Cantos para “Tiempos Fuertes”
This, the 25th collection from prolific Spanish composer Carmelo Erdozáin, offers ten songs for the various seasons throughout the liturgical year. These include three songs for Advent, three for Christmas, one for Lent, one for Easter, one for Pentecost and one eucharistic song.
"Nada Te Turbe," based on the lovely poem by Saint Teresa of Avila, was composed in celebration of the fifth centennial anniversary of the saint's birth. It is a beautiful rendition with a simple melody, perfect for any assembly. The eucharistic song, "En Memoria Tuya," composed by Cuban Toni Rubi, features a beautiful melody and lyrics based on Scripture as well as a refrain that can be sung in canon.
Along with these 10 songs, the CD also contains instrumental versions of seven of the songs. These can accompany prayer or aid in learning. The convenient songbook provides four-part voicing, solfège chords and lyrics and makes learning and singing these songs simple and easy.
