Intended especially for the growing number of multicultural, bilingual (Latino/Anglo) parishes and communities in the United States, Oramos Cantando / We Pray in Song is a hymnal and service book that is comprehensive enough to satisfy the liturgical needs of such communities, when they are worshipping in Spanish, in English, or bilingually. Bilingual from the first page to the last. Organized to reflect the liturgical life of the Church: morning, evening and night prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours, the sacramental rites of Christian initiation of adults, baptism of children, holy communion outside Mass, eucharistic exposition and benediction, reconciliation of penitents, anointing of the sick, marriage, and funerals, the Order of Mass, service music, hymns and songs, lectionary responsorial psalms. All ritual texts are from the English- and Spanish-language liturgical books approved for use in the dioceses of the United States of America Seventy settings of psalms and biblical canticles in a variety of styles, for use in the Liturgy of the Hours, at Mass, and in other liturgical rites. Many employ Gelineau, Guimont, or Conception Abbey tones. Standards from the “Celebration-style” repertoire by Haugen, Joncas, Haas, and others. All with Spanish and English texts ICEL chants for the Order of Mass, accompanied by the complementary plainsong chants in Spanish. Five bilingual settings of the ordinary of the Mass, along with one Latin and two English-only Mass settings, plus a number of additional service music items to serve the liturgical needs of Anglo/Latino parishes for many years to come A broad and stylistically diverse collection of nearly 550 hymns, psalms, and inspired songs, containing the best and most beloved traditional and contemporary music of Latino and Anglo communities, with more than 300 items newly translated according to guidelines for preserving meaning, rhyme, and meter Music from around the world, encompassing plainsong chants, classical hymnody, contemporary scripture-based songs, Taizé chants, and world music from Asia and Africa. Settings originally with Spanish texts are from the United States, Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean Lectionary psalms with USCCB-approved refrains in both English and Spanish and verses from The Revised Grail Psalms and the salterio of Spain’s Conferencia Episcopal Española (CEE). These bilingual lectionary psalms have been included in the Sacred Song missalette program of The Liturgical Press since 2005 Eleven indexes: liturgical, topical, psalms and canticles, service music, scripture references in hymns, hymn tunes, tune meters, musical settings using languages other than Spanish and English, psalm refrains set to music, common titles and first lines, and hymnal contributors (composers, authors, translators, sources) A hymnal which not only addresses the liturgical experience of today, but also opens the door to new possibilities in the future. Fulfilling the statement of the American bishops: Liturgical music today must reflect the multicultural diversity and intercultural relationships of the members of the gathered liturgical assembly. The varied use of musical forms such as ostinato refrains, call and response, song translations, and bilingual or multilingual repertoire can assist in weaving the diverse languages and ethnicities of the liturgical assembly into a tapestry of sung praise.

Cantos de ICEL para el Ordinario de la Misa, acompañados por los cantos llanos complementarios en español. Cinco arreglos bilingües para el ordinario de la Misa, junto con uno en latín y dos arreglos para la Misa sólo en inglés, además de un número de cantos adicionales para responder a las necesidades litúrgicas de las parroquias anglas/latinas por muchos años en el futuro Una colección amplia y de diversos estilos de casi 550 himnos, salmos y cantos inspirados, que contienen lo mejor y lo más apreciado de la música tradicional y contemporánea de las comunidades latinas y anglas, con más de 300 composiciones recientemente traducidas según las normas para la preservación del significado, del ritmo, y del metro Música de todo el mundo, incluyendo cantos llanos, himnos clásicos, cantos contemporáneos basados en la biblia, cantos de Taizé, y música mundial de Asia y África.

Salmos del Leccionario con estribillos aprobados por la Conferencia Episcopal de Estados Unidos (USCCB) tanto en inglés como en español y versos del salterio: The Revised Grail Psalms y del salterio de la Conferencia Episcopal Española (CEE) de España. Estos salmos bilingües del leccionario se han incluido en el programa del misalito Sacred Song de la editorial: The Liturgical Press desde 2005 Once índices: litúrgico, temático, salmos y cánticos, música para celebraciones, referencias bíblicas en himnos, tonadas de himnos, metros de himnos, arreglos con idiomas además de español e inglés, antífonas musicalizadas para los salmos, títulos comunes y primeras frases, y contribuyentes al himnario (compositores, autores, traductores, fuentes) Un himnario que no sólo responde a la experiencia litúrgica de hoy, sino también abre la puerta a nuevas posibilidades en el futuro. Cumple la declaración de los obispos americanos: “La música litúrgica de hoy debe reflejar la diversidad multicultural y las relaciones interculturales de los miembros de la asamblea litúrgica reunida. El uso variado de formas musicales como estribillos en ostinato, llamado y respuesta, traducción de cantos, y el repertorio bilingüe o multilingüe puede ayudar a entretejer los diferentes idiomas y etnias de la asamblea litúrgica en un tapiz de alabanza cantada.” Cantemos al Señor, 60 There is no doubt that the goal of singing each other's liturgical music as an expression of the catholicity of our faith embodied in this volume, does in fact allow bilingual and multicultural parishes through the United States—and beyond—to respond to the liturgical needs of today while opening the door to new possibilities. — Becca Whitla The Hymn Society Journal. Volume 66, No. 4.

This familiar scripture, taken from Proverbs, is an easy segue into the concept behind Psalms & Psongs, from Christy and Daniel Semsen. One of the most powerful things we can do for our kids is to be sure they are grounded in a strong scriptural foundation. Teaching our kids God’s Word – in this case, the Psalms – is so important to how we apply that wise, scriptural directive to “train up a child.”

Make it FUN—one of the most important ways to get kids excited about learning scripture is to make it fun…and make it easy! A great way to do that is by creating new, modern songs inspired by the Book of Psalms that kids will be eager to sing! Christy and Daniel Semsen have created a wildly-fun, musically-engaging project that brings the Psalms to life in a fresh, new way for young worshippers. Perfect for Kids Choir, Children’s Church and Children’s Worship services, you can also use it as a tremendous teaching tool to help your kids connect with the scriptures and learn some of the wonderful words and Biblical concepts found in the Psalms. With the downloadable Bible lessons and activity book this will become one of the most valuable kids ministry tools to come your way in a long time.
