John Michael Talbot

Table of Plenty is a musical celebration of God's blessings. John Michael's evocative arrangements incorporate the acoustic guitar, bass guitar, piano, percussion, and his own gentle vocals to faithfully express the vision of composers like Bob Dufford, John Foley, Dan Schutte, Bob Hurd, and Michael Joncas.

"No one bridges the two worlds of Catholic liturgical music and contemporary Christian music like John Michael Talbot. This recording will bring the beauty of the Mass, and the new translation of the Roman Missal, to many ears and hearts."
—John Limb, Publisher, OCP

This 14-song CD by John Michael Talbot features John Michael's best-known songs for the liturgy, including settings for Christmas, Easter, responsorial psalms, Communion songs and music for personal prayer and study.

The long-awaited sequel to his best-selling Table of Plenty!
Anchored by the title track -- Dan Schuttes classic based on Isaiah 9:60 -- this beautifully recorded compilation features 12 of the most popular songs for worship written in the last 30 years.

Classic songs that sound better than ever
Newly arranged for this project and enhanced with key modulations, expansive pop and classical vocal overlays, and intricate acoustic and electric guitar accompaniment, these songs sound better than ever. Highlights include Bernadette Farrells God beyond All Names, Bob Duffords Sing to the Mountains, and Tom Booths Here I Am.

Featuring outstanding studio musicians
John Michael and his fellow musicians clearly had fun with this project. I always enjoy pulling out the steel string, John Michael commented, to add to my more traditional classical playing. I thoroughly enjoyed using the vintage electric guitars myself, and calling in some of the finest session players as well. Veteran orchestrator and producer Phil Perkins contributed lush orchestral arrangements.

"It was a pleasure and an honor to set these songs to music"
Through all this we hope that we have worked together to produce a rich project that will reach meaningfully into the hearts of those who heard these songs at important points in their spiritual journey, adds John Michael. City of God contains songs with this timeless quality. It was a pleasure and an honor to set these songs to music. And it is our pleasure to hear them.

This is the MP3 playlist for Mass of Rebirth, a new Mass setting by John Michael Talbot.

It is for listening and can be used for getting a sense of the style of his Mass setting. (The print versions provided by OCP do not match the recording exactly. They were created to be accessible for liturgical musicians, and the texts conform precisely to the Roman Missal, Third Edition.)

Honor the ancient heritage of the Church
Combining modes and harmonies from both the Eastern and Latin Rites, this contemporary chant setting honors Pope John Paul II's call to breath from "the Eastern and Western lungs of the body of Christ."

Enrich daily Mass and holy days
Equally reverent when sung in unison or with choir, Mass of Rebirth gives parishes a flexible and accessible way to celebrate the liturgy at daily Mass, as well as Sundays and holy days throughout the year.

This is the MP3 playlist for Worship and Bow Down.
