Misa del Mundo -- Spanish for "Mass of the world" -- is Jesse's gift to the multicultural Church.

Features song texts in an amazing number of languages
Contemporary and international in style, this innovative Mass setting serves to unify the many ethnic communities that make up the universal Church. It's a liturgy with lyrics in an amazing number of languages, including Spanish, English, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Chinese, Portuguese, Polish, Tongan, Chamoru and Filipino.

Includes "Malo, Malo, Thanks Be to God," one of Jesse's all-time favorites
The collection includes "Malo, Malo, Thanks Be to God," one of Jesse's most popular compositions. This catchy, multilingual song of gratitude was selected to appear on Light of the World, the official CD of World Youth Day 2002. "No Longer the Stranger," a dreamy, swaying ballad, is another highlight. Marked by shimmering percussion and bird calls, "Agua Viva" closes the album with a hush.

Backed by a multilingual choir and folk percussion instruments
Jesse shares the lead vocals with Lidia Carlos Reynes on most tracks, accompanied by the Vast Assembly Singers, a large multilingual choir. The music also features impressive array of folk percussion instruments, which adds to the earthy, international flavor: rain sticks, chajchas, blocks, caixixi, kjembe, ganza, doumbek, finger cymbals, tambourine and others.

Includes helpful pronunciation guide
Besides the Mass setting and five multi-purpose songs, the recording includes a helpful pronunciation guide. Word by word, Jesse slowly and carefully explains and models the correct pronunciation for many of the foreign terms. With this practical assistance, the inspiring, unifying music of Misa del Mundo can be used and enjoyed by any faith community.

A mix of fun and funky, smooth and slow, this eight-song CD offers music for liturgy that spans the gamut from gentle guitar-based ballad and choral praise anthem to hard-rocking indie pop.

This 15-song CD by Jesse Manibusan features a mix of reggae, rap, rock and contemporary tracks for the liturgy.

This 13-song CD by Ken Canedo and Jesse Manibusan features music addressing social justice, conversion and other themes such as relationships with God, parents, friends and the world around us.

A delightful musical expression of true Marian devotion, this collection from Jesse Manibusan offers songs that honor Mary as the Mother of God and also—and essentially—the First Disciple of Christ. Working closely with acclaimed Catholic composer and musician Tom Booth on the songwriting and producing, Jesse brings us 11 songs in a range of musical styles that vary from soft and reflective to a full-out band sound.

Offering inspired music for Marian feast days, May crownings and the like, this collection can also serve as a general resource for catechesis on Mary. The enchanting "Ave Maria" and "Ave Maria Litany" both honor the many experiences, titles and cultural connections of Mary, paying homage to other countries and how they refer to her.

In "Mary—Memories and Reflections" Jesse opens up about his experience of Marian devotion and how he came to develop such a special relationship with Mary. Spontaneously composed and recorded as they tracked the collection in the studio, "Shining like the Sun" is an inspired instrumental song from Carl Hergesell, who joins the list of other renowned collaborators, including Steve Angrisano, Sarah Hart and Eric Webster.

For those who already have a relationship with Mary or anyone who simply wants to know more about our Blessed Mother, Sing of Mary is a joy from one of today's most relatable contemporary composers.

Inspired by encounter with his own humanity
Life You're Living is a musical testament to how we should live as Christians. Inspired by an encounter with his own humanity, the songs remind us that despite our individual brokenness, we're constantly surrounded by family, friends and a larger community of faith, all bound together in our common need for God.

Features songs co-written with Sarah Hart, Bob Halligan Jr and Matt Maher
Renowned producer Jeff Thomas expertly matches the right arrangements to the one voice he's been wanting to get ahold of: Jesse's. Featuring songs co-written with Sarah Hart, Bob Halligan Jr (Ceili Rain) and Matt Maher, Life You're Living is packed with liturgically sound praise and worship titles.

Draws listeners in to lose themselves in simple prayer
Adding instrumentation layer by layer, "Bread of Heaven" dynamically builds into a moving plea to God. "Falling Into You" sports a head-bobbing groove and harmonies from Audrey Assad that just seem to cling to Jesse's lead vocal. Sarah Hart joins Jesse on "Give Us Your Peace," drawing listeners in to lose themselves in simple prayer. "Shelter" is a joyful jam. And the inspiring "How We Talk About It" challenges us to display "a love that lives in our actions, not just how we talk about it."

New recordings of "Glory to God Most High" and "Open My Eyes"
Life You're Living features new recordings of two songs familiar to longtime fans of Jesse's music. "Glory to God Most High" gets updated with bluesy guitar riffs and extended versions of verses two and three that breathe new life into a soulful classic. Warmly wrapped in the full string arrangement the song has been aching for, "Open My Eyes" will also open listeners' ears... as if they're hearing this familiar favorite for the first time.

Showcases Jesse's ability to inspire through song
What prolific composers such as Dan Schutte, Bob Hurd and Christopher Walker have been doing for years, Jesse Manibusan is beginning to do for a new generation of worshipers: provide a defining library of songs with staying power. Relevant, refreshing and real, Life You're Living is a record that showcases Jesse's ability to inspire through song.

This is the MP3 playlist for Mass for Our Lady of Light, a new Mass setting by Jesse Manibusan and Remi Fonseca Bauer.

This crossover style Mass setting will appeal to both contemporary and traditional worshiping communities, meeting the needs of a variety of assemblies. By adding percussion and guitar, it can be a lively Mass for a contemporary ensemble. Or try it with bells and wind instruments to create a more majestic sound. With parts for the entire liturgy, and both a refrain version and through-composed version of the Glory to God, it is thorough and is sure to prove a welcome addition to any parish's repertoire.

By naming the Mass for the Blessed Mother, the composers' hope is not only to honor her but to convey a sense of joy, comfort and celebration to those present in the liturgies where it is sung.

The four sample tracks in this MP3 album will guide pastoral musicians and choirs in the tempos and uplifting feel of this dynamic new Mass setting.
