There are lots of great Amens that are worth exploring! This list will grow, and I will finish the annotations with time... I love a good Amen.
- Iona (T1AU) / MV219 Ameni Ameni (South African) A really fun Amen from South Africa. It's great if you can build up parts one at a time, and it's very easy for people to learn these parts if you do it that way. Good for kids.
- MV225 Amen (Traditional Chinese) A gentle two part Amen from China, making use of a traditional melody. You could get the congregation to sing one part while a choir or small group sings the other - alternatively, split the congregation into two parts and teach them both.
- WoV792 Amen Hallelujah (Javanese) Very simple; this could be good for when we have a combined service with our Indonesian congregataion.
- STB105 Amin Haleluya! (Indonesia) (Javanese melody) Another simple Alleluia. Might be the same one as above? I don't have both books in the same place so can't check.
- STB107 Amen (Indonesia) (Widyawan) A lovely 3 part Amen from Indonesia.
- STB108 Amen (China) (Chinese folk melody) This is very pretty, and would be fun to learn.
- TiS 704 / AoV2-090 / NCH760 / Iona (M&G) / CH824 / VU431 / WoV786 / ELW846 / SFFS 2067 / GtG598 / G(II)369 / GC536 / W&R741 / Cha030 / ZSS56 / URW398 / StF770 / LUYH921 / TFBF279 Amen We Praise Your Name O God / Siakudumisa / Masithi Amen (South African) An energetic Amen, best for a small group until the congregation learns it. Note, the GIA hymnals have an English version, which is not so great.
- CH820 / VU966 / PH584 / W&R743 Amen (Naumann) A simple single-fold Amen.
- NCH812 / CH819 / UMH898 / VU967 / PH586 / GtG601 / W&R744 Amen (Danish) The standard threefold Amen.
- VU968 / W&R746 Amen (Johnson)
- VU969 Amen (Kriewald)
- VU970 Amen (Merritt 1) (Merritt)
- VU971 Amen (Merritt 2) (Merritt)
- VU972 / PH585 Amen (Robinson)
- NCH814 VU973 Amen (Stainer) (Stainer)
- VU974 Amen (Strathdee) (Strathdee)
- NCH810 / UMH899 / UMH900 Amen (Persichetti)
- NCH811 / GtG599 Amen (Naumann) Dresden Amen
- NCH813 Amen (Carter) Fourfold amen
- NCH815 / CH823 Amen (Smith) Really very beautiful.
- CH821 Amen (Gibbons) A formal SAATB Amen, which is quite glorious if you have a good group of singers - for a choir or choral group, not a congregation.
- CH822 Amen (John Bell) A nice and joyous Amen. Very easy to teach. Can be sung as a round.
- CH825 Amen (South African) Nice simple Amen. Sounds a bit like Mungu ni mwema.
- GtG554 Amen (Proulx) Set to the American Folk tune Land of Rest (from a Communion Setting)
- GtG574 Amen (Pavlechko)
- UMH903 Amen (Baker) Threefold amen
- UMH904 / Srce27 Amen (Lutkin) Beautiful 7 fold Amen
- UMH902 / W&R742 Amen (Rutter)
- PH570 Amen (Weaver)
- PH587 / GtG600 Amen (African-American)
- PH588 Amen STB108 Amen (Chinese folk melody) This is very pretty, and would be fun to learn.
- STB107 Amen (Indonesia) (Widyawan) A lovely 3 part Amen from Indonesia.
- PH583 / GtG568 GC(II)149 G(3)201 Amen (Mass of Creation) (Haugen) Communion response A nice amen for the end of Communion
- LUYH915 Amen (The Themba Amen)
- Iona (M&G / T1AU) Amen Alleluia (South African) I love this one - very energetic, but needs work to teach it well.
- WoV792 / STB105 Amin Haleluya! (Indonesia) (Javanese melody) Another simple Alleluia
