This keyboard/guitar songbook gives you the accompaniments you need for the Eucharistic Prayer II, III presider edition from Mass of Spirit and Grace, by Ricky Manalo, CSP.

Representing the fulfillment of a life-long dream for Fr. Ricky Manalo, In the Sight of the Angels is a liturgical collection in which each song is a collaboration with another composer. The result is a collection of various cultural styles, gifts, languages and faith perspectives. Songs of inspiration, they invite each of us to dialogue with one another and to collaborate in our praise and glory to God.

This collection of music extends, deepens and celebrates every aspect of musical, textual and liturgical collaboration. For this collection of new and pastorally appropriate music Fr. Ricky joined forces with Sarah Hart; Bob Hurd; Jesse Manibusan; Dan Schutte; Suzanne Toolan, RSM; and Jorge Monterroso, OCarm, to create a wide range of musical styles.

Featuring music from multiple cultures and pastoral contexts, including contemporary, cathedral Asian pentatonic, praise and worship, gospel and more, In the Sight of the Angels also incorporates music in a variety of languages: English, Filipino, Italian, Latin and Spanish.

Highlights include the beautiful choral anthem, "Laudato Si'! Be Praised, O God," which—like Pope Francis' encyclical of the same name—calls attention to the present ecological concerns of our world and challenges us to respond and act accordingly. Premiered during Pope Francis' historic visit in 2015 to Manila, "Blessed Are You/Mapapalad Kayo" fills a need for more bilingual music in English and Filipino for worship communities who wish to recognize and celebrate their Filipino heritage.

As you listen to the album or sing through the songs in the octavo packet, you'll begin to see the wonderful effects of this collaborative project. You'll find that each song is unique in style and theme, yet designed to achieve one goal: the creation of beautiful music to engage worshiping assemblies in full, conscious and active participation.

Inspired by Pope John Paul's encyclical on the place of Sunday in Christian worship, Ricky Manalo has put together On This Day, a wonderful collection of music for the Sundays and solemnities of Ordinary Time.

The songbook includes a complete list of these saints and a handy pronunciation guide. "Transfiguration" and "Pie Jesu" feature unique instrumentation -- with parts for SATB choir, clarinet, cello, bass and woodwinds -- and make excellent new choir performance pieces.

Music directors looking for accessible music with beautiful melodies and sound theology will especially appreciate On This Day.

The revised edition of Paulist Father Ricky Manalo's well-researched resource boasts the same goal as the original—to teach presiders how to chant any written prayer text. Featuring updated lessons and exercises as well as internet-accessed sound samples that demonstrate each chanted prayer, this revised edition of Chanting on Our Behalf will do just that.

Designed to support those with little training in presidential music leadership, this resource provides a step-by-step course to help seminarians, deacons, priests and even bishops learn the vocal skills necessary for presidential chanting and leadership. Spread out over ten lessons and eighteen exercises, the course can seamlessly be integrated into any clergy formation course in seminaries or theological institutions.

Using prayer texts from the revised Roman Missal, Father Manalo's simple approach involves learning just six notes and the ability to recognize the liturgical, grammatical and ritual flow of a prayer text. Thus, it allows more freedom to improvise, embellish and adapt one's own interpretation of prayer texts. Filled with practical tips on proper posture, breathing, warming up and more, this book is informative and easy to use. The audio samples facilitate learning the concepts, and the vocal exercises help to solidify those concepts.
