The Mass of St. Patrick, was commissioned for the celebration of the 800th anniversary of the founding of Ballintubber Abbey, famously known as the abbey that “refused to die.” As with so many of Liam Lawton’s compositions, his gift for melody grows out of the rich, lyric music tradition of his native Ireland.  Unmistakably Celtic in style, the the mass features simple harmonic textures which are enhanced by a C Instrument part woven throughout. The mass is set primarily in D major, making it accessible for Irish traditional instruments. The Mass of St. Patrick is a pleasing setting that your congregation will enjoy singing.

By Heart is an ambitious project that aspires to join in perfect union the liturgical rites of gathering, intercession, and communion with music of the season in such a way that participation in these rites becomes written upon the lips and hearts of those who worship. This recording includes simple, beautiful arrangements of some of the most beloved songs of the principal liturgical seasons. Familiar seasonal tunes like “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and John Bell’s “Take, O Take Me As I Am” are wedded to contemporary texts, making retention effortless. Alonso and Huck deftly demonstrate how “music and ritual can be so woven together that they become a single reality.” Unique to this project are the bulletin inserts and CD-ROM. The bulletin inserts are a perfect way to enhance the worship experience of your congregation. The full score of this collection offers detailed information about the background of this project and how to use it to its full potential. Contains one each of the following octavos: Come Emmanuel - Come Quickly, Lord - God Shall Gather In - Got Tell It on the Mountain - Child of Mary - Come to Bethlehem Manger - Gather Us in Mercy, Lord - Enfold us in your Mercy - Take, O Take Me As I Am - Halle, Halle, Halle - Hear Us, Savior - Joyous Cup.

Sing the Stories of God's New People is the third volume of songs for the very youngest singers, ages four to seven, offering twenty-five songs based on stories and writings in Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation. As with the two preceding volumes, this third volume can be used with young choral singers as well as a part of a church school curriculum. The tunes are short and memorable; the lyrics are written in simple language and focus on a key idea in each story. When the story-songs are coordinated with the Revised Common Lectionary, the songs provide an opportunity for young children to provide music for congregational worship that is relevant and meaningful.Included in the collection are piano accompaniments, a CD recording with both a full chorus and accompaniment versions, as well as creative suggestions for teaching the songs.
