Inspired by PIETA, Michelangelo's famous statue of Mary holding the life-less body of Jesus in her arms, this latest collaboration of Rev. Privette and Lani Smith team presents a special opportunity for worshippers to grasp the tragic depth and texture of the events of Holy Week. Once we have recalled the tragedy of Holy Week, we come to appreciate more completely the joyful message of Easter Sunday, that through the resurrection of Jesus, God is truly victorious over evil and death, and that even the sorrow and pain of a mother, who loses her first-born son, leads to joy and exultation in his new life with God. Imaginative new settings of familiar hymns and original music enhance the narrative of the final week of Jesus' life. This cantata is designated to add a new dimension of meaning and understanding to any Palm Sunday, Maudy Thursday, or Good Friday service.

Blest Are Those Who Love You is the ultimate resource for pastors, cantors, organists, brides-to-be, and anyone who is looking for the best in wedding music. Every inclusion conforms to the Roman Catholic Church’s new Order of Celebrating Matrimony (2016). Inside you’ll find the appointed wedding psalms (using the official Revised Grail translation) in three distinct settings—Guimont, Gelineau, and The Lyric Psalter, a dozen appropriate gospel acclamations with the official verses, and a wide array of beloved psalm settings for use in the Liturgy of the Word or throughout the wedding rite. All of the songs in this edition may be sung as a solo, but each selection also has an optional part for congregation. Additionally, many of these songs originally appeared as choral octavos, the settings included here are fully compatible with those original editions.

“We can do no great things, only small things with great love.” —Blessed Teresa of Calcutta With Great Love is a moving collection of songs that speak of God's love at work in us. These songs are fashioned for use throughout the liturgical year, enriching everything from the most intimate of prayer services to the most majestic of Christmas liturgies. The title track, “With Great Love,” is a beautiful message based on the writings of Blessed Teresa. It is a gentle call to action that is easily learned, enabling quick and active participation. Many of the tracks combine Latin with English lyrics. Moved by the simplicity and pure beauty of plainchant, de Silva weaves both languages seamlessly in a fusion of ageless text and contemporary melody, effectively preserving our traditions while presenting them in a modern, singable setting. Another notable inclusion, “God Will Lead Us Home,” contains a beautiful choral interlude on in paradisum that suspends the passing of time. There is a place in your library, your liturgies, and your hearts for every song in this collection.
