GIA Publications, Inc., the publisher of numerous single-author and single-composer collections of hymn texts and tunes, has put together its first-ever anthology of hymns.

While insufficient in number for single-author or single-composer editions, these new texts and tunes by a diverse group of creative people are worthy of having the opportunity to “find their vocation.”

Encompassing a variety of styles, this collection of 50 hymns includes new texts by John Dalles, Jacque Jones, Joy Patterson, John Thornburg, and new tunes by John Karl Hirten, Ron Krisman, and Leo Nestor. Also included are texts and tunes by John L. Bell, Mary Louise Bringle, Ruth Duck, Delores Dufner OSB, Sylvia Dunstan, Marty Haugen, Sally Ann Morris, Carl Schalk, and Adam Tice.
