Come, receive Christ (Christopher Walker)

[gwyn]

Hello brethren (and sistren),

A month or so back some choir members went to a retreat for liturgical musicians led by Christopher Walker at Belmont Abbey, Hereford.

While there they were taken through a composition by Mr. Walker, "Come Receive Christ", The refrain runs:

Come to the table prepared for you.
Come with a heart that is humble and true.
Come and be filled with faith anew.
Come, receive Christ given for you.

It's a lovely piece, the copyright is © 2006 Christopher Walker, all rights reserved.

Does anyone know where I can get copies? The copy they brought back with them is a Walker-esque print Googling has yielded no fruit.

As you appear not to have received any reply after a patient wait, I have emailed Christopher Walker for the information!

Dear fishpeter.

Thanks so much for your kindness on my behalf. Christopher has been in touch granting my parish choir his pre-publication permission to use Come, Receive Christ.

This piece is soon to be published via OCP. It's delightful and, like much of Christopher Walker's music, works whether sung in unison, satb, or Cantor-sung verses / punter-in-the-pwe response.

I commend it to the house.

Best regards

Gwyn.

I am informed that a pre-publication copy of Chris Walker's 'Come, Receive Christ' is winging its way towards you! But I do not how!
