Prepare for Communion with a variety of musical styles

Prepare communities to receive our Lord in the sacred Eucharist with choral arrangements of all sixty-five Communion antiphons in a variety of styles, from chant and diatonic harmony to intricate modern arrangements and musical devices like organum, canon, inversion and imitation. Beginning with Advent and Christmas, a Communion antiphon is provided for each Sunday, Solemnity and Feast.

Inspire renewed devotion to Eucharist

About one minute in length, the settings provide an opportunity for a brief moment of quiet listening for the assembly, just prior to receiving Communion. Christopher Walker has masterfully crafted melodies that convey the deeper meaning of these beautiful texts reminding listeners of the power of the word of God and the mystical devotion in the act of receiving Holy Communion.

Volume 1 of this two–volume set includes antiphons for all the seasonal Sundays, Solemnities and Feasts in the Roman Missal for Years A, B and C.

Master composer Bob Fabing is still teaching the Gospel through music. Somehow, in between evangelizing Asia and overseeing retreat and counseling centers, he still finds time for composing. Featuring 23 new songs and Mass parts for every season of the year, his latest collection reveals an evolving gift for buoyant texts and melodies.

Music for the liturgy, personal prayer, devotions
Though created for the liturgy, Let Me Follow also has strong devotional application. Many songs express a powerful, personal approach to Christ. Recurring themes include following Jesus' example, returning to God, and growing in holiness. Excellent background music for meditation, these titles are also great for prayer services and small faith group gatherings.

Contemplative hymns, new setting of a classic
Opening with a gorgeous prelude for strings, "O Salutaris Hostia" is a refreshing new setting of the beloved eucharistic hymn. "O God of Love" and "Return to God" feature repeating verses reminiscent of Taiz? chants. Another strong devotional piece, the title track begs for grace to "follow [Christ] evermore nearly."

Gospel-style songs, exuberant entrance hymns
Featuring impressive lead and backing vocals, "I'm Goin' Down to the River" is a forceful, gospel-style testament to divine mercy: "Now the river is Jesus. He wash your sins away." Other highlights include "Open Our Hearts" and "Come, My Friends," both exuberant entrance hymns.

Newly commissioned Mass for Teresa of Calcutta
The collection also marks the debut of the newly commissioned Mass for Teresa of Calcutta. A longtime friend of Mother Teresa and her community, Father Fabing wrote a song in her honor and sang it at her beatification. Now he's written this accessible new Mass setting, a beautiful way for Catholics the world over to join him in remembering her.

With Let Me Follow, Bob Fabing brings us back to the roots and essentials of our faith -- and issues a convincing musical call: like the apostles, may we lay aside every obstacle to follow "the One who has loved" us.

This is the keyboard/choral songbook for Mass of Christ the Savior, a new Mass setting by Dan Schutte.

Sing, pray and share the Eucharist with Christ
Each time we celebrate the Mass, Christ is present as head of the Mystical Body—singing and praying with us, proclaiming the word, giving thanks, and finally, sharing the meal of his own body and blood with us. This very thought was Dan's driving force for composing Mass of Christ the Savior.

Teach this accessible, new setting with ease
Common chord progressions and similar musical motifs create an interconnectedness that binds the various Mass parts together, making it easy to teach this accessible new setting to your assembly. Scored for SAB choir, the arrangement lends itself well to simple guitar or keyboard to full instrumentation with oboe, cello and two trumpets.

Embrace the new translation
Featuring beautiful melodies that will quickly become like old friends, this setting will help your parishioners embrace the new translation, thanks to a masterful wedding of music and text.

Continuing his long-standing work of evangelization among the people of Asia, Jesuit Father Bob Fabing is now offering Korean translations of some of his best-known music. Published in Seoul, this beautifully packaged songbook and CD bring the inspiring songs of this renowned composer to Korean speakers around the world.

Rise My Friend features many of Bob's most popular songs, such as "Your Song of Love," his tribute to Mother Teresa, "Come to Me," and "Everlasting Covenant." Sung by Augustine Won and Praisephile with guitar, keyboard, wind, string and choir accompaniment, these tender liturgical songs will touch the hearts of Korean speakers just as they have English speakers who have known and loved them for more than 25 years. The collection also includes three original songs by Kenny Park.

This modest collection is aimed at fulfilling the need for Advent music that is within the capability of the average singer in a small parish choir. It is also an attempt to augment the repertoire of Advent music for the assemblies these choirs serve. Like flashes from a prism, these carols illumine facets of the season that help greatly to pierce and parse aspects of this holy time into tangible portions.

The model structure for the whole of this program is, of course, the well-known Service of Lessons and Carols celebrated annually at Christmas time by choirs around the world. Many of these songs are designed to be sung by both the assembly and the choir. May they prove a blessing for your community.
