| | Description | Here's a CD for everyone who has been waiting for Fr. Stan to sing the great hymns of our Catholic faith. Featuring a variety of musical styles, Fr. Stan adds his inspirational and tasteful arrangements to these all time favorites with a few awesome surprises. This CD features the incredible Celtic sounds of the high and low whistles and ullian pipes played by Jerry O'Sullivan. Fr. Stan is also accompanied by Marianne Mastropolo on piano, Pete Scatt on drums, Daniel diSilva on various percussions, Joe Stelluti on soprano saxophone and Dr. Phil Mango on trumpet. The result is a full range of moods and styles: classical jazz, Celtic, folk, latin jazz, world beat, rap, orchestral and contemporary. The listener will be blessed with a fresh and refreshing musical experience rooted in the depth and beauty of Catholic tradition, disposing one to prayer and peace. It is a "must have" for those who seek Christ through the inspiring sound of music and find comfort in the traditional lyrics of our Christian heritage. In the words of Fr. Stan, "PRAY, PRAY, PRAY my sisters and brothers that this album touches the hearts and souls of all those in need of Christ's healing comfort and love. And that it all may be for the glory and praise of our Lord, Jesus Christ." |  |

Just Okay Oct 28, 2004 The title is misleading, the songs are hardly what most would consider traditional. While I did enjoy a few of the selections most were almost unrecognizable. Maybe a better title would have been Innovations on Traditional Catholic Hymns.

"Traditional Catholic Hymns"? Aug 22, 2002 Why is this "Traditional" CD full of songs produced in the last 40 years? (a mere second in the life of the Church, young grasshopper ;-) ) Frankly, liturgical music has been has been in a pretty sorry state for the last few decades. "On Eagle's Wings" isn't as theologically dubious as some of the other songs I've suffered through at Mass, but the words aren't exactly INSPIRED, and the melody sounds like a rather unsubtle score for a melodramatic moment in a movie. And why make the situation worse by rendering songs in jazz and rap styles, among others? It MATTERS what style music is played in, and twisting music like this just for the sake of novelty is not nessesarily good for worship. What's next, "Death Metal Mass, to be sung by KISS"? Anyway, I'm kinda sad they didn't put "Faith of Our Fathers" or "Holy God We Praise Thy Name" on here... Not to mention the Tantum Ergo, Pange Lingua, Vexilla Regis, etc. Sigh...

Fr. Stan; simply awesome. Nov 23, 2001 I was first treated to Fr. Stan when I volunteered to chaperone youth from our parish to a "Steubenville East" weekend retreat. Each time he spoke or performed, it plainly came directly from his heart. This young man is a refreshing messenger from God in this age, delivering His message in a form that young people are ready to hear. If his rendition of "On Eagles' Wings" doesn't elevate your spirit completely, have someone check your pulse! It probably isn't there...

A trip down memory aisle Sep 25, 2001 Fr. Stan does a wonderful job of keeping traditional Catholic hymns alive. I don't hear many of these songs as much as I used to at Mass. This is unfortunate since this has been a hidden foundation of good orthodox theology during a time of confusion. Teachers can introduce odd teachings but when we hear these songs, we hear the clear truth. The recording quality is high and Fr. Stan has a wonderful voice. I almost feel as if I am back at my old parish back when churches looked like churches and had the acoustics to make a good singer sound like an angel. Yet there is more to this recording. There is a modern tone through out the recordings. The mix of traditional and modern are done just as they should be with hymns, reverently. This is a great CD!! I hope Fr. Stan will come out with "More Traditional Catholic Hymns".

Better title:"UNtraditional hymns" Apr 19, 2001 The title for this album is very misleading. A majority of the songs aren't even traditional catholic hymns. The musical arrangements make the music sound New-Agey and cutesy.
