Richard Reed Parry 'S Heart And Breath Sextet For Piano Six-Hands, Violin, Viola And Violoncello. Heart And Breath Sextet Was Commissioned By The 2011 Musicnow Festival For Ymusic. ' This Piece Is Based Around The Idea Of Using The Widely Varying Internal Rhythms Of The Performers' Bodies As Performance Parameters. There Is No Actual Tempo Or Meter Built Into The Piece. The Breathing Rates Of The Players Are Used In Alternation With The Individualperformers' Heart Rates To Determine The Pace At Which All Of The Musical Material Is Played. This Requires That The Performers Generally Play Quietly And Delicately, So As To Be Able To Hear Their Heartbeats Adequately.This, In Combination With The Natural Variance Between The Different Heart Rates, Results In A Kind Of Delicate Musical Pointillism: Starts And Stops Which Are Somewhat Staggered, Parts Which Repeatedly Line Up And Fall Out Of Synch With Each Other, Different Individuals' Pulses Rising And Falling. The Piece Is Never Performed Exactly The Same Way Twice. In This Piece, The Pianists Wear Stethoscopes Positioned Over Their Hearts So That Each Can Follow His Or Her Own Heart Rate. Two Eighth Notes (Quavers) Correspond To The Two Sounds Of A Single Normal Heartbeat, And Performers Should Match As Closely As Possible The Staccato And Irregular Rhythm They Hear. The Strings Are Instructed To 'Play To Breath'; The Natural Cycle Of One Inhalation And One Exhalation, Or Vice Versa, Will Determine The Length Of The Bar (Two Quarter Notes/Crotchets) Without Any Attempt To Make It Metronomic. When One Instrument Is Designated The Leader, Their Breath Will Determine The Starts Of Phrases And The Procession From One Bar To The Next, Cuing Other Parts If Necessary. ' - Richard Reed Parry.

From the music of the Buena Vista Social Club to Gloria Estefan, the lyrical melodies and infectious rhythms of Cuban music have become embedded in U.S. culture. With Caminemos con Jesús / Let Us Walk with Jesus, composer Tony Alonso presents a groundbreaking collection of liturgical music that calls on his own Cuban musical heritage to provide new ways of singing the liturgy in Spanish, English or bilingually. The first project of its kind, Caminemos con Jesús not only utilizes rich Cuban idioms but also explores what style and musical form can teach us about praying together across cultural and linguistic boundaries. The dynamic call-and-response form that is a hallmark of traditional Cuban music makes these songs especially compelling choices for bilingual worship, allowing assemblies to learn, internalize, and pray easily in both Spanish and English. “Qué AlegrÃa Cuando Me Dijeron / I Rejoiced When I Heard Them Say†uses the words of the psalm as a rhythmic mantra, creating a fresh and engaging way to gather as the Body of Christ. “LetanÃa a la Madre de las Américas / Litany of Mary of The Americas,†invokes the Mary of many names and nations with a simple yet strong response that will enliven Marian feasts throughout the year. The gentle simplicity of “Tres Guajiros / Three Peasants†re-imagines the story of the Magi as humble peasants bringing gifts of the land to honor the newborn Jesus. Also, in this collection and for the first time in published form, is Gloria Estefan’s “Caridad,†a powerful and poetic prayer to Our Lady of Charity, the patroness of Cuba. All of the pieces of this collection focus on the importance of bringing the voices of the assembly to the forefront while the arrangements are skillfully crafted to be accessible to musicians of all abilities. In addition to the spiral-bound edition, individual octavos, and flute and brass parts, Caminemos con Jesús offers a special edition featuring parts for guitar, percussion and other instruments central to Cuban music. The studio recording is a stunning source of prayer and inspiration, produced in Miami by Grammy Award winner Juan Delgado and featuring some of the finest Cuban-American musicians today. GIA Publications, Inc. is committed to responding to the rich diversity of the contemporary Church. With Caminemos con Jesús, we offer you our very best bilingual music for the liturgical year. “The music of my father’s Cuban homeland has been the language of my heart for as long as I can remember. These songs infuse that rich tradition with the unique sabor of my own experience as a Cuban-American in a distinctly liturgical shape that I hope will inspire others in their daily camino con Jesús.†–Tony Alonso Featuring “Live Mercy, Be Holy / Vive la Misericordia, Vive la Santidad,†the 2020 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress theme song! Desde la música de Buena Vista Social Club hasta la de Gloria Estefan, las melodÃas lÃricas y ritmos contagiosos de la música cubana son incrustados en la cultura estadounidense. Con Caminemos con Jesús / Let Us Walk with Jesus, el compositor Tony Alonso presenta una colección innovadora de música litúrgica que incorpora su herencia musical cubana para producir una manera nueva de cantar la liturgia — en español, inglés o bilingüemente. El primer proyecto de este tipo, Caminemos con Jesús no sólo utiliza modismos ricos de Cuba sino también explora lo que el estilo y la forma musical nos pueden enseñar con respeto a rezar juntos a través de los lÃmites culturales y lingüÃsticos. La forma dinámica de llamada-y-respuesta que es un sello distintivo de la música cubana tradicional crea opciones cautivadoras para los rituales bilingües donde la asamblea puede aprender, interiorizar y rezar facilmente tanto en español como en inglés. “Qué AlegrÃa Cuando Me Dijeron†incorpora la letra del salmo como una mantra rÃtmica, creando una manera original para congregar al Cuerpo de Cristo. La “LetanÃa a la Madre de las Américas,†la cual invoca a la MarÃa de muchos nombres y naciones utilizando una respuesta sencilla y fuerte, enriquecerá a las fiestas marianas de muchos pueblos durante todo el año. La sencillez suave de “Tres Guajiros†reimagina la historia de los Reyes Magos como guajiros humildes, trayendo regalos de la tierra para honrar al recién nacido Jesús. También se encuentra en esta colección, por la primera vez en forma publicada, el tema musical “Caridad†por Gloria Estefan, que es una oración poderosa y poética a Nuestra Madre de Caridad, la patrona de Cuba. Todas las piezas en esta colección se enfocan en la importancia de las voces de la asamblea mientras los arreglos son accesibles para los músicos de todas habilidades. Además de la edición con espiral, las partituras corales individuales, y las ediciones para flauta y instrumentos de metal, Caminemos con Jesús también ofrece una edición para guitarra con partituras adicionales para percusión y otros instrumentos centrales en la música cubana. La grabación del estudio es espectacular, una fuente de oración y inspiración. Producido en Miami por el ganador de Grammy Juan Delgado, el álbum destaca los talentos de unos de los mejores músicos cubano-americanos de hoy dÃa. GIA Publications, Inc. está comprometido a responder a la diversidad rica de la Iglesia actual. En Caminemos con Jesús, les ofrecemos nuestra mejor música bilingüe para todo el año litúrgico. “La música de la tierra cubana de mi padre ha sido el lenguaje de mi corazón desde que yo tengo memoria. Estas canciones infunden esa rica tradición del sabor único de mi propia experiencia como cubanoamericano con una forma claramente litúrgica. Es mi deseo que esta obra inspire a los demás en su propio camino diario con Jesúsâ€. –Tony Alonso Incluye el canto tema, “Vive la Misericordia, Vive la Santidad / Live Mercy, Be Holy,†compuesto para el Congreso de Educación Religiosa de Los Angeles del 2020.
