Bless This Church / Bendice Esta Iglesia - Choral edition Music for the Dedication Rites / Música para los Ritos de Dedicación 4-Part - Sheet Music

SKU: GI.G-6002C

It's true that most pastoral musicians never face the challenge of choosing music for the Rite of Dedication of a Church. For those who do, this can be a once-in-a-lifetime event! Specific music is required and the assembly must be educated and prepared for this blessed occasion. In David Kauffman's collection Bless This Church, the same melodic line graces each of the six different texts (each in English and in Spanish) used for the rites of dedication. The repetitive, wonderfully singable tune serves the assembly well, making it easy for the congregation to fully participate in this unique event. Use all six pieces or just one. Assembly reprint boxes in Spanish and in English are included in the music collection. Each and every parish dedicating a new space needs to consider this practical and inspired collection!
