Antonio Alcalde

Created to empower the faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery in its fullness, this collection from one of Spain's most famous liturgical composers ("Glory, Praise and Honor") contains 13 hymns and songs in Spanish for Holy Week.

Designed for assembly and choir, it provides songs for Palm Sunday, a setting of "Ubi Caritas," music for the transfer of the Eucharist for Holy Thursday, and songs for Good Friday, including a setting for the Way of the Cross and two settings for the veneration of the cross.

This new collection from Antonio Alcalde, masterfully performed by the Coral Isidoriana in León, offers beautiful hymns for the Liturgy of the Hours. The songs include official hymn texts along with songs that reflect minor changes in the lyrics as well as others that are brand new.

Among the new hymns, some of the highlights are "¿A Dónde Te Escondiste?" de San Juan de la Cruz; "Nos Has Llamado al Desierto," a new Lenten song; y "Ave, Luz Mañanera," based on Ave Maris Stella for use during Marian feasts.
