"Assembly Required...lifts up an important but often neglected role for the choir, leading the song of the whole assembly. In the pieces by today's gifted composers, leadership is provided by choir or cantor with the end of enabling all worshipers to join in the song. The styles encourage creativity- take what is contained here and imagine how this can expand and enhance the ministry of your choir." ~ Publisher's website

This second set is focused on assembly song for the Vigil of Easter. Contents include Easter Proclamation and Light of Christ, Rising in Glory by Marty Haugen; I Will Sing to the Lord by Julie Lindorff; and Processional Refrains by Zebulon M. Highben.
