All of my music is self published and distributed through JW Pepper. Clicking "shop" will redirect you there. However, I work with choirs of all different sizes and budgets. If you see something you like that does not fit into your budget, please contact me directly at john.montez@johnmontez.com
Litany of Our Lady,
Solace of Migrants
This setting of the Litany of Loreto for advanced SSAATTBB choir and organ takes its title from one of the three new invocations that were added to the Litany by the late Pope Francis. The fiery Kyrie it opens with begs forgiveness for when we have mistreated the strangers among us. It ends with a plaintive and meditative setting of the antiphon "make us worthy of the promises of Christ." Additionally, this is to my knowledge, the first published Latin setting of the modern Litany of Loreto.

Good King Wencaslas
With solos and semi choruses, this arrangement tells the story of the good king with drama and flair. From the labored footsteps of the young page, to the jubilance and warmth of the line "bring me flesh and bring me wine!," this arrangement takes the listener through every step of the good king's journey.
