5.0 out of 5 stars Expert recording of some of the most beautiful music, December 2, 1999

By 

Raymond E. Conrad (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Catholic Classics 1 (Audio CD)

This CD and Volume 2 remind me of the Church and the happy times when I was a child. All those that I loved and loved me were alive. Sometimes I pray for my father or grandparents with "I am the Bread of Life" playing in the background. It always makes me cry, but I know that they are with the Lord. The refrain "I will raise you up on the last day" brings tears to my eyes even as I write this review.

I am using this type of classic music to instruct my kids in the Catholic Tradition. We also discuss other hymns which have significant theological content such as "One Bread One Body." That one is not yet recorded. I hope the producer will fill in with some of these.

I have mentioned to my children that if their friends of other religions ask what being a Christian in the Catholic Tradition is all about to explain the words in "One Bread One Body."

These are some of the most beautiful songs on one cd ever. I get tears almost every time I listen to "You Are Near", and that's quite often! Wonderful, soaring voices-nothing jazzed up or "cute". Listen to this cd and find your spirit uplifted every time!

4.0 out of 5 stars very ethereal - a solemn, not joyful, song of praise, April 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Catholic Classics 1 (Audio CD)

(Yahweh, I Know) You Are Near is a beautiful song of praise based on Psalm 139. This version by a women's choral group, is very solemn, almost ethereal sounding with organ background. Would perhaps prefer to hear the song performed in an uptempo folk beat, with guitar accompaniment. The song certainly does lend itself lyrically to a more joyful expression of praise.
