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.
