learning tracks are available!

We know you guys are Barons of the Organ Bench, Counts of the Choir, and Belles of the... well, Handbells! But SJMP knows you go deeper than that. Who among you are the Commandants of Compositions?

While we're starting to fill our publication schedule for 2022, we'd like to invite you to submit any of your polished original works for publication! Show us your beautiful, bold, or light-hearted scores. We'd love to see what you've been up to - now or anytime.

We're thrilled to have published a new work by Dr. Marty Wheeler Burnett (of COVID Conversations fame). It's a setting of the Trisagion for unison voices, handbells, and flute (or other treble instrument) that could be very effective this Advent.  Now available exclusively to SJMP Members!

Dr. Burnett will be talking about this and more during an upcoming webinar by Virginia Theological Seminary - Hope Incarnate: Planning Worship for Advent and Christmas. You can attend this Wednesday, September 16th from 3-4:30 PM ET. 

If talk about aerosols, social distancing, other challenges with church music amid COVID-19 raise your blood pressure, you're not alone. Let's talk about safe and healthy ways to move forward together. Sit down with Dr. Marty Wheeler Burnet and Dr. Kevin Simons for a conversation about church music amid COVID-19. Consider this the staff meeting you always wanted.
