A simple but profound musical tribute to Mary
A Solas con María (Alone with Mary), Hermana Glenda's fourth and latest album, is a simple but profound musical tribute to the most holy mother of Jesus. Similar in style to her previous recordings, these 12 new songs will delight listeners everywhere.

Songs that help us all become "beloved disciples"
The opening track assures us that Mary is indeed mother of all the faithful. "If you don't know how to pray," she sings, "this is your mother. If your cross weighs heavily upon you, this is your mother." The message occurs again and again throughout the collection: Hermana Glenda urges us, in her poetic, Scripture-based lyrics and in the spontaneous prayers that sometimes appear between songs, to allow Mary to lead us closer to God, that we may all become "beloved disciples."

Includes two touching, autobiographical songs
In addition to two traditional songs, the collection includes two very touching autobiographical songs. "María" recalls her grandmother's prayers, while "Madre de Consolación" reveals the moment Hermana Glenda received her calling to ministry through music. "A 15-year-old girl," the song begins, "grateful for having discovered Christ, entered a church in her hometown, got out her guitar and composed her first spiritual song. Never did she imagine that later she would sing it for so many people. That girl was me!" Blessed are those of us who now hear her sing!

Acoustic, orchestral and instrumental versions available
It's available in three editions: acoustic (solo voice and guitar), instrumental, and one with the accompaniment of Andean pipes, accordion, piano, strings, flute, mandolin and other instruments. Beautifully packaged, each CD includes a full-color glossy booklet with complete Spanish lyrics and images of Mary from well-known paintings and icons. Great for listening anytime, all three also make an excellent background for prayer and mediation.
