Through the Moravian Star Anthem Series, the Moravian Music Foundation publishes anthems by a variety of Moravian composers and non-Moravian composers represented in its collections, including newly-edited works, some “old favorites” in new editions, and new compositions. Each publication includes biographical information about the composer.
Full score and orchestral parts are available through the Moravian Music Foundation. Where listed with the anthem, the instrumental parts and full score are available for purchase for $10.00.
DUE to LOWER PITCH at the time of composition (the Tannenberg organ in Salem is A=413), some anthems may be HIGH for SOPRANO. Each purchaser of 10 copies is eligible to receive a copy of the ORGAN PART IN A LOWER KEY. Please make the request to Johana (336-725-0651 or johana@moravianmusic.org) for either of these items.
For most of the SSAB anthems, tenors can either sing with the basses or with the second sopranos
The Moravian Star Anthem Series publishes one to five new releases each year. Watch this page for updates as new titles become available!
BLUE series anthems (actually, navy blue) are by Moravian composers of the past; new editions from original manuscripts from our holdings.
RED series anthems are by 20th / 21st century Moravian composers.
GREEN series anthems are new arrangements of older Moravian anthems, adapted for smaller choirs, in lower keys and requiring fewer choral and instrumental forces.
