“When the fullness of time had come, God reached down and sent His Son.”
Christmas is coming!
Here are some SATB Christmas Anthems from Worship Sounds Music
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
“A Christmas Hymn”
(subtitle: Christ is Born Today, SATB)
Written by Worship Pastor and Composer Travis L. Boyd, “A Christmas Hymn” is subtitled “Christ is Born Today”. The message is a proclamation of Christ’s birth, sharing all He came to be as the “crowning jewel of God’s great plan”.
The Accompaniment Track, as heard in this music video, works for either the Choral or Solo version of the Song. “A Christmas Hymn” is available as an SATB Choral and as a Vocal Solo. The mp3 Accompaniment Track also comes with a lead sheet.
“O, Come, O Come, Emmanuel”
MEDIUM DIFFICULTY SATB
A fresh, new arrangement of the well-loved Christmas carol, this anthem features a rhythmic verse section with a new melody in a minor key. The longing for the coming Messiah comes through clearly as the familiar words are heard in their new melodic setting. The traditional refrain is woven into this arrangement, with a special treatment for one of the verses. This anthem is suitable for Adult or Youth Choirs. It would be an excellent anthem for Advent or your Christmas program.
PLEASE VIEW THIS VIDEO DEMO IN FULLSCREEN MODE TO SEE LYRICS BEST.
“The Praises of the King”
MEDIUM DIFFICULTY SATB
This anthem is a rhythm, energetic song of praise that will have your choir and congregation rejoicing! It would work well as an opening song or closer for your Christmas program or a wonderful anthem to use during the advent season. Both the introduction and the ending for this anthem feature some of the melody from “For Unto Us a Child is Born”. Some creative options for this anthem include using it as a combined Adult and Student Choir anthem. The 2-Part verses could be sung by the Youth Choir, leading into the full SATB sections where the Adult Choir would join. In addition, the verses could be sung as a male/female duet, with the same duet on both verses or a different pair of singers for each verse. “The Praises of the King” is suitable for Adult or Youth Choirs.
“Glory to the Newborn King”
MODERATELY DIFFICULT SATB
This anthem is a bluesy, rockin’ celebration of Christ’s birth. Your choir will find this one easy to learn and fun to sing, and the joyful message will resonate with your congregation.
“Christmas Joy”
MODERATELY DIFFICULT SATB
This 6/8 anthem is perfect for the Christmas Season. It could be sung by Youth or Adult Choirs or in a combined choir presentation. It’s length and the upbeat style and message make this anthem appropriate for any worship service or Advent program.
“God Reached Down”
MODERATELY DIFFICULT SATB
This anthem is a meaningful and lyrical testimony of God’s love for us as “reached down, and sent His Son”. It features an optional flute descant. Your choir and congregation will be touched by this message about the incredible gift given to us through the birth of Christ.

Our goal at WorshipSounds Music is to make it possible for Choral Directors to purchase anthems for choir and ensembles, anthem orchestrations, and music for soloists that will allow the musicicans in your Church or Christian School to sing and play for God’s glory, sharing a message that will draw hearts to Him. We believe that Choral Music is an important part of Worship Ministry and that messages can be shared through the ministry of a choir that will not have the same impact if shared in any other way.
We are a friend to Worship Ministry in general, to Choral Music in particular, and to music budgets!
We also offer many choral anthems that are fully orchestrated, with orchestrations costing $25.00 or $30.00. All of our orchestration include all parts for strings, winds, and percussion, a full score, and a string reduction for keyboard. They are written to be practical for church musicians and to sound wonderful no matter what your group’s instrumentation may be. Great care is taken during the arranging process to make certain that the instrumental parts complement the message of the anthem without “covering up” the choir.
You will find excellent choral music that is meaningful and memorable, that has a Biblically sound message of praise and hope, and that is a joy to sing!

Travis has added a new orchestration to the WorshipSounds Music website! The Director of a large choral group which is singing Travis’ modern hymn and choral arrangement of “A Prayer for the Saints” in TTBB voicing requested a full orchestration for his group. The new orchestration for “A Prayer for the Saints” was added to our website this morning. Like all of Travis’ orchestrations, it is written to be practical for church orchestras as far as difficulty level and to work well with Church Orchestras with varying instrumentation. Travis is always very careful to make sure that the instrumental parts complement the choral arrangement well without covering up the choir. He has had more than one Director remark about the fact that his Orchestrations are very well written in that they enhance the choral parts without overwhelming them.
The Sons of Jubal in concert at First Baptist Church of Lilburn, Georgia, under the direction of Dr. Jon Duncan
“A Prayer for the Saints” is a through composed modern hymn that voices a prayer of longing to draw near to the Lord. It essentially puts into words the desires of the heart for every Christian who wants to walk more closely with the Lord and live in a way that glorifies Him. The TTBB anthem arrangement was selected by Sons of Jubal Director, Dr. Jon Duncan, as the theme song for this year’s annual Sons of Jubal retreat in January, 2012. “A Prayer for the Saints” is also in the current repertoire of The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma, directed by Dr. Randy Lind. On our website, we currently have available the anthem arrangment of this hymn in SATB and TTBB Voicings, the full Orchestration, and a Worship Pak, which includes hymnal or bulletin size reproducible hymn sheets, a Vocal Solo/congregational arrangment with piano accompaniment, and lead sheets for rhythm section.

“For the Glory of God” is a choral anthem written by Travis L. Boyd, which can currently be found on our website’s Adult Choir music page in SATB, SSAA, and TTBB voicings. There is also a full orchestration available for this anthem. “For the Glory of God” features gently syncopated verses which lyrically extol the character and person of our great God, along with a strong chorus that begins with a statement of who God is in our lives, leading into an “Alleluia” section that ends with a description of our praise for Him and a re-statement of the reason for our praise. This anthem is in the current repertoire of the Georgia Baptist Convention’s Jubalheirs, under the direction of Dr. Jon Duncan
First Baptist Church of Dublin, Georgia
A SONG STORY “For the Glory of God” has been a demonstration of love that began as a desire to glorify God while also encouraging the heart of a Georgia Minister of Worship. Travis was contacted by some people who were active members of the Chancel Choir at First Baptist Church of Dublin, Georgia. They wanted to commission an anthem in honor of the 25th Anniversary of service to the Lord and to their congregation by their Minister of Worship and Music, Dick Burrell. It was the desire of these good people to encourage the heart of this dear servant of God through a worship song that could be sung by the choir on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary and would also then be sung by countless churches all around the world for the glory of God. Travis normally takes as inspiration for any commission work the favorite scripture and favorite hymn title of the person or group the song is being written for. In this case, there were no specifics given along these lines. Travis was told that Dick likes rhythmic choral anthems. Of course, the ultimate purpose of the piece would be to bring glory to God while also being a personal expression of love and encouragement from the choir members to their Director and Minister of Worship, who had served faithfully for many years and had recently lost his dear wife, Vicki.
The First Baptist, Dublin, ministry team did a great job pulling off the surprise for our brother Dick Burrell. What a great testimony of love from these people, who began working on this surprise months in advance. I know that brother Dick and all of their church would join with Travis and myself in praying that this song will go on to touch and reach hearts that we will not know on this side of Heaven. Here is the thank you
e-mail that brother Dick sent to Travis on Monday, Jan. 9th, 2012, after he been surprised with the anthem the day before:
Dick Burrell leading in worship, with the FBC Dublin Chancel Choir
“Dear Travis,
Thank you so much for the anthem, For the Glory of God. The Chancel Choir (over 40 voices yesterday) sang it in our morning worship. They had rehearsed whenever I was out of town at our church and other times when I was in town at either Pine Forest Methodist or FUMC. They did a wonderful job. Our pianist was a piano performance major at Shorter in the early 70’s and did post grad work at the Mozarteum in Austria. They all got such a kick out of keeping this from me—-I had no clue. I look forward to a bit later working on it with them and doing the anthem again. You may not know that the Jubals sang God Is Faithful at my sweet Vicki’s memorial service last March, so, it was most appropriate that they commissioned you to compose the anthem for my 25th anniversary.
“For the Glory of God,” like all of Travis’ anthems, is written to be performed with or without the full orchestration. The piano part is supportive, and chord symbols are included on the music for a rhythm section. The orchestration is written to be practical for church orchestra and will work with a wide variety of instrumentation, though all of the parts are available for full instrumentation. Travis is always careful in the writing of an orchestration to allow the orchestra to meaningfully enhance the performance of the anthem but also to make sure that the choir is not “covered up” when the orchestra plays. You will be more than happy with the results of this attention to detail and to the communication of the message.
“For the Glory of God” is available on our website’s adult choir page @ http://www.worshipsounds.com You purchase the PDF master copy in your choice of full page or octavo format for $15.00, and then you are allowed to make an unlimited number of copies (for your own choir and rhythm section only).

“For God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. John 3:17
There’s a new addition to the WorshipSounds Music Website!
The powerful message of the anthem “For the Sins of All” is now available for SATB Choir. There is also a beautiful, full orchestration available. The lyrics of this anthem tell the story of the amazing, sacrificial love of God and the incredible demonstration of grace in action as Jesus laid down His life in order to provide salvation for us…for the sins of all.
This anthem also has a Full Orchestration available. In addition, there is a Vocal Solo in of this song on our website’s Home Page in the left sidebar. The Vocal Solo is available in 3 keys. Both the Orchestration and our brand new Accompaniment Track (which features the Orchestration) work with both our SATB Choral Anthem and the Medium Voice Vocal Solo. We do not yet have Accompaniment tracks for the other 2 Solo keys. You can hear the Accompaniment Track with a Vocal Solo demo at the end of this post. Scroll down to our Sound Cloud recordings of “For the Sins of All”.
Here are the lyrics to “For the Sins of All”
(Verse 1)
“The tiny cries of a baby in a manger,
A rugged cross on a hill called Calvary,
The perfect plan of a holy, loving Father
Who gave His son to rescue you and me.
(Chorus)
For the sins of all
He walked the road to Calvary.
For the sins of all
He suffered on that tree.
With a final shout of victory,
He changed the course of history.
For only He could answer Heaven’s call
And die upon a rugged cross
For the sins of all.
(Verse 2)
Before the world was ever set in motion,
Before the dawn of mankind had begun,
Before the name of Jesus had been spoken,
The Father chose to sacrifice His Son.
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
Through the life He led and the blood He shed
And the sacrifice He made,
He was reaching out with eternal love
To the ones He came to save.
(Repeat chorus, with tag ending)

Over 700 musicians presented a glorious worship concert, which was recorded on a DVD and CD, both entitled “Foundations.”
** THE SINGING CHURCHMEN OF OKLAHOMA,
THE SINGING CHURCHWOMEN OF OKLAHOMA,
and THE OKLAHOMA BAPTIST SYMPHONY **
Through the years, our lives have been blessed and enriched through the experience of worshipping together with other believers. As we all focus on our loving God and Savior, our hearts are united in praise. Many of these experiences have been in our local church congregations, while still others have been at camps or retreats, special worship concerts, prayer meetings in homes, or even in choir rehearsals. It has been especially meaningful to Travis when his music has been a part of these times of worship, whether in large settings or in the home of a friend and brother in Christ. Many of our closest relationships have been with fellow worshippers who have servant hearts and long to use their gifts to glorify the Lord through music, often in choral groups. These incredible times of worship and fellowship are only a faint shadow of the rejoicing and praise that will take place in eternity. Many times, we’ve imagined all of these choirs and congregations…and so many more…gathered around the throne of God in worship. We’re very thankful that God has called Travis into His ministry and has allowed him to write songs that have been used by these choirs (and so many others that we’ll never know about this side of heaven) to worship and praise the Lord.
In this photograph (courtesy of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma), The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma, The Singing Churchwomen of Oklahoma, and The Oklahoma Baptist Symphony are in concert at the First Baptist Church of Moore, Oklahoma. Choir members from both choral groups not only filled the choir loft but also two sections of pews, one on either side of the platform, and the steps to the balcony on both sides of the choir loft. A Concert DVD and CD were recorded live at this incredible worship concert, and Travis’ SATB choral anthem, “Amazing Grace, Eternal Life!” (published by the Lorenz Corporation, Monarch Division, 10 3228M) was a part of both the worship concert and the recordings. What an incredible day this was, as over 700 musicians from all over the State of Oklahoma worshipped together all through rehearsals and on through the concert that evening. Soli Deo Gloria!
Here is the Sound Cloud audio of the recording of “Amazing Grace! Eternal Life!” made by The Singing Churchmen and Churchwomen of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Baptist Symphony.
What a blessing these groups have been in our lives and in the lives of countless others around the world. All glory and praise to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who, through His amazing grace, made it possible for us to have eternal life.

“Amazing Grace, Eternal Life!” is a majestic anthem of testimony, steadily building in intensity to the victorious ending. The words to the bridge come directly from scripture, John 3:16 & 17.
Here are the lyrics to “Amazing Grace, Eternal Life!”
“There is a Love sent down to man,
A rugged cross, a spotless Lamb,
A life laid down, a sacrifice,
Amazing grace, eternal life!
There is a hope beyond the grave
With love so deep and power to save,
Rising above all earthly strife,
Amazing grace, eternal life!
There is a peace that all can know.
It calms the heart and heals the soul.
“Come Unto Me,” the Savior cries!
Amazing grace, eternal life!
God so loved the world that He gave His Son
For us to believe in Him.
For the Son was not sent to condemn the world,
But to save us from our sin!
There is a home prepared for all
Who on the name of Jesus call.
A place of rest, a throne on high…
Amazing grace, eternal life!
A place of rest, a throne on high…amazing grace! Eternal life!
Amazing grace!”
