I published this book to enable conductors and singers to easily use historical pronunciations in performance. It is now available as a paperback in English and an e-book in English, Spanish, and French. Enjoy!
Please feel free to contact me if you need help putting it together for a specific piece.

I am pleased to share this setting of the Amos and Micah text with you as a free download from the Discipleship Ministries of The United Methodist Church. I set the Micah text as a separate piece and later added the Amos. This recording is by the combined choirs of Tyler Street UMC Choir and The Texas Voices. Alan Dyer is the director. The score and recording is at the link below. I hope at some point in time you can make use of these texts in your services. Thank you for looking and listening. Tom Council
