Commissioned by the Maryknoll Community to celebrate its centenary of papal approval in 2011, Missa ad Gentes was composed with a particular vision – to create a Mass setting with the 2010 revised English texts representing both Maryknoll’s United States heritage as well as the diverse cultures in which Maryknoll missioners serve in Central and South America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania.   With each piece of the Mass, Fr. Joncas honors the musical heritage of a different culture, creating a truly unique setting celebrating the Church’s diversity.  The title, meaning “Mass ‘to the peoples’” draws on the text of the Second Vatican Council’s document on missionary activities. “It is my hope that the Missa ad Gentes will assist English-speaking Roman Rite Catholics to worship with new liturgical texts, faithful to their heritage but enriched by the great diversity of languages and cultures that make up the Church Catholic.” -Michael Joncas Keyboard accompaniment and guitar chords are printed in the edition.

Composer Jacob de Haan has based The Heart of Lithuania on five folk melodies from Lithuania, a country that despite its small size has a rich cultural heritage. The choice and diversity of emotions, largely determined by the characteristic melodies, take the listener straight to the heart of the Lithuanian people.

Litouwen, de grootste van de drie Baltische staten, is gezegend met een rijk cultureel erfgoed. Componist Jacob de Haan heeft The Heart of Lithuania gebaseerd op vijf volksmelodieen die met name geliefd waren in de tweede helftvan de twintigste eeuw. Hoewel alle vijf de liederen afkomstig zijn uit de Auk1taitija-regio, zijn ze populair in heel Litouwen, ze worden nog altijd gezongen door jonge mensen in de steden en dorpen. Dit schitterende werk voertde luisteraar rechtstreeks naar de ziel van het Litouwse volk.

In The Heart of Lithuania verwendete Jacob de Haan Volkslieder aus Litauen, das trotz seiner relativ geringen Grosse doch uber ein vielfaltiges kulturelles Erbe verfugt. Eine sehr reichhaltige Quelle der Inspiration fur Jacob de Haan, der sich funf traditionelle Lieder, die voller Freude, Hoffnung oder auch Melancholie von der Liebe erzahlen, als Basis fur seine Komposition wahlte. Diese Musik wird den Zuhorer direkt ins Herz des litauischen Volkes fuhren!

La Lituanie est dotee d'un riche patrimoine culturel. Petit territoire situe sur la rive orientale de la mer Baltique, la Lituanie est divisee en cinq regions ethnographiques : la Samogitie, la Haute Lituanie, la Sudovie, la Dzūkija et la Petite Lituanie. Chaque region a son dialecte, son costume traditionnel, ses coutumes, son artisanat, ses fetes et jours feries et surtout ses propres chants traditionnels chantes depuis pres d'un millenaire. Pour composer The Heart of Lithuania (Au cœur de la Lituanie), Jacob de Haan s'est inspire de cinq melodies traditionnelles particulierement en vogue dans la seconde moitie du XXe siecle. Bien que ces chantsproviennent de Haute Lituanie, ils sont apprecies sur l'ensemble du territoire et sont encore chantes aujourd'hui. Le choix des chants et la diversite des emotions qu'ils expriment a travers des lignes melodiques typees emportent l'auditeur au cœur de l'ame lituanienne.
