Sally Ann Morris

Sally Ann Morris lives and works in North Carolina. In 1990, she discovered the joy of composing hymn tunes, and since that time has written about 100, most of which appear in two collections from GIA Publications, Giving Thanks in Song and Prayer (1998) and To Sing the Artist’s Praise(2009). She has hymn tunes and her complete mass setting, Black Mountain Liturgy, in current GIA hymnals as well as the forthcoming Worship IV, Gather Comprehensive Third Edition, and Lead Me, Guide Me. Her hymn tunes also appear in the New Century Hymnal of the United Church of Christ, The Hymnal 21 in Japan, the 2005 Hymnal of the Church of Scotland, Hymns Ancient and Modern, and in other collections, hymnal supplements, and recordings.
