I have got through quite a lot of the additions to Breaking Bread for 2018 now.
This bilingual song for Gifts or Communion is by Santiago Fernández and Jesse Manibusan. The lines alternate from English to Spanish and with the repetition in the chorus and only one line of Spanish that is common to all the verses, it is designed to be non threatening to those of us who speak no Spanish.
The text is at OCP in their preview and they can sell you the sheet music.
I made a BIAB backing that you can sing along to.
This song by Jackie François was added to Breaking Bread by OCP in 2018. It has an Easter flavour and is an obvious choice for Baptism and RCIA. It is a slowish 6/8 tune that is meant to build.
The text is in the preview at OCP where they will sell you the sheet music.
This is Rick Modlin’s setting of Psalm 148 that was added to Breaking Bread in 2018. The assembly sings the refrain and the cantor chants the verses. I might not have touched this but the recording is very nice indeed, especially once the choir starts chanting in harmony and sings over the last refrain. I only made a backing for the refrain though.
OCP will sell you the sheet music and the text is in their preview.
Ricky Manalo was inspired by Pope Francis’s book for this hymn chosen for Breaking Bread in 2018 by OCP. Not surprisingly the text highlights environmental and social justice issues. The refrain shifts from 3/4 to 2/4 time and back again, and the key changes in the verses. Interesting.
You can purchase the sheet music at OCP , where you will find the text in their preview.
This song of discipleship has a text by Kate Bluett and is set by Kevin Keil. I left the American misspelling of Saviour alone. It has the flavour of traditional American music.
You can see the words in the preview at OCP who will happily sell you the sheet music.
The selections from OCP for Breaking Bread in 2018 included this song by Ben Walther and Sarah Hart. The text lends itself to many liturgical uses including Gifts and Eucharist. It also has elements that suit Christmas.
The tune has a reasonable range but could still come down from D to C if needed.
OCP sell the sheet music and provide the text in their preview. Judging from the number of You Tube clips it has been well received.
