Save the Date – Sacred Choral Reading Session!

Stanton’s is pleased to welcome back Lloyd Larson as our clinician for the August Church Choral Music reading session! His compositions and arrangements include well over 1,000 published works—including choral anthems, numerous extended Christmas, Easter and non-seasonal works, keyboard collections, vocal solo and duet collections, instrumental works for solo and ensembles, orchestrations, and handbell settings. The resulting notoriety has placed him in constant demand as a clinician throughout North America.

Your registration includes a packet of over 40 new choral anthems that are hand-picked from the hundreds published each year. We look forward to seeing you on August 11th for a wonderful morning of singing with one of the nation’s most sought after church music experts.

Last-minute Easter Solutions!

If you are in need of last minute piano and/or organ folios for your Easter worship service, you may want to look on our Easter Piano or Lent & Easter Organ. You can also search our dedicated organ website or sacred piano website.

Palms and Passion Suite

Easter is drawing nigh!  If you need piano music for Palm Sunday and Holy Week that will help your congregation connect with the Divine  and enhance your worship services, this carefully crafted , advanced level suite arranged by Mark Hayes will be just the thing.  Palms and Passion Suite includes three pieces:  ”All Glory, Laud and Honor” is perfect for Palm Sunday.  “Let Us Break Bread Together” brings to mind the first communion at the Passover table earlier in the evening before Jesus was arrested.  “There is a Fountain” reminds us not only of the cross, but the redemptive work done there.  To inquire about this book or other Easter or sacred piano books, email us  at keyboard@stantons.com or contact the piano department at 1-800-224-4257, extension 3.

Piano Music for Lent and Easter

Are you already thinking about music for Lent and Easter? From Ash Wednesday to Easter,  Stanton’s Sheet Music has a good selection of  piano sheet music for the holidays. Among many choices, two  collections come quickly to mind:

Jan Sanborn has a book of advanced arrangements called  ”A Month of Sundays-Easter and Lent.” Jan has arranged a prelude, an offertory, and a postlude for each Sunday in Lent.  These beautiful arrangements are sure to enhance your congregation’s worship experience.

“What Can I Play for Easter?”  is a collection of intermediate level pieces for Holy Week  designed to provide 10 pieces that are easily prepared for this busy week. The music strives to reflect the emotions of the events of Holy Week. Arranged by Cindy Berry, these pieces cover Palm Sunday through Easter morning.
