Eleazar Cortés

This guitar accompaniment features chords and vocal parts for the music album Somos la Iglesia by Eleazar Cortés.

This 16-song CD by Eleazar Cortés features Mexican-influenced Latin music for Spanish-speaking people in the liturgy. The collection includes eight responsorial psalm settings and music for Quinceañeras, seasonal and funeral psalms as well as wedding songs; songs for gathering, communion, Easter Vigil and other celebrations in parish life.

Encourage full assembly participation
Based on beloved prayers and sacred scripture, this 12-song collection features singable melodies and familiar styles to encourage full participation in the liturgy. Offering songs that emphasize the Word of God, Pueblo de Dios continues the journey begun with Somos la Iglesia. Inspired by the people of the church, the songs on this CD are ideal for celebrating God's love.

Energize worship with a diverse range of music
Representing the diversity of the Hispanic church, Pueblo de Dios features Mariachi styles—from Bolero Ranchero and Son Jaliscience to Huapango and Danzón—as well as contemporary styles, including pop, rock and ballads. The collection spotlights an impressive lineup of soloists and musicians and the choir from the Catedral de Los Ángeles, under the direction of Anna Betancourt.

Enjoy scripture set to vibrant melody
Recorded in a contemporary style, "Con Solo una Palabra" is based on Matthew 8:5-13 and highlights the Centurion who received the gift of faith and asked Jesus to heal his servant. Speaking of the peace and tenderness we encounter in God's kingdom, the verses encourage the faithful to approach the table of the Lord to receive healing and peace. "Sálvame, Señor" is based on the dramatic and powerful text from Matthew 14:23-33, which tells of Jesus walking on water. Adding vibrancy to the Scripture and melody, the text uses Son Jalisciense style. Together, this diverse collection is truly for all People of God!

Tracks: Aquí Estoy, Señor (Salmo 39) | Ave María | Con Solo una Palabra | Gloria al Padre | La Elegida | La Palabra Se Hizo Carne | Madre Sencilla y Humilde | Mi Alma Está Sedienta (Salmo 62) | Nada Me Falta (Salmo 22) | Pueblo de Dios | Sálvame, Señor | Señor, Tú Tienes Palabras (Salmo 18)

Celebrate rich cultural tapestry through music
Their songs live in our hearts and on our lips... from "Gather Your People" and "Rain Down" to "Our Paschal Sacrifice/El Cordero Pascual." In this incredible collaboration, Bob Hurd, Jaime Cortez, and Eleazar Cortés deliver 12 bilingual titles that celebrate the rich cultures of our diverse Church through the power of music.

Enjoy a unique blend of styles and language
The same artists who brought you Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo/We Are the Body of Christ join with Eleazar to offer a unique blend of both language and musical styles—from folk and rock to mariachi and salsa. Each song captures the voices of all three composers, united in song, and transitions seamlessly between English and Spanish.

Support numerous ritual moments of the liturgy
Ideal for accompanying the entrance and communion processions, "We Who Hunger, Come to the Table" reminds us that in belonging to Christ, we belong to each other. "Every Single Thing We Are" is a beautiful call to offer all that we are to God during the Preparation of the Gifts. Combining Christ's commissioning of the disciples with Psalms 95 and 96, "Go Out to the World" sends us forth to serve and share the Gospel.

Music in Spanish for Christian funerals
Eleazar Cortés is a true servant of the Church. A few years back, when he recognized the need for wedding music in Spanish, he created El Amor Nunca Pasará. More recently, he's been concerned about the repertoire for funeral liturgies. His latest collection, En el País de la Vida (In the Land of the Living), gives Hispanic parishes 14 richly crafted new songs for use in Christian funerals.

14 songs in a variety of traditional and Latin American styles
The titles include psalms, Communion songs, entrance hymns, songs of farewell, music for final commendation, and a Gospel acclamation. Featuring a variety of traditional and Latin American styles, the songs are accessible to the resources of the average parish. The poetic song texts are based on the ritual texts for funerals (paraphrased).

Produced by Pedro Rubalcava - makes great listening
Of course, this music is designed for use in the liturgy. But as with his previous collections, the CD is so colorfully recorded that it makes great listening outside the liturgy. Produced by Pedro Rubalcava, it features Latin American instruments and rhythms and great performances by professional musicians.

The funeral liturgy in Spanish never sounded so beautiful!
En el País de la Vida is another triumph for this talented composer and servant of the people of God. The funeral liturgy in Spanish never sounded so beautiful!

This 14-song CD by Eleazar Cortés features a collection of mariachi-style music for the Catholic rite of marriage.
