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

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.
