As early as the sixth month of pregnancy, unborn babies are able to hear sounds. Language, singing and music can now have a formative impact on them. How can I positively influence the development of my baby during pregnancy by music? Which songs can I sing to my child during this time? How can music help me prepare for the birth of my baby? Which music is my baby going to like in the first months of his or her life? The author gives expectant mothers answers to this and many other questions, showing them how to manage their first contact with the child through music. This book contains songs (on CD), classical music, relaxation exercises, and scientific background information. Dr. Carla Hafner is a physician and mother of three children. Music has been a constant in her life since her childhood. She is the author of various songbooks and picture-books for the little ones.

â� �œFor a long time, there has been a perception that Catholics can’t or won’t sing in church. But this is not accurate: Catholics can and do sing… We all are called by Christ to love one another. If singing is a way to do that, why hold back?” --Diana Kodner Gökçe “Singing with one another,” the author reminds us, “is both prayer and an act of love. It heightens our worship, and helps us remember words of praise, thanks, petition, and most importantly, the Word of God. A great voice is not required. Singing is beneficial, and a precious gift from God.”Music is sung prayer, when we sing, we give voice to a mystery that cannot be expressed in mere words…and yet, many are hesitant to raise their voices in song when we gather together to worship.   Filled with wisdom for new Catholics as well as those who have been attending liturgy all their lives, this book gives the person in the pews prayerful insight and solid foundation in the basics of the music we sing every week at Mass. Why Do We Sing? examines why but also when and how we sing in church: What is the significance of the different things we sing? What difference does it make if I sing, especially since I am not a very good singer? How do I get over my self-consciousness with singing? A book for everyone in the parish, this book seeks to help every liturgical gathering find its musical voice and more fully embrace its ability to participate fully, actively, and consciously in the liturgy.  Diana Kodner Gökçe is the author of Handbook for Cantors, 3rd edition (GIA Publications, Inc.). She has taught liturgical music at Loyola University and worked as a music minister in numerous Chicagoland parishes including Holy Name Cathedral. She is currently Liturgical Music Coordinator at The Frances Xavier Warde School.  To receive the quantity discount (25 or more copies—$4.00 each) call our customer service department at 1-800-GIA-1358.  .

Now available for SSAA.This thrilling new arrangement by twin brothers Matt and Adam Podd became an internet sensation shortly after we were all quarantined due to Covid-19. Drawing on friendships in the New York City Broadway, church, and opera worlds, more than 120 world class singers and players came together to create the virtual choir and orchestra. In the final chorus, the arrangers very cleverly turn the iconic phrase “How can I keep from singing?” into “Keep Singing.” A message we all need to hear and remember during times of isolation and at all times.
