After too many years of absence, John Foley, SJ, has returned to the liturgical music scene with his first GIA release, When Every Gate. The wait has been well worth it! Performed simply by cantor and assembly or with a full complement of musicians and singers, this excellent liturgical music in the Foley tradition will inspire your assembly and choir alike with haunting and memorable tunes, challenging yet satisfying choral parts, and inspiring texts. Collection highlights include creative settings of Psalms 104 and 16, music for a number of liturgical seasons, and two songs chosen for liturgies at the NPM National Convention in St. Louis (1993): How Lovely Is Your Dwelling and When In Our Music God Is Glorified. In addition to John, text writers include Fred Pratt Green, Michael Dennis Browne, and Jean Janzen.  CONTENTS: THE CARPENTER (G-3931) • PSALM 104: GOD, SEND OUT YOUR SPIRIT (G-3932) • HALLELUIA, BLESS THE LORD (G-3934) • PSALM 84: HOW LOVELY IS YOUR DWELLING (G-3935) • PSALM 16: KEEP ME SAFE, O GOD (G-3936) • LET JUSTICE ROLL DOWN (G-3937) • LITTLE HEART OF AGES (G-3938) • MOTHERING GOD, YOU GAVE ME BIRTH (G-3940) • OUR GOD HAS DONE GREAT THINGS FOR US (G-3941) • PRAISE TO YOU, LORD OF ETERNAL GLORY (G-3942) • WE KNOW YOU ARE THE LAMB (G-3943) • WHEN EVERY GATE (G-3944) • WHEN IN OUR MUSIC GOD IS GLORIFIED (G-3945)

This edition is perfect for accompanists who would also like to use these hymn arrangements as preludes, interludes, or postludes. Collections like Revival are not simply a way for contemporary ensembles to plant deeper roots and tap into more traditional repertoires. It is a way for all of us to hear old hymns with new ears, in a new way. --Fr. Anthony Ruff, OSB, Associate Professor of Theology at St. John's Abbey Quote from Pray Tell Blog. Click here to read full article Tony Alonso’s Revival offers us fourteen wonderfully arranged familiar hymns—musically accessible and a delight to sing. Flexibly crafted for voices, piano and guitar with lovely optional descants, this is an ecumenical gift and bridge-builder between classical and contemporary approaches to hymns in the liturgy.

His arrangements for voices, piano, and guitar—with options for using other instruments as well—allow for improvisation and adaptation while remaining accessible for a wide range of musicians. Although these hymns are designed to be used by contemporary ensembles, they lend themselves to use in a variety of worshiping contexts. Alonso's arrangements will entice you to sing along--Revival is a great gift to the whole church! --Kimberly Bracken Long, Editor of Call to Worship: Liturgy, Music, Preaching, & the Arts Tony Alonso’s, Revival, is an invaluable resource to help find common ground among “contemporary” and “traditional” choirs and ensembles by making hymnody approachable to those who may have shied away from it for stylistic reasons. It is also a great educational tool for organists and pianists who are seeking ways to improve their improvisatory keyboard skills by modeling accompaniment styles and improvisatory patterns that support and enhance the singing of traditional hymns. ​--​Dominic Trumfio, Associate Director of Worship Music at Old St. Patrick's Church, Chicago.
