C.P.E. Bach’s Flute Concerto in d, Wq 22 dates from his years in Berlin during the reign of Frederic the Great. + Bach’s music was the immediate starting point for Hans Werner Henze’s conception of musical and aesthetic history as well as for his work as a composer, so for example in his interpretative transcription of one of Bach’s Fantasias. + Mozart is here represented by his Concerto for Flute and Harp, KV 299. + “The young Argentinean flautist Maria Cecilia Muñoz has astounding technique… beauty and refinement of sound…supple opulence and luminous tone.” (Wiener Zeitung, Austria)

Gathered for God is the collaboration of eleven talented composers joining forces to create music that celebrates God's love for us.

The poignant text of John Bell's “Dolorosa” will bring comfort in times of sorrow. Liam Lawton's “Eternal Is Your Love” has a beautiful melody embracing an expressive refrain that simply begs to be sung. “Praise the God of All Beginnings,” by Michael Joncas, employs a festive text by Herman G. Stuempfle Jr. And that's not all. The collection also includes new music from other great composers like Chris de Silva, Tony Alonso, Rory Cooney, Gary Daigle, Francis Patrick O'Brien, Donna Peña, and Michael Mahler. This collection is a must-have!
