Stumped as to where to find Moravian anthems?
You might want to try J.W. Pepper and SheetMusicPlus.com. We have ordered anthems for the lending library from both companies. SheetMusicPlus.com even has a great budget shipipng rate of $2.99 regardless of how much is ordered. The only downside is that the $2.99 shipping option might take a few extra days to get to your doorstep. You can always go down to your local music dealer and see if they'll order music for you.
The Moravian Music Foundation is currently working with a small printing company in Ohio to self-publish a small series of our favorite Moravian anthems, in standard octavo size. We hope to release 3 to 5 new titles each year and keep enough copies in stock to handle typical multi-copy orders from choirs around the country (and world!). The anthems will be old favorites re-edited according to the MMF's editing policies and newly discovered pieces from the MMF's collections. We hope to have some of the old favorites that are now out of print and very hard to find available in our new anthem series. Keep an eye out on our website and newsletter for more information.
The MMF currently has two small collections of anthems available for sale:
Come Then Come, O Flock of Jesus is a collection of nine Moravian athems for the smaller choir. The anthems are arranged for SAB choir with organ/piano accompaniment and the anthems are all in lower keys than they were originally composed. Single copies are $15.00 each and 10 or more are $12.00 each.
Unto the Lamb of God is a set of three anthems by Rev. Francis F. Hagen, composer of the beloved Moravian Christmas hymn Morning Star, O Cheering Sight. These anthems are for SATB choir with organ/piano accompaniment. Copies are $5.00 each.
This music can be ordered through our online catalog at http://www.moravianmusic.org/Sheet%20Music-vocal.php or by calling (336) 725-0651.
