Steve Angrisano

Steve Angrisano is one of the best musical evangelists in the Church today. A 20-year youth-ministry veteran with hundreds of events under his belt, he's mastered the art of drawing people -- young and old -- into an encounter with God.

Reveals the planning behind Steve's powerful events
Balancing exuberance and intimacy, he creates an atmosphere that opens hearts -- and fosters conversion. How does he do it? Essential Songs: A Road-Tested Resource for Youth Ministry brings you "behind the curtain," revealing the planning and prayer behind Steve's powerful events.

Music for 37 popular praise and worship songs
The book provides music for 37 of the most popular contemporary Christian songs (melody and text with guitar chords). Familiar from youth event and camp settings, they include hits by Steve, Matt Maher, Jesse Manibusan, and Tom Booth.

Includes all the best hand-gesture and call-and-response numbers
All the best call-and-response and hand-gesture songs are here -- "Trading My Sorrows," "Pharaoh, Pharaoh" -- as well as now-classic songs by CCM greats Chris Tomlin, Tim Hughes, and many others.

The four stages of a successful event
Steve outlines four distinct stages of a successful event: warm-up, transition, prayer and celebration. He explains each stage in detail in the introduction, then gives additional advice in the performance notes. Songs are organized according to use (e.g., warm-up songs appear within that section).

Practical tips for developing "craft" and "transparency"
Writing in a candid, casual style, Steve says there are two things every presenter needs: transparency and craft. Built on personal prayer, transparency is allowing God to speak and work through us. Craft is the skill-set behind leading a group, telling a story and singing a song. Steve gives practical tips for developing both.

Resource book for event leaders, words-only edition for attendees
Designed for event leaders, the spiral-bound Resource Book features handy section tabs, making it easy to flip to the songs you need, and a dry-erase planning guide for your set list. Event-goers can use the affordable words-only edition to follow along. This handy booklet includes complete lyrics for all 37 songs.

His new CD shows what a great event sounds like
What does a great event look and sound like? Steve's new CD, Live: Songs from the Road, recorded in concert, features 14 tracks from Essential Songs. It's a great illustration of what can happen when you apply these principles.

Helps youth ministers prepare their own faith-building events
"It's my great desire," Steve says, "to pass along a little bit of what I've learned through the years, traveling and speaking with young people." Essential Songs does just that, and more. An invaluable resource -- the first of its kind! -- it gives youth ministers everything they need to prepare their own faith-building events.

This is the guitar/unison accompaniment book for Mass of a Joyful Heart, a revised Mass setting by Steve Angrisano and Tom Tomaszek.

Worship with joyful enthusiasm
Originally commissioned for the National Catholic Youth Conference, the revised edition of this beloved contemporary Mass setting captures the spirit of the young Church with fun, upbeat rhythms and accessible melodies filled with joyous enthusiasm.

Combine familiar themes with new additions
Working closely with pastoral musicians to create a singable and approachable piece of music, Steve and Tom have combined familiar themes with new elements that faithfully present the new Roman Missal. They have also added a setting for the Penitential Act, a Lenten Gospel Acclamation, as well as a simple approach for all Gospel acclamation verses!

Steve's first album offers contemporary songs that tap the often-hidden spirituality in all of us, songs that challenge us to be agents of positive change in the world.

Created in collaboration with Tom Tomaszek, Make a Difference is well-produced, rhythmic, funky and jazzy, mixing spirited pop tracks and gorgeous, wispy ballads. Highlights include "My Soul Is Thirsting" and the ever-popular "Go, Make a Difference," with its irresistible refrain and hand movements -- familiar to those who've witnessed Steve's inspiring performances at World Youth Days and other events.

The collection includes three psalm settings and Steve's beautifully composed contemporary Mass setting, Mass of a Joyful Heart.

Steve dedicates the songs to "all the youthful voices" he has met and the difference they have made in his life and in the life of the Church. "I believe God gives us the tools and the vision to make miracles happen in this world," he says. "We are challenged every day to turn up our collar in the face of adversity and walk on. No matter what."

"In every age, the Church has called upon creative artists to give new voice to praise and prayer. Throughout history, God has continued to breathe forth his creative Spirit, making noble the work of musicians' hearts and hands. The forms of expression have been many and varied."

Foster spiritual renewal
Inspired by each other's music and their common approach to ministry, these three generations of Catholic songwriters embarked on the Age to Age: Generations of Faith concert tour, to join whole communities in spiritual renewal. Bring the experience of these events into your daily life with this unique and varied collection of anthems.

Join in a sung tapestry of prayer
From beloved titles you know by heart—including covers from each composer—to fresh arrangements of future classics such as "Many and One," "Ready the Way" and "These Alone Are Enough"—uniting all three artists in song—Age to Age highlights the enduring themes of faith, hope and love through a sung tapestry of prayer.

Experience three powerful voices, one powerful faith
Leaving behind their categories of youth, liturgical and contemporary, Steve Angrisano, Dan Schutte and Curtis Stephan come together to share their music with one another and with the Church... three powerful voices, one powerful faith.

Also available as an MP3 playlist.

Tracks: Many and One | Take Up Our Cross | Ready the Way | A Time Will Come for Singing | Falling Into You | Give Us Faith, Lord | Plow Your Row | These Alone Are Enough | Mighty King | O God, Be the Music | Benediction | We Live to Love

Inspired by the live performances of a beloved artist
Steve Angrisano is one of spiritandsong.com's most successful artists at not only reaching youth and young adults, but the wider Church as a whole. Born out of doing more than 100 events per year, Steve's preaching and message from those events are the underpinnings for the songs found on Inescapable Love.

His most collaborative album yet
His most collaborative album yet -- featuring songs co-written by Sarah Hart, Marc Byrd, Audrey Assad and Dwight Liles -- Steve delivers a wide array of songs sure to become liturgical and praise and worship classics... as well as a couple of surprises. Elements of bluegrass really come through with fiddle and dobro (yes, dobro) making appearances on an album that pays subtle homage to Steve's Southern roots.

Captures experiences we struggle to put into words
Comprised of 11 diverse originals and a cover fans will instantly recognize from his live shows, Inescapable Love builds upon Steve's ability to capture the profound, common experiences that we all struggle to put into words.

Great variety of styles
"One Step Away" reminds teens that no matter how far they may feel from God, they truly are just one step away. The down-home country feel of "Plow Your Row" features a beautiful duet with newcomer Audrey Assad. "Living God" -- with its old school 70s rock guitars -- takes you by surprise with a couple of head-banging moments. In his cover of Jared Anderson's "Amazed By You," you can't help but imagine Steve smiling as he sings "Lord, I'm amazed by you. How you love me."

Two new Eucharistic songs!
While best known for his contemporary songs of praise, Steve is also committed to providing the Church with inspiring and valuable liturgical pieces. That commitment is wholly evident in "Many and One" and "We Remember, We Believe," two unforgettable Eucharistic songs. Inescapable Love typifies the totality of Steve's ministry, preaching hope and the closeness of God in our lives.

Tracks: Come and See | Pour Out Your Love | Falling Into You | Living God | Plow Your Row | One Step Away | You Are God | The Lord Will Bless (Psalm 29) | Many and One | All the Glory | We Remember, We Believe | Amazed By You

Are you ready for this? For 94 minutes of electrifying music packed onto two CDs? For songs that set hearts on fire and challenge you to really live the good news of the Gospel? Get ready to Live It!

This compilation draws together 23 tracks from the biggest names in contemporary Catholic music, including Steve Angrisano, Tom Booth, Sarah Hart, Matt Maher, Jesse Manibusan, Ken Canedo and many others. It also introduces fresh music from 12 talented new artists who capture today's spirit and song.

More than any other album on the market, Live It! captures the wide range of musical styles rooted in Catholic spirituality -- which you can experience continuously online via spiritandsong.com. Featuring sweet ballads, edgy rock, folky pop and everything in between, Live It! doesn't compromise substance for style. These songwriters have drawn from Scripture, and the poetry in their own souls, to express the longing, devotion, struggle and joy we all go through on this wild journey called "faith." Highlights include the Daughters of God in a great cover of Carey Landry's "Hail Mary: Gentle Woman" and Val Limar Jansen in a gospel-style rendition of Jaime Cortez's classic "Rain Down."

Don't just stand there. Hear it! Sing it! Live It!

Steve's first album offers contemporary songs that tap the often-hidden spirituality in all of us, songs that challenge us to be agents of positive change in the world.

Created in collaboration with Tom Tomaszek, Make a Difference is well-produced, rhythmic, funky and jazzy, mixing spirited pop tracks and gorgeous, wispy ballads. Highlights include "My Soul Is Thirsting" and the ever-popular "Go, Make a Difference," with its irresistible refrain and hand movements -- familiar to those who've witnessed Steve's inspiring performances at World Youth Days and other events.

The collection includes three psalm settings and Steve's beautifully composed contemporary Mass setting, Mass of a Joyful Heart.

Steve dedicates the songs to "all the youthful voices" he has met and the difference they have made in his life and in the life of the Church. "I believe God gives us the tools and the vision to make miracles happen in this world," he says. "We are challenged every day to turn up our collar in the face of adversity and walk on. No matter what."

Vibrant, prayerful and lush, Set Free is more acoustic than Steve's previous collections, arranged with the simple instrumentation of church ensembles in mind. Seven of the 13 songs were composed for use in prayer and liturgy.

That doesn't mean the music holds back. The title track is a jamming pop-rock song celebrating the "God who truly sets us free from the chains that bind us." Both "Sweet Redeemer," co-written with Sarah Hart, and "Keep our Eyes on Jesus," a soulful gospel piece, will get hands clapping.

One highlight is "Daniel's Heart," which shows how the suffering and courage of three Daniels -- the young man from Steve's parish who died in the Columbine shooting, an infant named after him who had open heart surgery, and the biblical Daniel -- united and inspired the communities around them. Steve says this touching song is the best he's ever written.

Spirit & Song: By Request is an eclectic compilation of some of the best-known and most popular contemporary Christian songs of the past few years. Featuring rock, pop and reggae tracks, ballads and innovative remakes of worship standards, By Request is also a sampling of some of the most requested songs in the Spirit & Song songbook.

Many of your favorite artists were involved in the project as songwriters and performers, including Matt Maher, Tom Booth, Jesse Manibusan, Steve Angrisano and others. Highlights include "How Beautiful," a gorgeous ballad featuring Twila Paris on lead vocals and a lush, symphonic accompaniment by the Nashville String Machine: "How beautiful the hands that served the wine and the bread and the sons of the earth." Rich Mullins' classic Christian rock anthem, "Awesome God," is presented here in an edgy rendition by Tom Booth.

Steve Angrisano is one of the best contemporary songwriters around, and his fourth album only adds to the evidence. These 11 songs have already become staples for contemporary liturgies, prayer services, youth group events -- and young people with headphones -- everywhere.

Highlights include three new psalm settings, including "Taste and See," Steve's prayerful, singable, already popular new setting of Psalm 34. "Let Us Go Rejoicing" (Ps 122) is an excellent contemporary setting of this common psalm for Ordinary Time and church dedications and anniversaries.

Live It! fans will recognize "Mighty King," Steve's catchy pop-rock hit from that two-CD compilation. Asking "Why spend your wages for what fails to satisfy?," "Table of Life" is an inspiring Communion song and Steve's invitation to quench our thirst with Christ's life-giving water. Several songs from this collection were selected to be included in Spirit & Song 2.

Steve's superbly crafted songs welcome us to discover God's kingdom in our everyday lives. "Even in the rush and crush, the thunder of this world," he sings in "Follow Me," the exhilarating opening track, "there's a gentle whisper in my heart saying, 'I am your God, there is no other. Follow me!'" Offering a delectable array of guitar-, mandolin- and Hammond organ-spiced praise and worship tracks, Welcome Home helps us hear that gentle whisper and find our way back to God's embrace.
