CD – He’s Alive

An album of liturgical music, with 11 songs in English suitable for Easter celebrations. The songs are taken from the well-known and admired original album – in Italian – “Il misterio pasquale”, with the addition of a new composition, an unpublished entrance song: You Call Us By Name.

The first eight of the eleven songs are songs for Easter: You call us by name, Easter Gloria, Easter alleluia, Like a river, Holy, Lamb of God, Forever with you, Now I know he is alive. The last three were chosen to be sung on other days of Holy Week: Love’s true meaning, No greater love, and Morning will come.

A poetic and musical work on the “pillars” of Holy Week. An instrument at the service of liturgical assemblies, the result of a work of ideation and composition spanning at least two years, enriched in its phases by the theological and musical contribution of Msgr. PierAngelo Sequeri, both for the bearing architectures of the whole and for the profound theological and spiritual core of each passage, of each gesture and moment.

The “execution guide” includes the scores and lyrics of the music of the homonymous CD.

From the preface by Msgr. Pierangelo Sequeri: “The seed sown by Chiara Lubich, in the wake of Christian musical commitment, has accompanied generations in the discovery of the jubilus of faith. It has made buds of prayer and communion flourish, teaching the simple and profound way of mutual edification. with ‘hymns and songs’ (Col 3, 16) “.

“… Music and words of a happily shared experience of faith: that wishes to restore affection to the liturgy of the Church, from which it was originally nourished.”

A version of this album is also available in Spanish: “Vive hoy, vive aquí”.
