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)
