This gleefully entertaining collection of dinosaur songs was written for some of Marty’s biggest fans—his grandchildren! Each track highlights the distinct characteristics of a different species of dinosaur. The wide variety of fun musical styles, kooky character voices, amusing rhyming words, and enchanting children’s choir all work together to paint vivid and imaginative pictures of each dinosaur, bringing them to life—despite the fact that they’ve been extinct for millions of years. From the fearsome king of the dinosaurs (Tyrannosaurus rex) to the thundering Triceratops, this recording will engage and delight children of all ages from beginning to end and will perhaps inspire them to investigate these fascinating creatures further.

Courage Can Cry is an album about victory over adversity. It glories in the triumph of the human spirit as the ghosts of fear are laid to rest. These are songs that will prompt you to rediscover the courage that lies beneath the surface of your soul. You will be inspired by the lives of many who dared to give a voice to those who have none. An ancient French writer, Blaise Paschal, who wrote, “We should always keep something beautiful in our hearts,” was the inspiration for many of the texts. These songs are meant to awaken hope and a new awareness of all that lies beneath and within, and they will help you realize that courage can cry louder than any fear or fault.

From John L. Bell and the Wild Goose Resource Group comes a new collection of 21 shorter songs for public worship. The music in The Truth that Sets Us Free magnifies God and the experience of God’s people and effectively offsets the personal focus that most popular praise songs emphasize. This diverse mix of world music has biblical roots and references—some express exultant praise—others yearning, or anger. Many of the songs are suitable for most Sundays while others are better suited to a particular season or liturgical act. It is the hope of the Iona Community that this collection will add to the pool of similar material, which takes both God and the world seriously, since it was for the world and not just humanity that Christ came.

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.

The mass setting, Mass of Christ, Our Hope, and additional songs, hymns, and ritual songs center around themes of unity, acceptance, love of God, and love of neighbor. In addition to David’s compositions, this recording and printed collection include an original setting of Psalm 27, “I Believe I Shall See,” by Ellen Larson, a member of Cretin-Derham Hall’s graduating class of 2014.

Pilgrim Wisdom on the Way by Tony Alonso / Chris de Silva / Liam Lawton 2014 This collection of music was inspired by the journeys of pilgrims throughout history who left their places of safety to seek God's presence more deeply along the way. -Tony Alonso, Chris de Silva, and Liam Lawton Following up on their moving collaboration on Castle of the Soul, Tony Alonso, Chris de Silva, and Liam Lawton have once again joined their unique gifts to create Pilgrim: Wisdom on the Way. This stirring collection of songs is filled with images of faithful pilgrims that will resonate deep within the soul. Inspired by the Camino de Santiago, "Along This Holy Way" is a fervent prayer for God's gentle blessing on the way. "I Will Lift My Eyes" is an impassioned declaration inspired by the psalms and the writings of Thomas Merton that conveys an unwavering certainty that God walks the path beside us. The title track is an expressive song of reassurance in the One who guides our steps in ways of peace. Whether you are a road-weary traveler on this journey or you are contemplating that first step, the contents of Pilgrim will be a sure companion on the journey, offering you encouragement, hope, and strength along the way.

Sally Ann Morris and Adam Tice began working together in 2008, when Sally was asked to compose a few tunes for Adam’s first collection, Woven into Harmony. This initial collaboration was the beginning of what has become a dynamic partnership. In this symbiotic pairing new inspiration emerged, generating contemporary but timeless music where text and tune seamlessly unite. The a cappella choral writing on “Will You Hold Me in the Light,” and “This Is My Body” is so lush and intricate that accompaniment is not necessary, while the poetry of “God Give Me Faith like a Child,” and “Breath of God, Breath of Peace” illustrate the innocence and fearlessness essential in our love and trust of God. Stylistically ranging from a cappella choral to Latin jazz, each piece offers a musical and textual sophistication that powerfully conveys themes of journey and longing for God’s guidance.

After the success of 49 Hidden Treasures and 46 More Hidden Treasures, we've switched our focus and have recorded 42 of the most beloved hymns of the church. With this recording, GIA hopes to preserve the tried-and-true treasures of the African American religious experience. Favorites like “Guide My Feet,” “How Great Thou Art,” “It Is Well with My Soul,” and “Softly and Tenderly Jesus Is Calling” are just a few of the songs at the heart of this recording. These hymns play a deeply formative role in the shared faith and theology of the assembly. It is our hope that 42 Treasured Favorites will inspire, edify, and uplift the lives and souls of every listener.
