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.","brand":"GIA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44722763530474,"sku":"785147042129","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3348106.jpg?v=1778306650"},{"product_id":"no-greater-love","title":"No Greater Love","description":"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.

Here you'll find festive settings of great hymns scored for congregations, choir, brass, and organ, incorporating Joncas's original texts. Simple settings of the three gospel canticles found in Luke utilize a \"psalm tune,\" while another setting of the Maginificat is ideal for festive occasions. Responding to frequent requests, Joncas has revised the Gloria from his Psallite Mass, casting it in a \"festive\" setting using a refrain format augmented by brass as well as in a \"ferial\" setting for everyday Sunday use with two woodwinds and guitar. Not to be missed is the title track \"Deep and Lasting Peace,\" which is sure to enter mainstream congregational Communion repertoire.","brand":"GIA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46017382678762,"sku":"785147004721","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3828533_babe0517-3597-4adc-9463-1d7ccf8c6ddd.jpg?v=1778283179"},{"product_id":"in-the-sight-of-the-angels","title":"In the Sight of the Angels","description":"At long last, GIA proudly releases Michael Joncas’s first collection in over 8 years. Containing themes of divine providence, rescue, and sustenance, this recording comes from the heart of Joncas’s own suffering due to a bout with Guillain-Barre syndrome. After his recovery, Joncas experienced a new surge of musical creativity that gave birth to In the Sight of the Angels. The lush sounds of choral singing and the elaborate instrumentation of brass, harp, flute, organ, and other instruments makes In the Sight of the Angels a beautiful recording replete with psalm settings, including “Drink in the Richness of God,” “In the Sight of the Angels,” and “Till the End of My Days.” Also present are settings of the three New Testament Lukan infancy canticles—the “Canticle of Zechariah,” the “Canticle of Mary,” and the “Canticle of Simeon.” But, perhaps most appropriate in light of Joncas’s recent experiences are the songs delineating the work of the Holy Spirit, God’s breath (ruach): “All Who Are Led by the Spirit,” “Lord, Send Out Your Spirit,” and “Veni, Sancte Spiritus.” This tranquil recording has a pastoral feel. It is tender and depicts a merciful God who gives us hope in light of suffering. Joncas’s newfound wisdom resonates through this music. It is his sincere wish that those who sing it, play it, and\/or hear it will grow closer to God.","brand":"GIA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46017389854954,"sku":"785147073024","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/1287361.jpg?v=1778328839"},{"product_id":"winter-name-of-god","title":"Winter Name of God","description":"Music for Advent.","brand":"GIA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46025483911402,"sku":"785147019220","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3348102.jpg?v=1778286535"},{"product_id":"god-of-life-and-of-the-living","title":"God of Life and of the Living","description":"Music for Lent, Easter, and Pentecost.","brand":"GIA","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46026342203626,"sku":"785147019329","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3348085.jpg?v=1778292426"},{"product_id":"joncas-we-come-to-your-feast","title":"Joncas: We Come to Your Feast","description":"In this collection you'll find a marvelous setting of the twenty-third Psalm for choir and assembly; a fine choral anthem, \"Come Let Us Sing;\" a retrospective carol, \"Within Our Hearts Be Born;\" and the title song—it sings itself!
