Sing and pray throughout the liturgical year
Shine in Me is a collection of hymns featuring newly composed music and texts for the major seasons and feasts of the liturgical year.

Their collaboration has produced seven songs for choir and assembly that cover the major feasts of the church year.

Offering a mixed style of traditional hymnody and contemporary song-writing, this collection is suitable for group worship, personal prayer and contemplative listening with choral arrangements varying from SAB to SATB. From simple keyboard and choir to unique combinations of multiple instruments, including violin, cello, flute, oboe, English horn and brass, all will find something to love in this collection!

Enrich worship with a variety of songs
"Who Is the Crucified," is a prayerful reflection of Christ's sacrifice with a melody that adds depth and poignancy. "Holy Spirit, Come" is a fresh hymn for Pentecost with a strong melody that is augmented by organ, choir and brass instruments while the title track features call-and-response verses for the entire Advent/Christmas season. Taken together, the seven songs in this collection speak to a wide range of musical tastes that add vigor to the song of our Church throughout the year.

This is a remarkable collection of Mass settings and seasonal music that includes ritual music for moments in the liturgy where musical selections are rare. Classical in form yet modern in style, songs in this collection cover music for all liturgical seasons, with arrangements for Lent, Easter, Advent and Christmas.

Kevin's new Mass setting, In Memory of Me, is included in The Vineyard of the Lord collection. It's a contemporary, high-energy composition and contains a wonderful new setting of the Eucharistic Prayer for Various Needs and Occasions; The various Mass parts are linked by a strong melody suitably accented by hints of jazz. In particular, the trumpet melody in the Holy; complements the beautifully intertwined vocal harmonies.

The vocal writing is very accessible, with unison singing and a soprano descant. These parts work well with solo piano and can be enhanced by the addition of other instruments.

Three gifted liturgical songwriters have come together to release Through the Eyes of Faith, an eclectic new collection of music for the liturgy. Based on years of friendship and partnership in music ministry, this collaboration has produced a wonderful variety of musical forms, from traditional hymns, choral anthems and newly arranged spirituals to folk-, pop- and gospel-style songs.

The 14 songs are suitable for funerals and other special liturgies, as well as seasons throughout the year. For Advent and Christmas, there is the upbeat and contemporary "Emmanuel Carol" and "In a Manger Lowly," a touching new arrangement of "Away in a Manger." For Easter, there's the gospel-style a cappella "The Angel Rolled the Stone Away."

Opening with the ringing of church bells and a simple, somber organ part, "Behold, before Our Wond'ring Eyes" is a haunting, a cappella setting of a Lenten hymn text by Genevieve Glen, OSB. "Enter with a Song" is a majestic and rousing gathering song. Proclaiming that "we believe this is Jesus, through the eyes of faith," the title song is a tender piano-, flute-, and cello-based Communion hymn.

Gael and Barney had already collaborated on a number of liturgical songs before meeting Kevin. After spending time together at pastoral music conventions and composer forums, the three developed a wonderful reciprocity and began to combine their talents on new compositions. The good fruit of this teamwork has come to light in Through the Eyes of Faith, a welcome and distinctive addition to the repertoire for worship and prayer.

This is the MP3 album for Wondrous Love Mass, a new Mass setting by Paul Hillebrand and Kevin Keil.

Lent is a time for Christians to look inward as we unite ourselves with Jesus and remember his passion, death and resurrection. The liturgies of Lent need simple and memorable music that will deepen our prayer as we journey together toward Easter. Paul Hillebrand and Kevin Keil have composed just such a setting.

The Mass setting is based on the haunting melody of the beloved American hymn, “What Wondrous Love Is This,” a song that has roots in the Appalachian region of the United States. First published around 1840, the hymn is a favorite among Christians of all denominations, especially as a song for Lent and Passiontide. A unique feature of Wondrous Love Mass is a complete setting of all the verses of the Lenten Gospel acclamation, with four options for the acclamation refrain.

With its familiar tune, Wondrous Love Mass is the perfect setting for parishes and communities looking for a reflective way to enter prayerfully into the season of Lent. The 14 sample tracks on this MP3 album will guide pastoral musicians and choirs as they learn this new Mass setting.

Track listing
Kyrie, Eleison/Lord, Have Mercy | Lenten Gospel Acclamation (I–IV) | Universal Prayer (Response) | Holy | We Proclaim Your Death | When We Eat This Bread | Save Us, Savior | Amen | Lamb of God
