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.â€
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.
