Uniting beauty and simplicity, Laudate Omnes Gentes comes from the heart of the Taize Community as it brings together well-known songs by Jacques Berthier and more recent songs composed by brothers of the Community. Listeners will be enchanted by the gloriously delicate choral sound, recorded at the twelfth-century village church at Taize. Using a small group of just sixteen singers and five instrumentalists, the aim of this recording is to encourage smaller groups to use music during their meetings.

The collection is rounded out with a wonderful selection of tunes for Ordinary Time. The recording is ideal for quiet listening, reflection, and meditation.

From one of GIA’s most accomplished composers comes a compelling collection of new music suitable for use throughout the liturgical year. Filled with expressive texts and exquisite melodies, Tony Alonso’s A House of Prayer shows a depth of wisdom and a maturity of craftsmanship that represents some of his finest work to date. Tony’s impassioned setting, “Be My Hands and Feet” evokes the heartbreaking imagery of Christ’s sacrifice while the stunning Mary Louise Bringle text calls us to be his hands and feet here on earth. “A Joyful Christmas Gloria” is exactly that! This contemporary rendering is a wonderful blending of the tune from “Angels We Have Heard on High” with the “Gloria” text from the 2010 Revised Order of Mass and features an uplifting piano arrangement by Jeanne Cotter. “From the Many Make Us One”—a collaboration with Gabe Huck—is sure to be an instant communion classic that you will come back to again and again. Each song provides exactly what good liturgical music should: they reach in, open the mind, touch the heart, and imprint on the soul. This music speaks to the needs of the church and will truly inspire the sung prayer of your assembly.

New from Rory Cooney comes a glorious collection of music for the Advent and Christmas seasons. Many of the selections in this collection use tunes gathered from the traditions of various European cultures. Rory arranges these beautiful melodies and adds his own evocative texts, creating nostalgic yet new expressions of the Christmas story. The jewel in this Christmas crown is surely Rory’s SAB arrangement of “In the Bleak Midwinter.” It begins gently, quoting the first stanza of the Christina Rossetti text, then branches out into Rory’s own moving exploration of Christ’s incarnation. The “Christmas Gloria”—based on the familiar French carol “Angels We Have Heard on High”—employs the text from the 2010 Revised Order of Mass. In this arrangement the third stanza of the prayer soars above the final refrain as an exhilarating soprano descant. Much of the newer music in this collection can be done a cappella. To enhance the texture, include the piano accompaniment, strings, and flute. Perfect for any choir large or small, the songs in Like No God We Had Imagined will add sparkle to your holiday liturgies.

High voltage electricity - unplugged! Tony Alonso and Michael Mahler cross currents on their exciting new recording Songs from Another Room. The range and versatility between these two young GIA artists surges with a palpable energy that only this kind of chemistry creates. Armed with only acoustic instruments, Alonso and Mahler deliver electric performances on songs like "My Savior, Your Son," and "Te Ensalzare.” The beautifully crafted lyrics of "My Love Will Be Waiting for You" tells the compelling story of the prodigal son while the emotional musical setting of "And Jesus Said" paints Shirley Erena Murray's gorgeous text in passionate colors of consolation. The pinnacle of this recording is surely "Were I the Perfect Child of God." John Bell's provocative poetry is perfectly fused with an exquisite tune from an old Scottish love song. Songs from Another Room is a must have. It's acoustic music with a positive charge!

Hear this recording once and the tunes and lyrics will remain with you for a long time. "One Is" has become an instant success that unites "the living, the unborn, the dead."

Three inspired liturgical musicians combined their talents once again to create this hit. Rory Cooney wrote all the music and lyrics except for the music of "Covenant Hymn," which was written by Gary Daigle, who also produced the recording. The incredible vocal talent of Theresa Donohoo contributes to wonderfully pleasant listening.

The Rosary with St. James is an alternative way of praying the rosary (individually or in groups) that combines the repetitive and contemplative aspects of praying the rosary with the message that Christ's disciple James preached-the message that “faith without works is dead.” The rhythm, the structure of the five decades, and other aspects of the more traditional praying of the rosary are the same. Interspersed throughout there are also musical responses along with inspired passages from the “cloud of witnesses,” including Óscar Romero, Peter Maurin, Martin Luther King Jr., Harvey Milk, St. Francis of Assisi, St. John Paul II, Dorothy Day, Mahatma Gandhi, St. John XXIII, St. John Baptist de la Salle, Robert F. Kennedy, St. Teresa of Ávila, Adrienne Rich, Helen Keller, and Henri Nouwen. Praying The Rosary with St. James will reconnect you with one of the richest prayer traditions of our faith while encouraging you toward a life of discipleship.
