In this collection you’ll find intermediate level arrangments, similar to the first three volumes of this fantastic series. Complete your set today!

Great for contemporary ensemble, Carol Browning's catchy refrains spark natural assembly participation. The spirited "Give Thanks to the Lord," based on Psalm107, is energetic and fun, while "O Lord, the Guardian of My Heart" offers a prayer of quiet strength. "With Grateful Hearts" is ideal for Thanksgiving celebrations. But perhaps the best and brightest of this great collection is "Ubi Caritas," a stunningly beautiful version of the classic chant text with music and verse texts by Browning.

Composer/Singer Susan J. Paul brings a new and powerful sound to GIA with her debut recording, We Will Remember. Susan's strong voice and infectious contemporary style combined with an incredible ensemble of musicians will have you singing along in no time! From the spirited optimism of "River of Hope" to the prayerful "Blessed," this recording is an exciting musical journey for the soul!

Blest Are They and You Are Mine represent the best from over 15 recordings by David Haas.

Recorded in Bristol, all selections are drawn from Songs and Prayers from Taize.

By Heart is an ambitious project that aspires to join in perfect union the liturgical rites of gathering, intercession, and communion with music of the season in such a way that participation in these rites becomes written upon the lips and hearts of those who worship. This recording includes simple, beautiful arrangements of some of the most beloved songs of the principal liturgical seasons. Familiar seasonal tunes like “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and John Bell’s “Take, O Take Me As I Am” are wedded to contemporary texts, making retention effortless. Alonso and Huck deftly demonstrate how “music and ritual can be so woven together that they become a single reality.”

Like the stations initiated by Pope John Paul II in 1991, Biblical Way of the Cross offers a scriptural account of the condemnation and crucifixion of Jesus. This deeper and more accurate portrayal of Jesus' final steps begins with Jesus praying in the Garden of Olives and journeys through his betrayal, condemnation, scourging, crucifixion, and burial. Haas also includes an optional fifteenth station commemorating Christ's resurrection. Haas's sensitive treatment of the Way of the Cross includes scripture readings, communal participation, and music by the celebrated composer himself as well as his contemporary, Marty Haugen. Biblical Way of the Cross is appropriate for any Lenten celebration and is perfect for Good Friday. These stations are sure to touch the heart and draw people into a more meaningful experience of this beloved Lenten ritual.

Enter In by Paul Tate and Ken Macek contains short singable songs for worship composed in the style of Taize. These beautiful arrangements are taken from the pair’s seasonal introit collections including Radiant Light and I Have Risen and In the Shadow of God. While conceived as gathering pieces for particular Sundays of the year, these mantras are appropriate for use as a prelude, an offertory procession, or a Communion meditation. Talents such as Lori True, Deanna Light, and more join forces on this beautifully arranged recording.

Dominic Trumfio (flute) and Kelly Dobbs Mickus (piano & organ) join forces for this CD, highlighting the broad spectrum of flute literature in the GIA catalog. The selections consist of arrangements and original compositions by Kathleen Basi, Jacques Berthier, Doug Denisen, Harold Owen, Richard Proulx, Richard Slater, and others. Several pieces are for unaccompanied flute.

In the Spirit of Taize, a new American recording of the music of Taize, was recorded live at Ascension Church in Oak Park, Illinois under the direction of David Anderson. Since October of 1992, on the first Friday of each month, Ascension Church has welcomed Christians from many traditions to pray in the spirit of the Taize Community. Praying in word, song, and silence, the gathering has grown from an initial group of 30 people to over 800 people each month, including both local Chicagoans as well as visitors from around the world. The purpose of this ecumenical gathering is to pray for peace and reconciliation throughout the world. Together, all who attend raise their voices in song, and as one worshiping body, they lift their hearts in reverent silence. Their differences are left outside. At Ascension’s monthly prayer in the spirit of Taize, praising God is all that matters. This magnificent recording truly captures the spiritual experience felt each month at Ascension and is a worthy record of the service’s outstanding reputation in the Chicago area and beyond. This recording is filled with the spirit of Taize!

By his words and actions, Pope Francis invites the global Church to a radically renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ in the presence of everyone and everything we meet. The songs in this collection are a response to that invitation. They sing of the risk and the promise of encountering Jesus in the gaze of those we love, those we struggle to love, those we fear, those we don't understand, even those who have caused us or others pain. We pray these songs will anchor the joy of taking that risk deep within the hearts of those who pray with them, inspiring the work of healing wounds and creating a revolution of tenderness in a world hungry for mercy and thirsty for justice. -Tony Alonso and Jeanne Cotter. This music is one element of a larger work of story, song, and prayer available to parishes and communities wishing to reflect on and pray with the words of Pope Francis.

It's all here: bounces, lullabies, songs for tickling and wiggling…music and rhymes from Feierabend's wonderful early childhood books! Each CD combines the very best for each age group from all 5 books—more than 60 selections on each recording, complete with a fully illustrated booklet of lyrics and special directions. All songs are performed with only one voice, guitar and string bass, following Feierabend's philosophy that simplicity in musical accompaniment makes it easier for children to focus on the important melody of the song. With this collection, John M. Feierabend and Luann Saunders present a simple way to make a connection between adult and child and develop a child's imagination, as well as enjoy a wonderful playtime together.

Once again, David Haas breaks new ground with the music collection Before I Was Born. This collection truly celebrates the new millennium with energy, providing new contemporary sounds with settings for Eucharist, sacramental celebrations, various seasons of the liturgical year, and celebrations that involve young people. Ideal for Millennium celebrations, Pentecost, and celebrations of initiation, "You Make All Things New" and "Breath of Life" stir the soul and invoke the Spirit. This collection also features songs that reach out to teens and the young-at-heart, especially "With You by My Side," which has already become a popular piece for liturgies, retreats, and other events with young people. David adds a powerful arrangement of the well-known spiritual "Give Me Jesus," and composer friends Lori True and Derek Campbell also contribute songs. This is truly a diverse and spiritually powerful collection for worship and prayer!

The Paschal Mystery (the life and deeds of Christ; his passion, death and resurrection) is at the center of the prayer and worship of all Christians. At our weakest moments in life, we turn to Christ, our brother, whose blessed grace promises forgiveness, healing and comfort. In our brokenness we often turn to the liturgy where we are fed by Christ's word and liberating meal of restoration. When We Are Weak, We Are Strong is a collection of liturgical music that prays and sings this mystery of suffering and the hope that in turning our sorrow over to Christ, such healing and restoration can be found and celebrated.

This major endeavor from David Haas includes an innovative new Mass setting—the first complete Mass he has written in five years—drawn from the musical motifs of his top-selling new communion song, "We Give You Thanks." David covers important musical ground with this project. In addition to the usual ritual moments set to music (the Kyrie, Gloria, gospel and eucharistic acclamations, Lord's Prayer, and Lamb of God), this project includes music for the dismissal of children and for children's Liturgy of the Word.
