Go in Peace to Love and Serve the Lord

With its themes of discipleship and evangelization, this piece is ideal for use as a sending forth song. The included trumpet part adds fanfare to the very singable melody. Originally written as a recessional song for Mass at the end of a meeting of the Portsmouth Diocesan Pastoral Council, this piece is dedicated in homage to the late Sydney Carter (1915_x0013_ 2004, author/arranger of _x001C_ Lord of the Dance_x001D_ ) since it imitates some aspects of his characteristic English folksong style.
