Once again, Dr. James Abbington has combed the extensive resource that is the African American Heritage Hymnal and uncovered yet another 46 hidden treasures. Again, using the talented voices of the Morgan State University, he has produced this stirringly inspirational and joyous recording for your listening pleasure. The first recording, 49 Hidden Treasures, was extremely successful and heartily welcomed. With the success of that first recording it became apparent that a second volume would need to be produced. It is our hope that 46 More Hidden Treasures becomes as valued a resource as its predecessor!

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.

The world renowned Westminster Choir College’s Williamson Voices presents this new release with music from some of the greatest choral composers of all time, including Britten, Bruckner, Mendelssohn, Part, and Whitacre. The sound worlds which are explored in this release are colorful, vivid, and contrasting. Britten’s “Jubilate Deo” is joyful and shimmering, Mendelssohn’s “Veni Domine” adds a unique texture as a work for women’s choir, and the “Kyrie” from Tomas Luis de Victoria’s 1604 Requiem casts an enchanting and timeless glow over the listener. The music chosen for this program has a common thread, and that is the ability to tear a hole into our spiritual core and provide a deeper understanding of life and living. The Westminster Williamson Voices is conducted by James Jordan, and was described by Gramophone magazine as an ensemble of “intimate and forceful choral artistry,” with a tone that is “controlled and silken in sustained phrases as they are vibrantly sonorous in extroverted material.”

Twenty-four of the most widely sung psalm settings for the church year adapted using the texts of the Revised Grail Psalter by two of the most notable composers in sacred music today. Marty Haugen and David Haas have combined forces to retrofit some of their most beloved psalm settings from the Psalms for the Church Year series with the new Grail Psalter texts. The refrains are now faithful to the wording from the Lectionary for Mass and each of the 24 psalms in this collection now employ the precise translations from the Revised Grail Psalter. The verses on a number of the psalms have been arranged to offer performance options as either an accompanied melodic line or as a chanted psalm tone. These new arrangements are true to the new texts while still honoring the beautiful melodies of the original settings.

In his new collection, Liam Lawton explores the role of angles in our lives. Voices of Angels is a prayer ritual that invites the listener into a deeper understanding of the gift and presence of God's angels. Some of the songs in this edition were newly composed to enhance the writings and reflections of this project, while others had already existed in the life of the Church. Through the interweaving of scripture, inspired writing, music, and prayer, Voices of Angels creates an opportunity for communities to gather outside of the regular celebration of the Eucharist for reflection and prayer in another age-old worship tradition - but in a contemporary setting. The tradition of our church has always accorded angels a very large place in its theology. Many saints have written about or referenced the presence of the angels. At various pivotal moments in the history of salvation, the angels were present. Their duty was - and is - to lead all of humankind toward the realization of the kingdom of God.

Living Spirit, Holy Fire is a monumental and refreshing collection of compositions suitable for any celebration of the Spirit.

Each two-CD set celebrates the role and presence of the Holy Sprit in the life of the church and in the prayer life of believers. Living Spirit, Holy Fire includes songs, hymns, psalms, acclamations, and ritual music composed for liturgical celebrations and catechetical events, focusing on celebrations of initiation, especially the sacrament of confirmation. Biblical and ritual texts and fresh settings of the challenging and powerful poetry of Ruth Duck, John Bell, Mary Louise Bringle, Bill Huebsch, and Shirley Erena Murray join together with newly written texts by David Haas and others.
