When Music Wakes My Sleeping Heart
A Hymn Concertato on an Original Tune Appleton
Text: Delores Dufner, OSB
Congregation, SATB Choir, Brass Quintet, Timpani, and Organ. (May also be performed with one Trumpet and Organ.)
This hymn and setting make a great alternative to Pratt Green's When In Our Music God Is Glorified (Engleberg). Though the tune looks tricky, it's actually very easy to sing!
"Martinson's new hymn, When Music Wakes My Sleeping Heart, commissioned for the convention, was a particular highlight—full of majestic sweep and innovative harmonies." — The American Organist

Transfiguration
"We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding"
Text: Carl P. Daw, Jr.
Unison with Soprano Descant and Organ
This best-selling octavo is a prime example of how successful a composition can be which fills a void in the corpus of liturgical repertoire. Carl Daw's text is perfect for all celebrations of the Transfiguration story, as well as for any "true worship" services of the twenty-first century Christian congregation.
"…The congregation sang the new tune very well. It is going to be a favorite very soon, and that's obvious. Thank you for writing 'Transfiguration' for us. I feel that it makes a special link between you and people of this parish." — Terence C. Roper
