 Expert recording of some of the most beautiful music Dec 02, 1999
By Raymond E. Conrad
This CD and Volume 2 remind me of the Church and the happy times when I was a child. All those that I loved and loved me were alive. Sometimes I pray for my father or grandparents with "I am the Bread of Life" playing in the background. It always makes me cry, but I know that they are with the Lord. The refrain "I will raise you up on the last day" brings tears to my eyes even as I write this review. I am using this type of classic music to instruct my kids in the Catholic Tradition. We also discuss other hymns which have significant theological content such as "One Bread One Body." That one is not yet recorded. I hope the producer will fill in with some of these. I have mentioned to my children that if their friends of other religions ask what being a Christian in the Catholic Tradition is all about to explain the words in "One Bread One Body."

Lovely and Uplifting! Nov 04, 1999
By C. Adams
"American Citizen"
These are some of the most beautiful songs on one cd ever. I get tears almost every time I listen to "You Are Near", and that's quite often! Wonderful, soaring voices-nothing jazzed up or "cute". Listen to this cd and find your spirit uplifted every time!

 very ethereal - a solemn, not joyful, song of praise Apr 26, 1999
(Yahweh, I Know) You Are Near is a beautiful song of praise based on Psalm 139. This version by a women's choral group, is very solemn, almost ethereal sounding with organ background. Would perhaps prefer to hear the song performed in an uptempo folk beat, with guitar accompaniment. The song certainly does lend itself lyrically to a more joyful expression of praise.

Beautiful Voices Singing Beautiful Songs Sep 21, 2003
By Amy Zielke
This choir is awesome, such beautiful voices. I have been listening to it on my commute to/from work and it is unbelievably calming, something I desperately need to endure the commute and before/after work. I get "holy chills" listening to these pieces, especially "Blest Are They" and "I Am The Bread of Life."

Best Catholic DVD I've ever heard Sep 26, 2007
By Veronica Redmond
I love this Classic! I listen to it daily and found it to contain just a little bit of the very best of Catholic Music. Now if we could only get our music department at the church to include these in our Sunday masses, everyone would win!
