Requiem for the Living music cover

Requiem For The Living

This powerful five-movement piece, which incorporates both liturgical and non-liturgical texts, projects a wide spectrum of meaningful expression, from a caustic essay on the vanity and pain of existence, to a cry for forgiveness and a celebration of eternal light. Although the piece can stand on its own, it would be particularly emotional for All Saints Day, Good Friday, or even Palm Sunday. Requiem For The Living would also be particularly suitable for memorial services and funerals.

The Music of Living

The Music Of Living is yet another ebullient effort by composer Dan Forrest. A powerful and stirring choir composition with a compelling piano accompaniment and inspirational text — truly rapturous.

Music of the Living is part of our Dan Forrest Choral Series.

Good Night, Dear Heart

This tribute piece, Good Night, Dear Heart, based on a Mark Twain passage features the rich harmonic textures that can be heard in many of Dan Forrest’s compositions. Read the inspiring composer’s remarks if you’re planning to perform mixed divisi voices unaccompanied.

You Are The Music

You Are The Music is an award winning mixed chorus work with soprano solo accompanied by piano and horn which hauntingly sets the Amy Lowell text in a most engaging manner.

Dan Forrest’s compositions are equally at home in church, school, or college or university choruses.

Entreat Me Not To Leave You

A great many of us are familiar with this text because it is frequently used in wedding ceremonies and was derived from the book of Ruth. The words of Entreat Me Not To Leave You has now been expertly arranged by Dan Forrest for divisi mixed voices a cappella.

The conventional text from the book of Ruth has now also been re-voiced for an unaccompanied TTBB male chorus with divisi. The exquisite tone language and melodic expressiveness provide a setting that is authentic to the text for a competent advanced ensemble.

A Covenant Prayer

The words to this prayer were written by Methodist movement pioneer John Wesley. There are several possible arrangements offered by Dan Forrest A Covenant Prayer, including mixed chorus with divisi a cappella, mixed chorus with divisi and string orchestra, and mixed voices with keyboard accompaniment. This piece of music is fantastic for use in concerts or during times of commitment during church.

Try the SSAA voicing with organ or piano with the women of your church choir for stewardship commitment, ordination, or mission emphasis.
