Bob Hurd

In his apostolic letter on the rosary, Pope John Paul II specifically recommends the use of icons in praying the rosary. The CD-ROM component of A Contemplative Rosary features stunning, full-color icons for all 20 mysteries of the rosary.

Commissioned especially for this project, the icons were written by iconographer Charles Rohrbacher. The CD-ROM lets you project the icons onto a wall or screen, allowing small or large groups to clearly see and meditate on them throughout the prayer.

The Our Common Home CD features music by Barbara Bridge; Jaime Cortez; Bernadette Farrell; Bob Hurd; Michael Joncas; Ricky Manalo, CSP; Curtis Stephan; Janèt Sullivan Whitaker and Rufino Zaragoza, OFM. The musical styles are, understandably, as diverse as the composers themselves, with everything from Taizé and rock to contemporary, Irish folk and choral.

This collection includes Bob Hurd's most popular Spanish/English bilingual songs and acclamations for the liturgy.

You can experience these spirited, rhythmical and poignant songs that reflect the deepest feelings of the human heart -- a thirst for justice and a hunger for God.

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.

Lead your congregation in worship
Give your ensemble the accompaniments and vocal parts they need to lead your congregation in worship with the Gracia y Amor/Grace and Love octavo packet—featuring performance tips, suggested use and bilingual composer notes from Bob, Jaime and Eleazar!

Explores the meaning of communion
"What does it mean that Christ gives himself to us as our food and drink? And when we receive him, what are we getting ourselves into? This is the territory explored in this new collection Dining in the Kingdom." -Bob Hurd

Allows songs to be used all year long
In two of his previous works, A Lenten Journey and One with the Risen Lord, Bob approached the communion song as an echo of the day's readings. This collection, instead, focuses on the Eucharistic rite itself: the action of sharing in the body and blood of Christ. This approach allows these songs of unity to be used all year long, not only when specific lyrical lines are referenced in the liturgy of the word.

Blends majestic choral movements with bluesy guitar
Dining in the Kingdom complements nine communion songs with three songs about gathering, a central theme of the Eucharist. "With All the Saints" is packed with brass, rumbling percussion and majestic choral movements that dynamically build to the last note. Bluesy guitar phrasings provide added depth to the joyful anthem "Here I Am, O Lord." In the calming and peaceful "A Listening Heart," soloists effortlessly emerge and return to the choir with vocals that act as a soothing meditation.

Features arrangements by Craig Kingsbury and Rick Modlin
Music ministers and choir directors, bring this wonderful collection to life with the Dining in the Kingdom octavo packet! Featuring excellent arrangements from Craig Kingsbury and Rick Modlin, eight of the 12 songs lend themselves especially well to choir, keyboard and guitar, as well as one or two solo instruments. Your assembly will love singing along to a variety of musical styles, ranging from gospel to contemporary.

Tracks: With All the Saints | Dining in the Kingdom | Those Who Eat My Flesh | Truth in the Heart | The Bread that I Will Give | Here I Am, O Lord | Taste and See | As Grains Once Scattered | Bread of Heaven | A Listening Heart | To Whom Else Shall We Go | Prepare Me A Body

Inspired by Pope John Paul's apostolic letter on the rosary (Rosarium Virginis Mariae), Bob Hurd and friends have created a resource that invites us to rediscover the rosary as a form of contemplative prayer. Designed for both communal and individual recitation, A Contemplative Rosary engages the whole person through music, Scripture readings, icons and meditations.

Music

• Allows you to fully "sing the rosary" -- provides simple chant settings for the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory to the Father
• Includes choral harmonies and instrumental accompaniment, with parts for cello, piano and hand bells, for communal recitation (complete score available in Leader's Guide)
• Includes several pieces for gathering and preparing to pray the rosary, and a song for sending forth
• Beautifully recorded CD illustrates how A Contemplative Rosary sounds in its most communal form, prayed in a church with an assembly, presiding minister, choir and readers
• One CD for each of the four sets of mysteries: joyful, luminous, sorrowful and glorious
• An excellent learning tool, the CD can also serve as accompaniment for individual and small group recitation
• People's book and CD-ROM feature stunning, full-color icons for all 20 mysteries; the CD-ROM lets you project them onto a wall or screen for groups to see and study throughout the prayer

Scripture & Meditations

• Includes Scripture verses for proclamation by a reader at various points across each decade
• People's book includes biblical meditations prepared by Dr. Elaine Park, professor of biblical studies at Mt. Angel Seminary, St. Benedict, OR
• Designed especially for personal recitation, the reflections invite the reader to delve more deeply into each mystery before turning the page to study the icon and pray the decade

The books also contain three enlightening essays: one by Bishop Michael Warfel of the Diocese of Juneau, Alaska, reflecting on the papal encyclical, which inspired him to initiate this project; "Incarnation and Icon," by Charles Rohrbacher, explaining how icons can help us "encounter" the living God; and a helpful overview and introduction by Bob Hurd, with suggestions for getting the most out of this resource.

Meticulously prepared, beautifully designed and revolutionary in its approach, A Contemplative Rosary can help Christians everywhere "contemplate Christ with Mary" through singing and praying the sacred mysteries of the holy rosary.

In his apostolic letter on the rosary, Pope John Paul II specifically recommends the use of icons in praying the rosary. The CD-ROM component of A Contemplative Rosary features stunning, full-color icons for all 20 mysteries of the rosary.

Commissioned especially for this project, the icons were written by iconographer Charles Rohrbacher. The CD-ROM lets you project the icons onto a wall or screen, allowing small or large groups to clearly see and meditate on them throughout the prayer.

This latest offering from veteran composer Bob Hurd includes eight songs for Advent, Lent, Holy Thursday, Easter season and Ordinary Time as well as the complete Santa Clara Mass. With songs that flow wonderfully like gentle streams, The Bread of Your Word offers music with a cohesive quality in terms of both melody and text.

The melodies are easy to sing, moving gently in a way that will allow any choir or assembly to quickly pick them up and bring them to life at Mass. The texts are drawn from the Scripture readings that appear on Sundays throughout the liturgical year and the ritual texts of the Mass—both sources of God's word and the nourishment it provides.

Musical styles range from Celtic folk and rock to chant and more traditional keyboard-based liturgical music. Featuring Uilleann pipes and the penny whistle, "Every Creature Is Sister and Brother" offers a succinct summary of Pope Francis' Laudato Si': On Care for Our Common Home, filling a pressing need in our liturgical repertoire for music that speaks to our responsibility to the earth and its care.

For those parishes that are ready to consider a new Mass setting, Santa Clara Mass might well be just what they're looking for. Bob's settings of the various parts of the Mass can be accompanied equally well with piano or guitar (or both!). The lovely melodic theme will make a memorable companion for parishioners as they are sure to find themselves humming it throughout the week.

Proclaim the Word with clarity
Highlight the distinctive role the psalms play in the proclamation of the Word with this beautiful collection of musical settings of the new translation of the Grail Psalms. Each Psalm includes both chant and metered music, striking a balance between traditional and modern styles. The verses, intended for a single cantor, give greater clarity to the proclamation of the Word, just as a single lector normally proclaims other readings.

Listen and reflect year after year
Featuring 12 Grail Psalms covering more than 50 Sundays in the 3-year Liturgical cycle, youÆll also enjoy keyboard/guitar and solo instrument arrangements with choral parts on the refrains. Reflective and contemplative, the collection appeals to all pastoral musicians.

Enjoy unique arrangements
Differing from standard psalm settings that feature a metered refrain and chant tones for the verses, this unique collection offers verses in a chant style that moves into meter about two-thirds of the way through, facilitating a seamless and smooth transition into the metered refrain.

Tracks: Psalm 16: You Are My Inheritance, O Lord / Lord, You Will Show Us the Path | Psalm 19: Lord, You Have the Words of Everlasting Life / The Precepts of the Lord / Your Words, Lord, Are Spirit and Life | Psalm 23: The Lord Is My Shepherd / I Shall Live in the House of the Lord | Psalm 34: Taste and See the Goodness of the Lord / The Lord Hears the Cry of the Poor | Psalm 40: Here Am I, Lord / Lord, Come to My Aid | Psalm 63: My Soul Is Thirsting for You | Psalm 90: Fill Us with Your Love / If Today You Hear His Voice / In Every Age, O Lord | Psalm 95: If Today You Hear His Voice | Psalm 98: All the Ends of the Earth / The Lord Has Revealed to the Nations / The Lord Comes to Rule | Psalm 103: The Lord Is Kind and Merciful | Psalm 145: I Will Praise Your Name / The Hand of the Lord | Psalm 146: Blessed Are the Poor in Spirit / Lord, Come and Save Us / Praise the Lord, My Soul
