Anne Wick is the soloist for "Your Children Gather," a contemporary worship song dedicated to Rev. Ken Krippner, Senior Pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Garland, Texas. This version is written for solo voice, two-part youth choir, violin and piano. Substitutions of flute in place of violin and the addition of acoustic or electric guitars, bass guitar, drums and/or hand percussion are all at home in this work for opening of worship.

The SATB anthem, "Precious Jewels," holds a special place in the Concordia Choir Series. Composed following the death of two young children, Nicodemus Phipps and Ryan Johnson, in a south Chicago house fire, it speaks tenderly of Jesus coming and gathering in His children for His crown. The source text, by William Orcutt Cushing (alt.), and the tune, by George Frederick Root, carry biblical weight. Zechariah 9:16 states, "The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of His people. They will sparkle in His land like jewels in a crown." The recording features the Sanctuary Choir of NorthPark Presbyterian Church under the direction of Tinsley Silcox.

The piano "Overture" to the Easter musical The Eyes of the Carpenter is a powerful, yet soothing musical statement. The musical emotionally reflects the story of the passion, death, and resurrection of our Lord as it may have been experienced through the mind of Joseph of Arimathea, the man who buried Jesus in his own tomb.
