The songs on Father Jabusch's latest collection move from the Annunciation to the passion and resurrection of the Lord. Designed for use primarily during Lent, they are perfect for CCD and RCIA classes, prayer groups, liturgies throughout the year, retreats, evangelization, and as background for reflection, prayer and personal devotions.

All the faithful will find in these beautifully crafted hymns help toward turning their hearts to God and thanking him for the gift of Jesus.

This is Father Jabusch's first Marian collection. Gathering 18 songs dedicated to the mother of Jesus from cultures around the world, Stainless the Maiden employs the easy-to-sing folk styles of Mexico, Ireland, Lebanon, Poland, Spain and Germany. Designed for use in liturgical celebrations on Marian feasts, the music is also perfectly suited for personal devotion and private prayer. The title song, "Stainless the Maiden," is an English version of what is said to be Pope John Paul's favorite hymn. Very popular in Poland, it is considered by some to be a second national anthem there.

Father Jabusch composes music for those who are ready to be challenged by the burning words of both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures in lively English translations. Some texts are also based on the words of St. Teresa of Avila and St. Francis of Assisi. In all of Father Jabusch's compositions, text is the focus, while the melody supports and expresses the words.

Look for the Lord is suitable for parish assemblies, students and prayer groups, and the music is accessible to musicians who have limited instrumental resources. If you have a keyboard, and possibly a flute and a bit of light percussion, you can beautifully render the 24 songs in this collection.
