About the Artist
Gretchen Harris, UCMVA's two-time "Female Vocalist of the Year" nominee, is a Catholic singer/songwriter whose music expresses her love for God, the Blessed Sacrament, the Rosary, and sanctity of Life. Songs from her four CDs can be heard on Catholic and Christian radio stations in the United States and many other countries, in addition to the worldwide radio outreach of EWTN.
Gretchen's latest release, THE ROSARY, is promising to be a wonderful blessing to all who pray along with it. The Rosaries are recited, with beautiful mediational music in the background, composed and performed by Carl Herrgesell.
CHRISTMAS JOY, combines traditional favorites with new songs of the holidays. This is a delightful journey for the soul as we travel through the Christmas season with the joy that it holds for our hearts.
HOPE FOR TOMORROW was the "Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year" winner through the United Catholic Music & Video Assn. This is a soothing collection of contemporary music, with comforting lyrics to help people cope under extremely trying circumstances. It has a message of hope in God's presence, even in the darkest times.
SIGN OF LOVE contains many original songs, with Gretchen's lyrics expressing her simple and honest love of the Lord. This contemporary album has the talents of many top musicians in Los Angeles. The music has been moving and inspiring lives with it's full pop sound as well as the tender, beautiful ballads that facilitate prayer and touch the heart.
SING OF MARY, nominated for "Praise and Worship Album of the Year," is a beautiful collection of Marian favorites. This album includes songs from ages ago to new contemporary favorites. Gretchen has a special devotion to the Blessed Mother, and on a pilgrimage was blessed to receive a special sign to sing to Mary. She recorded this album in gratitude and love for her.
Recent television appearances were in San Antonio, Boston, Ohio, and a half hour concert showcase on the EWTN series BACKSTAGE and performances on Dana's series WE ARE ONE BODY.
Dana chose Gretchen to sing with her and Mark Girardin on the recording and the video of the moving pro-life song "THIS IS MY BODY." This recording was honored with Unity Awards for "Contemporary Song of the Year" and "Music Video of the Year."
Gretchen ministers through concerts, speaking engagements, and radio programs, performing most recently in Italy, Germany, Canada, Brazil, Florida, Washington DC, Nashville, and her hometown of Los Angeles.
In addition to her vocation as wife and mother of three children, Gretchen enjoys reaching out to others through her music ministry. She is busy ministering with her music, and would love to come to your church!

Good Content but Diffiult to Hear,
By
This review is from: The Rosary (Audio CD)
I love the meditations and fruits of the mysteries on this CD, but it is difficult to hear at least half of the priests, due to either the quietness of their voices or poor quality sound recording. I always have to adjust my speakers as well as increase the volume in order to actually hear the words. On one of the mysteries (I think it's the last one), in the middle of it I actually have to do even more adjusting because it keeps getting lower and lower in volume.
So I recommend this CD for it's content, but only if you don't mind fiddling with your stereo knobs a lot so that you can hear what's being said.

Lovely and meditative,
By
This review is from: The Rosary (Audio CD)
This is a basic rosary CD with the recitation only. There are no Bible references, just announcements of each mystery.
You just can't have too many rosary CDs! Each is wonderful and unique and lovingly carries us to the Blessed Mother. I own and play several rosary CDs and this is one of my favorites. Ms. Harris's voice is sweet but it sounds to me sometimes like she's trying to alter her natural voice to come across as being sweet and angelic. I prefer a more natural speaking tone. Personally, I prefer the different priests' voices and recitations. The glorious mysteries are led by a priest whose meditative style of recitation can transport me to the sublime realm - and I have to be careful when playing this in my car while driving! I would rate this CD as 5 stars for the priests and 4 stars for Ms. Harris.

Wonderful~,
By
This review is from: The Rosary (Audio CD)
I ordered this CD to use for my daily Rosary that I have started to do again in my walk of Faith with God. The music in the background is wonderful. It does not distract in any way at all. The 4 priests along with Gretchen makes saying the daily Rosary a very easy thing to do filled with Grace and the longing to continue to pray the Rosary as our Mother Mary would like for us to do. You won't be disappointed in Gretchen's Rosary CD. You will love listening to her voice and praying along with her too. Enjoy!
