Text by Graziano Marcheschi.

In these two versions of the Stations of the Cross you will find contemporary prayers and texts, elegant full-color art work and striking music that speaks well to today’s world. Version I is a shorter text requiring one book for the leader and each participant. Musical accompaniments for Version I are found in edition G-3743FS. Version II contains a marvelous dramatic text allowing for a more involved prayer experience and includes roles for the leader, people, and four spoken “voice” parts. When performing Version II, people use edition G-3743 while the leader, organist, and “voices” use the full score edition (G-3743FS). Version II is ideal for Good Friday. .

America is aging. Some of our most faithful and dedicated members are not with us every Sunday. They may have moved to a retirement community or may be confined at home, and yet they are still vital members of our parish communities. With Hearts and Voices helps to bridge this gap in our Sunday assemblies with the songs and prayers our senior parishioners hold dear. This prayer book is a welcome resource for retirement and nursing homes, hospitals, and especially ministers of care. Jerry Galipeau has compiled and composed prayers of the heart, home, and church to enable our ministers of the sick to do more than distribute the Holy Eucharist. They can bring our worship to the homebound and provide a resource one can return to again and again. The more than 80 classic Catholic hymns and songs are those your people have taken into their hearts and made their own. Each is supported by a supplemental recording, recorded in age-appropriate keys and enhanced by a four-part choir. Features: ‚ Convenient 7in. x 10in. size with clean white pages ‚ Over 80 classic Catholic hymns and songs ‚ Large 14-point type without musical scoring, easier to read and participate ‚ Large collection of personal and devotional prayers ‚ Prayers for before and after the reception of communion ‚ Communal prayers like the Way of the Cross and the Rosary.

ISBN 9790006568888. 27 x 19 cm inches. Text Language: Latin. Text: Silvestri, Charles Anthony.

“Stillae ” was composed for the “Jugendkonzertchor der Chorakademie Dortmund” who won first prize in the “Mårten Jansson Choral Competition” in 2018. The American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri wrote the lyrics.

The poem is divided in four short clear Latin verses resembling the form of medieval poetry. The first three verses offer short glimpses of Mary’s life with Jesus described through different kinds of drops – Stillae:
Drops of water – when she bathes her tiny son
Drops of tears – when she cries while pondering his fate, and finally
Drops of blood – that fall on her face from the cross

The music and lyrics paint this transition from happiness to worry and deepest grief, concluding in a final verse; a still prayer to Mary to take our drops, our prayers, and offer them to Jesus.
