Pedro Rubalcava

The first bilingual setting of morning, evening and night prayer!
Introducing the first bilingual setting of morning, evening and night prayer! Offering just about everything you need to sing the Liturgy of the Hours (in an adapted format), this new resource will advance the prayer life of bilingual parishes and those attending conferences, diocesan gatherings, and other events.

Sing the office in English, Spanish, or bilingually
The collection includes introductory verses, hymns, psalmody, canticles, responsories, Gospel canticles, intercessions, and more. Extremely versatile, it allows for singing the office entirely in English, entirely in Spanish, or bilingually. You can even sing the verses in one language then echo or respond in the other.

Helps diverse parish groups sanctify the day together
Designed especially to help diverse parish groups join together to sanctify the day, all three liturgies feature psalms and canticles from the first Sunday in the four-week cycle. Morning prayer contains settings of Psalm 63, the Canticle of Daniel and Psalm 149. Evening prayer includes Psalms 141 and 142 and the Canticle from Philippians. Night prayer (Sunday, after Evening Prayer II) has a setting of Psalm 91 and two Marian hymns.

Pedro's pastoral notes make it easy to get started
The songbook contains assembly editions and keyboard, guitar and vocal parts for all 20 songs. Some titles also have choral and solo instrument parts. Accompaniment and solo instruments vary from piano and guitar to flute, oboe, hand drum and cello. All antiphons have Spanish and English options; some, like the morning Gospel canticle (Benedictus), have a third option in Latin. The Orders of Service and Pedro's pastoral notes make it easy to get started.

CD features Pedro and Anna Betancourt on lead vocals
Featuring through-composed and chant settings, these new songs are accessible to the resources of any community. Produced by Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam, the CD makes a good learning tool as well as accompaniment for small group and individual reflection. Beautifully recorded, the disc features Pedro and talented singer Anna Betancourt on lead vocals throughout. In some ways, this resource is similar to Cyprian's Lord, Open My Lips.

Morning hymn with Native American overtones
Arranged for flute, hand drum and guitar, the morning hymn, "Amanecer," is a gentle song with Native American overtones. "At the break of day, we sing to the Giver of light that wakes the morning. To you, O God, we dedicate our life, our thoughts, our works, our very being."

Evening hymn features a lovely ostinato in Latin
The evening hymn, "Luz de Cristo/Light of Christ," invites Christ to dispel our darkness. In the verses, a cantor sings light-related titles for Christ ("Sun of Justice, Radiant Light") over a lovely ostinato in Latin.

Two Marian hymns for the seasons of the year
The collection closes with two bilingual Marian hymns or antiphons. "Salve Reina de los Cielos/Hail, Queen of Heaven" features simple piano accompaniment. "Queen of Heaven, Rejoice/Reina del Cielo, Alégrate" includes parts for hand drum, flute and guitar.

"A source of piety, and nourishment for personal prayer"
As Sacrosanctum Concilium reminds us, "The divine office, because it is the public prayer of the Church, is a source of piety, and nourishment for personal prayer." All who sing the Liturgy of the Hours "are earnestly exhorted in the Lord to attune their minds to their voices when praying it."

A wonderful selection of new music from Pedro Rubalcava
Mi Boca Proclamará Tu Alabanza is a wonderful selection of new music from Pedro Rubalcava. Thanks to this groundbreaking collection, Spanish and English speakers can sing, pray and find nourishment in the Liturgy of the Hours, together.

This guitar songbook provides chords, melody, vocal harmonies and lyrics for the songs on Misa del Sagrado Corazón, a Mass setting arranged for mariachi by Pedro Rubalcava.

Brassy staccato trumpets, lush and harmonious violins, the percussive strum of guitar strings, the syncopated bass-y bounce of the guitarrón, tight vocal harmonies—the distinct sounds of mariachi music are recognized the world over. Situated at the intersection of culture and religion, this traditional folkloric genre of music is significant for many Hispanic/Latino communities, and now this authentic music is available to enhance the liturgies and special celebrations in your community.

Composed by Grammy-nominated composer Pedro Rubalcava, Misa del Sagrado Corazón (Mass of the Sacred Heart) is the first complete Mass setting arranged for Mariachi ensembles published by OCP that utilizes approved texts from the Misal Romano. Set in accessible and easy-to-learn parts, this inviting and lively Mass setting is truly a Mass for the people.

Derived from folkloric Mexican dances, the styles featured in Misa del Sagrado Corazón (son, huapango, jarabe and joropo) are common to mariachi musicians. Structurally speaking, the rhythm section is composed of a guitarrón (large Mexican bass guitar) and vihuela (guitar-like instrument) as well as a traditional guitar. The violins and trumpets form the melodic and harmonic introductions, interludes and fills that are a hallmark of the mariachi sound.

Recorded in Los Angeles by world-renowned Mariachi los Camperos, the CD offers exceptionally produced music that, aside from delighting the listener, can serve as a great learning tool to help singers and instrumentalists learn the vocal harmonic structure and accompaniment parts. A full score manuscript edition is available with all the instrument parts, or individual instrumental parts can be downloaded as needed for your specific group.

Intended to invite participation by the people, many of the songs have a call and response format that lends itself nicely to the dynamic nature of the liturgy. While ideal for special liturgical celebrations such as the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Misa del Sagrado Corazón would also serve well for weddings, funerals and quinceañeras, in essence, any celebration that could benefit from an infusion of this delightful and vibrant music.

In Deo Gratias, Pedro creates fresh, singable, contemporary songs for processions and other ritual moments. Includes eight songs in English, three bilingual songs and one in Spanish.

Three of the pieces in Deo Gratias are Taizé-style, using a common antiphon in Latin and alternating verses in English and Spanish. This simple combining of languages encourages everyone in the assembly to join in and sing. Peter's goal in Deo Gratias is to "help people grow in their faith, as writing and performing this music helps me grow in mine."

Deo Gratias includes responsorial psalms, songs for penance services, the sprinkling rite, and a tender, Spanish processional for funerals.

The collection can be used throughout the year including Advent, Lent and Easter.

Pedro's songs are practical for small choirs or for keyboard and cantor, but can also be richly performed by larger choirs.

Peter Rubalcava's first collection with OCP, Amanecer features songs in Spanish and bilingual songs in English and Spanish.

A versatile resource for the multicultural parish, this collection provides music for a variety of seasons, including Advent, Lent, Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Pentecost. With music for gathering, reconciliation, responsorial psalms, Marian feasts, evening prayer and Communion, Amanecer will enhance celebrations throughout the liturgical year.

Newly remastered for the highest sound quality, the recording features an "all-star" choir—with guests Jaime Cortez and Cyprian Consiglio—and Peter Rubalcava on lead vocals, guitar, guitarrón and vihuela.

Produced by Cyprian Consiglio, Amanecer was nominated for a Grammy Award in the Mexican-American Performance category.

This is joyful, energetic music in a variety of styles. "Amanecer" (Dawn) is a beautiful song suited for morning prayer. Its spare arrangement for drums, acoustic guitar and a haunting flute give it a traditional, Native American sound. Other songs display Caribbean, contemporary and Mariachi styles, featuring piano, violins, Latin percussion, accordion, marimba and trumpet.
