Morning Light - Their first new collection in 20 years!
Twenty years after releasing their last collection, the St. Louis Jesuits are back! Composers of some of the most beloved liturgical music ever written, the group -- Tim Manion, Dan Schutte and Jesuit Fathers Bob Dufford, John Foley and Roc O'Connor -- has come together to produce Morning Light, a reunion collection of hope-filled songs for Sunday liturgies, funerals, retreats, prayer services and other celebrations.
Beautiful, accessible, innovative melodies
Featuring 12 newly written songs, three by each member of the group (except Manion), this collection proves they still have it. They still have that uncanny ability to set Scripture-based texts to beautiful, accessible, innovative melodies that fit and enhance the liturgy -- and touch the hearts of today's worshipers.
Reflecting 20 years of spiritual and musical growth
But this is no copy of their previous work. Reflecting 20 years of spiritual and musical growth, these new compositions have a depth, maturity and humility that modern assemblies will appreciate. Of course, the world around them has also changed. Concerned for the "dark clouds" and discouragement they see, the group determined to write music filled with "the hope we have been called to."
New music by Bob Dufford, SJ and John Foley, SJ
"Behind and Before Me," by Bob Dufford, is an exquisite setting of Psalm 139. Spiced with well-balanced parts for guitar, flutes, strings and choir, it reassures us of God's intimacy -- and recalls our limited ability to grasp it. Opening with a lovely prelude for trumpets, "Teach Us to Pray," by John Foley, invokes the Holy Spirit's help in prayer and all we do. Inspired by Romans 8, this simple hymn is a timely reminder that "all things work for good."
