SAT8 a cappella – KH 052A – duration 2:30   
Written in memory of the famous director, Elmer Iseler, and premiered by the Elmer Iseler Singers – this composition floats with unfolding arpeggios. Very effective dissonances portray the sadness. In Memoriam would work well in any memorial or remembrance service. The composition was designed to be followed by Ruth’s Kyrie Fugue – but works fine as a “stand alone” work.

SAT8 a cappella – KH 052B – duration 4:05
Written in memory of the famous director, Elmer Iseler, and premiered by the Elmer Iseler Singers – this composition demonstrates Ruth’s talent. (Fugues are not easy to write well and this one is very convincing) The composition was designed to followed In Memoriam – but works fine as a “stand alone” work.

SAT8 with organ or piano – KH 096   – duration 3:45
Thankful praise in a stunning setting, Ruth really raises the roof with this anthem. See the back page – for the congregation – which can be extracted and put in the bulletin.
Thanks be to God for his saints of each past generation,
One with us still, in one body, one great congregation;
With them proclaim Jesus forever the same,
Author of life and salvation.
