This recording highlights the tremendous contribution of black composers to the repertoire of church and concert organists. Includes organ works by composers from the late nineteenth century to the present day. The masterfully arranged spirituals and dynamic original compositions can add the perfect touch to a worship service. Artist Nathaniel Gumbs has been recognized as "one of 20 outstanding organists under 30 years old for his achievement in organ performance and church music (The Diapason magazine, 2017). The Newberry Memorial Organ, in Woolsey Hall at Yale University, heard on this recording is one of the most renowned Romantic organs in the world.

This collection is easily among David's best. These are innovative songs that will have you humming long after the music has ended. They are celebrations in the true sense of the word.

This collection will add new life to your celebration of Lent, Holy Week, Triduum, and the Easter Season. Begin on Ash Wednesday with "Return to God" and continue through the Lenten season with "I Need You to Listen" and "Let Justice Roll Like a River." Process on Palm Sunday with "Ride on Jesus, Ride." All three stations of the Triduum will be graciously linked together with "Wondrous Love" and the Vigil enhanced by "Song at the Empty Tomb." "We Are God's Work of Art" and "Come to the Feast" will enliven the great fifty days...plus, much more!

Recorded in 1988 and still considered one of the most beautiful mass settings ever written, Michael Joncas's No Greater Love offers cathedral-style music that invites congregational participation. Multiple arrangements allow for flexibility in format and variety of instrumentation. Perfectly suited for Lenten liturgies, No Greater Love uses the Eucharistic Prayer for Reconciliation II, which has as its theme the mystery of reconciliation. The setting includes the beloved song "No Greater Love," which has become a popular "classic" and is used regularly at Catholic Masses year after year.

Iona music unfolds simply here, through the clear vocality of The Cathedral Singers. God Never Sleeps is a collection of musical firsts—first American recording of Iona music, first performance of the music by The Cathedral Singers, and John Bell's first U.S. recording. One of the most enriching and most popular songs to come out of the Iona Community, "The Summons (Will You Come and Follow Me)" is included here.

In response to many requests, David has gathered together his most popular Lent and Easter music into one convenient collection—most available for the first time on compact disc and in convenient choral octavos. Drawn from his popular Who Calls You By Name series, this fine collection includes many selections for Triduum, complimented by titles appropriate for funerals and reconciliation. And of course, all of this music reflects David's remarkable sense of melody!

Listeners have delighted to instrumental versions of Marty's most popular works for years and have clamored for more! Here are wonderful arrangements in the Haugen tradition.

In recent years chant has enjoyed a resurgence of interest and popularity. More Sublime Chant is an extension of the highly successful Sublime Chant, delving further into the glorious sounds of our past and once again featuring the voices of The Cathedral Singers under the direction of Richard Proulx. This beautiful recording includes Gregorian, Ambrosian, Mozarabic, and Sarum chants, many being recorded for the very first time! Chants for Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter are included, as are two mass settings. More Sublime Chant also features the complete Office of Compline, sung in English. The chants are realized in proportional, modal, and equalist rhythms, employing organum, drones, tone clusters, and ornamentation. The use of recorders, handbells, and small percussion, combined with the enchanting voices of The Cathedral Singers and the warm acoustics of Chicago's Columbus Hospital Chapel, make this recording yet another "must-have" for any music lover!

Bobby's Christmas favorites artfully arranged for guitar and other instruments. You'll enjoy this one for seasons to come.

As one of the most respected liturgical composers of our time, Michael Joncas has earned his reputation by writing music for the Church that proclaims the Scriptures in song, fits the ritual moment, and speaks to the heart. This new collection will no doubt reaffirm his fine reputation and reestablish once again his valuable contribution to the art of pastoral music making. The rich, lyrical Joncas style is evident in the title song, "As the Deer," a beautiful setting of Psalm 42 usable as a responsorial or processional, scored for harp, winds, and strings. "Exultate Justi," "Cantate Domino," and "Wisdom Is Calling" are grand processionals, scored for brass and organ. There's also a lovely setting of the Francis Patrick Sullivan text "A Shepherd" for solo voice, and Joncas's ever-popular "Spirit of God within Me," with text by Timothy Dudley-Smith, is recorded with a full complement of instruments. Joncas's scholarly research and personal love of the Liturgy of the Hours has led him to compose a new setting of evening prayer entitled "St. Francis Evening Prayer." Composed in a classical style, this new and accessible setting should be explored by any community considering the Liturgy of the Hours.

The Best of the Dameans, Volume 2, includes "You Have Anointed Me," "Path of Life," "Joyfully Singing," "Table Prayer," and "Blessed Be the Lord." Volume 1 includes favorites like "Beginning Today," "Speak, Lord," "Remember Your Love," and "Look Beyond." These are the perfect recordings for both the long-time Dameans listeners and those enjoying this group for the first time!

A collection for worship by one of our time's most accomplished liturgical composers. Arranged simply, All Are Welcome is intended to be performed with either grand or limited resources.

Few recordings have struck a chord as deep and profound as this heart-rendering, yet ultimately uplifting, CD. The Last Journey offers mourners a way to grieve, to search through the struggle before them, and to face their difficult situation with a renewed sense of hope in the Resurrection. This recording makes a suitable and touching gift for mourners. The inspiring sound of The Cathedral Singers with soloist Pamela Warrick-Smith makes this a truly unique and touching gift. Includes "Lord Our God, Receive Your Servant," sung as the final commendation at the funeral of Joseph Cardinal Bernardin.

Jeanne Cotter steps into her own with this stunning solo piano recording. Jeanne mingles new original works with beautiful renditions of the best of Taize, Marty Haugen, Michael Joncas, and David Haas, as well as traditional favorites.

This profound collection fo Palm Sunday, Triduum, and Easter, deeply infused with the passion of the season, evolves from the worship in the parishes where Rory Cooney and Gary Daigle have served over the years. "Trumpet in the Morning," Rory Cooney's highly inspirational hymn for the millenium, is set to the haunting strains of an early-American melody. The text draws on jubilee imagery, especially from the book of Leviticus, but its point of view is distinctly modern. New hymns resound with the emotions of the season, including the solemn strains of Good Friday's "Precious Blood" and the truly uplifting title song, "This Very Morning." Also included is a new concertato arrangement of Suzanne Toolan's classic, "I Am the Bread of Life." Highlights of this collection include a stirring acclamation for baptism that has been expanded into a song for the sprinkling of the assembly. There is an upbeat "Litany of Saints" to accompany the baptismal procession to the font, appropriately based on "When the Saints Go Marchin' In" and incorporating the refrain from that enduring spiritual.

Cry Out with Joy was recorded at St. Bernard Church in Pittsburgh, home of a wonderful 97-rank Casavant organ, which Fr. Jim played. Brass, harp, woodwinds, and percussion completed the forces, resulting in a marvelous recording.

Aptly titled, this collection offers songs for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Las Posadas (the traditional Mexican remembrance of Mary's search for an inn), and Christmas. The recording was produced by Gary Daigle. Celebrate the season with this wonderful music!

The Best of the Dameans, Volume 1, includes favorites like "Beginning Today," "Speak, Lord," "Remember Your Love," and "Look Beyond." Volume 2 includes "You Have Anointed Me," "Path of Life," "Joyfully Singing," "Table Prayer," and "Blessed Be the Lord." These are the perfect recordings for both the long-time Dameans listeners and those enjoying this group for the first time!

Here, you'll find psalms and songs for the sacraments and rites of the Church which beautifully capture the spirit of the Christian journey. Two titles, "I Will Praise the Lord" and "Guiding Me," were composed for GIA's Hymnal for Catholic Students and are perfect for children as well as adults. "A Nuptial Blessing" is the answer for weddings, "Take and Eat" is perfect for communion, and "You Have Searched Me" is simply exquisite. The remaining titles make this an indispensable resource spanning a wide range of uses.

A sense of the inevitable weaves through the Gospel of Mark and it is evident too in The Song of Mark, but there is much more going on here than anticipation over coming events. This musical leads us to make the refreshing discovery again as well. This memory reclaimed is the gift of true hope that Jesus provides the downtrodden and forsaken—the strength of God that is made perfect in weakness. Through Jesus, the nameless are given a voice that is heard. True to Mark's telling, the anonymous women storytellers in the chorus of The Song of Mark bear out a great understanding of what true discipleship means, greater even than the Apostles. At the end of the piece, in "The Song at the Empty Tomb," these voice of the faithful rise with Jesus and resonate the Good News.

For those who admire Marty Haugen's special musical contributions—composers, listeners, and singers alike—this collection represents an important compilation of the many and varied musical journeys of one of our time's most beloved liturgical composers. This new two-volume offering, containing the best of Marty's earlier years, brings new life and meaning to many of your favorite songs.

This collection is characterized by a variety of styles in the Cooney tradition. "Live the Promise" was chosen as the theme song for the 1994 LA Religious Education Congress for its upbeat music and bold lyrics. A great version of Psalm 34 for weddings, "Every Morning in Your Eyes," and a "Winter Magnificat" with text by Sr. Miriam Therese Winter, MMS, round out this wonderful collection.

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

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!

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.
