Responsorial Psalm 88(89):2-3,16-19 for the 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A

I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.

I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord;
through all ages my mouth will proclaim your truth.
Of this I am sure, that your love lasts for ever,
that your truth is firmly established as the heavens.

I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.

Responsorial Psalm 33(34):2-9 for the solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, Apostles

From all my terrors the Lord set me free.

I will bless the Lord at all times,
His praise always on my lips;
in the Lord my soul shall make its boast.
The humble shall hear and be glad.

From all my terrors the Lord set me free.

Glorify the Lord with me.
Together let us praise His name.

Responsorial Psalm 68(69):8-10,14,17,33-35 for the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A

In your great love, answer me, O Lord.

It is for you that I suffer taunts,
that shame covers my face,
that I have become a stranger to my brothers,
an alien to my own mother’s sons.
I burn with zeal for your house
and taunts against you fall on me.

In your great love, answer me, O Lord.

The past couple of years, I've been working on a concept album where I have "redeemed" Communist Party propaganda songs as Catholic anthems.  This site, Richard the Webmaster, and many of you whom I've met here have been extremely supportive! I'd like to announce the album, "Communist Songs Reimagined as Catholic Anthems".  These songs are unusual and often a fresh take on ideas and may be useful for catechesis and other areas.   Here's a link to this on several major music services: Communist Songs Reimagined as Catholic Anthems I'm also linking to a favorite from the album:

We invite you to visit Catholic Liturgy in Song, a website that is currently offering free downloads of audio demos and sheet music for a wide range of liturgical and faith formation uses. Of particular interest to catechists is our collection called "Faith Songs for Kids".

https://insong.org/faith-songs-for-kids

Liturgy is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning "the work of the people". Our website is "the work of the people in song." It is also the Catholic mass in song. Taken together, "Liturgy in Song" covers a lot of ground – from sacred hymns and psalms to sacramental songs to catechetical songs to inspirational songs of faith. We embrace the Catholic tradition of music with lyrics that are theologically and doctrinally sound. Our songs are easy to learn and perform.

Note our collection of Salmos Responsoriales – written specifically for guitar-centric Spanish-speaking congregations with official texts from usccb.org/bible/lecturas. We have  completed the entire three-year liturgical calendar (ciclos A, B y C).

Sincerely,
Anthony Moran (composer)

Here is an article of interest published at Corpus Christi Watershed.

Author Daniel Craig wrote:

This article attempts to compare and contrast fifteen traditional Catholic hymnals. I focus on metrical hymns only: not Mass settings, not antiphons, not lectionary readings, not Gregorian hymns, not Responsorial psalms, not propers, so it can be “apples-to-apples.”

Hello, everyone: I am happy to share four songs from my new album of music with you. It’s my third album, the title is #6. I invite you to listen to it and I hope you will enjoy it. All of the songs on this album and on my previous albums are available to hear at no cost on my youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwylItG94zq5f8v6ham2J9g/

There are eleven songs on this new album: three are instrumentals, eight have singing. The text is from the books of Isaiah, Baruch, Psalms, Revelation and 1 Corinthians. The text is in French.  

Arrangements involve combinations of piano 1 and piano 2, harp, vibraphone, flute, clarinet, percussion and two singers (in unison).

Thank you so much for listening, i hope you will enjoy the music!

Rolling down a highway slipstream
You're missing signs, you don't look both ways
Just passing time in your dream machine
On a journey, out of phase

In the cradle of a grand creation
Under the moon and stars above
You begin to read the cracks and the ripples
You begin to feel a season of love...

Hope everyone's having a blessed Holy Week! Here is the Lamb of God liturgy in a new music setting with two intertwining melodies.  We did them male and female split.  The first video below is an electronic remix using the new setting (for listening and most likely not for Mass!) and the second video (on the right) below is the liturgical version.
