A Field of Voices: Hymns for Worship

This collection of thirty hymns and songs are suitable for all-age Christian worship in a variety of settings - house churches, small congregations, formal and informal. The contemporary texts by poet David Wright are either based on scripture or highlight such themes as community, Eucharist, hospitality, repentance, justice, healing, and blessing. The music, by composer James Clemens, is fresh and well constructed for congregational singing in a variety of styles from standard hymnody to folk, Native American, gospel, early American, and chant. About a third of the selections may be learned and performed without paper.
