Sing, pray and share the Eucharist with Christ

All of us have had moments when we hear something -- a familiar melody, a favorite instrument -- that makes us pause, remember God and enter spontaneously into prayer. For many, music is a particularly powerful trigger for these times of spiritual communion with the Lord.

The latest instrumental collection from Dan Schutte
All My Days, the latest collection of instrumental tracks from Dan Schutte, provides over 50 minutes of moments like this. Gentle, quiet and reflective, the music makes a calming background for personal prayer, retreats, prayer services and other occasions. Instruments include piano, oboe, flute, cello, violin and other strings.

Medleys featuring some of his most popular songs
The recording contains four instrumental suites, each of which is a carefully arranged, smoothly flowing medley of three songs. Lushly orchestrated by Bob Harrold, All My Days features melodies from many of Dan's most popular songs: "Though the Mountains May Fall," "City of God," "Sing a New Song," and others.

Perfect for listening at home, while driving, working or on retreat, this is music that inspires prayerful moments in which we say, "I will bless your name, sing your praise, give you thanks, all my days."

This 14-song CD by Dan Schutte features ritual and seasonal music, including the original version of Mass of God's Promise. Dan also includes an Advent gathering song, an adaptation of a traditional Christmas hymn, a Palm Sunday processional, songs of praise and more.

This 12-song CD features music for Lent and Easter as well as selections for Christian initiation, Eucharist, weddings and funerals.

A best-selling album

Originally released in 1975, Earthen Vessels was the second album from the St. Louis Jesuits; it continues to be one of the best-selling albums of Catholic music ever recorded. Now you can discover once again how the Holy Spirit inspired five young men to create extraordinary music that would enjoy a cherished place in the hearts of generations of Christians around the world.

The St. Louis Jesuits—like never before

This unique anniversary edition features five never-before released tracks from the group's original recording sessions in 1974. Dubbed playfully as "the Berkeley Basement Tapes," these tracks offer a rare glimpse into the creative process of this influential music group. Interestingly, these then-new songs are already in the form and arrangement in which they were eventually released, almost as if they burst forth whole from the composers. The vocals on these tracks are an amazing testimony to how well their voices blended, even at this early stage of their career: the trademark harmonies, the detailed guitar lines—it's all here.

Take a trip down memory lane

With its familiar track sequence, this commemorative collection of Earthen Vessels demands that the listener hear the album in its entirety. Think of it like a mini-retreat. Some Catholics will hear this album and be transported back to a time when they were coming of age in their relationship with God. Youth today who have heard parish choirs sing these songs can now experience them as the composers intended. This special anniversary edition also includes a 24-page booklet with rare photos of the young Jesuits and the story of the making of Earthen Vessels, written by historian Ken Canedo. As Ken concludes, "We hold a treasure, indeed!"

This 31-track CD features processionals, litanies, prayers of intercession, psalms, hymns and acclamations for nearly every rite in the Triduum.

Special re-release of a treasured collection
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beloved song "Here I Am, Lord," OCP announced a special re-release of the popular 15-year anthology of songs dating from 1970-1985. Here I Am, Lord — 30th Anniversary Edition includes a fresh new recording of the title song with the previously unrecorded second verse, in addition to the 15 tracks from the original CD.

Many of Dan's most popular liturgical compositions
The entire remastered anthology contains Dan Schutte's most popular liturgical compositions from his time as a member of the St. Louis Jesuits. The 16 songs in this collection were chosen from The Steadfast Love, Lord of Light, Earthen Vessels, Gentle Night, A Dwelling Place and others.

A common repertoire for worship around the world
Dan Schutte's huge impact on Catholic liturgy over these past 30 years is unmistakable. Successful hits like "City of God," "Sing a New Song" or "Here I Am, Lord" elicit immediate recognition from an entire generation of American Catholics. These songs have become a common repertoire for worship throughout the world.

Singable, scripturally based songs
Indeed, to sing Dan Schutte's lyrics is to sing scripture. Beautiful scripturally based songs like "Only This I Want" give way to singable tunes like "Send Us Your Spirit." The album moves gracefully from energetic, upbeat music to gentle, prayerful melodies.

Includes the story behind the title track
With gorgeous new cover art and a story from Dan himself about the process of writing "Here I Am Lord," this compilation will inspire and delight a whole new generation.

Also available as an MP3 playlist.

This 12-song CD, originally released in 1989, is Dan Schutte's first solo collection. It includes songs that are less well known among his compositions, but also features pieces that have become part of the common repertoire in my worshipping communities. You’ll also find here the “Gospel Acclamation” and “Lamb of God Litany” that were later incorporated into the popular St. Louis Jesuit Mass.

Special re-release of a treasured collection
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the beloved song "Here I Am, Lord," OCP announced a special re-release of the popular 15-year anthology of songs dating from 1970-1985. Here I Am, Lord — 30th Anniversary Edition includes a fresh new recording of the title song with the previously unrecorded second verse, in addition to the 15 tracks from the original CD.

Many of Dan's most popular liturgical compositions
The entire remastered anthology contains Dan Schutte's most popular liturgical compositions from his time as a member of the St. Louis Jesuits. The 16 songs in this collection were chosen from The Steadfast Love, Lord of Light, Earthen Vessels, Gentle Night, A Dwelling Place and others.

A common repertoire for worship around the world
Dan Schutte's huge impact on Catholic liturgy over these past 30 years is unmistakable. Successful hits like "City of God," "Sing a New Song" or "Here I Am, Lord" elicit immediate recognition from an entire generation of American Catholics. These songs have become a common repertoire for worship throughout the world.

Singable, scripturally based songs
Indeed, to sing Dan Schutte's lyrics is to sing scripture. Beautiful scripturally based songs like "Only This I Want" give way to singable tunes like "Send Us Your Spirit." The album moves gracefully from energetic, upbeat music to gentle, prayerful melodies.

Includes the story behind the title track
With gorgeous new cover art and a story from Dan himself about the process of writing "Here I Am Lord," this compilation will inspire and delight a whole new generation.

"I wanted this setting to be flexible enough to accommodate many worship settings... whether it be a small chapel or a spacious cathedral"
—Dan Schutte

Enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ
Featuring beautiful melodies that will quickly become like old friends, Mass of Christ the Savior invites us to enter more deeply into the mystery of Christ each time we celebrate Mass. The arrangement lends itself to a single singer and guitar or SAB choir, organ and added instruments. Containing updated texts for the Lamb of God, the expanded edition of this widely used setting offers a masterful wedding of music and text to inspire your parish.

Discover a variety of expanded material
"Living Streams," easily learned by the assembly for the Sprinkling Rite, builds with intensity each time it's sung. In addition to the original Glory to God with refrain, Dan includes a new through-composed option. The elegant Universal Prayer is an accessible way to sing the Prayers of the Faithful each Sunday or for special celebrations during the year. Eucharistic Prayer II gives presiders a melodic chant setting for the summit of the liturgy.

Enjoy musical settings for every Dialogue
In Sing to the Lord, the U.S. bishops' instructions to liturgical musicians state that "Dialogues and Acclamations" are given the highest priority in the sung part of the liturgy. From the Introductory Dialogue to the Final Blessing and Dismissal, this expanded edition provides settings for each dialogue, creating a more engaging interaction between the priest and congregation to encourage full, conscious and active participation.

Accompaniments available Winter 2013!

This is the MP3 playlist for Mass of God's Promise, a revised Mass setting by Dan Schutte.

"One of the great challenges for people of faith is to live in hope in the midst of many events that can dishearten us. The source of our hope as Christians is God's promise to us: 'I will be with you always.'"—Dan Schutte

Enjoy flexible arrangements
Preserving the essence of what made the original setting so endearing, Dan's revision offers congregations an accessible way to learn and sing the new texts. The poetic meter and accents combine with memorable melodies that are equally beautiful when performed as a cathedral choir, a contemporary ensemble with guitar and percussion or even a single cantor accompanied by piano.

This is the MP3 playlist for To Praise You.

"For me, as a composer, music flows out of life. Each song and hymn speak a sincere prayer from the depths of the human heart as we journey in faith."
—Dan Schutte

Deepen communal worship and personal prayer
From folk ballads to traditional hymnody and chant-inspired songs, To Praise You provides a wealth of liturgical music to deepen communal worship and promote personal prayer. Parish ensembles of all sizes will enjoy accessible SAB choral arrangements and versatile instrumentation for piano, guitar, as well as a variety of solo instruments—including flute, oboe, clarinet, brass, violin, cello and handbells. Bring this collection to life with the choral songbook.

Enrich various moments in the liturgy
"Saints of God" and "Let Me Go Now In Peace" (based on Simeon's song) are joyous and hope-filled additions for the funeral liturgy. One of many songs for praise and gathering, "Hymns of Praise"—inspired by the Te Deum hymn and based on the Gregorian Regina Coeli chant—combines timeless texts with a melody that delves straight to the heart of prayer.

Draw closer to God's presence
