OCP: Music that serves God's people
OCTAVO SPOTLIGHT
Graced Communion! We Must Sing! Steve Angrisano and Teresa Cobarrubia Yoder
Featuring a text from OCP's hymnary Unite Our Hearts, this setting uses a driving, contemporary accompaniment to illustrate the excitement and joy of the lyrics. This energy is present in the melody, too, with its expressive but singable leaps and metric shifts between duple and triple subdivisions that intuitively follow the word stresses of the text. Scored for piano, guitar, solo instrument in C, and three-part choir, this setting will surely invigorate the assembly's worship experience.

Sing to the Lord offers instruction on matters from the practical (instrument placement, acoustics, copyrights) to the pastoral (ministerial roles, cultural diversity, formation), and outlines how to evaluate music for liturgical use.
