I’m back to looking at Marty Haugen songs in Gather Comprehensive not already covered on this blog.
This one is his setting of Ruth Duck’s marvellous text, which fits with the fishermen songs I’ve done this week as a call to mission. She wrote this text for the ordination of her long-time friend Elizabeth Caldwell. It is also set to REGENT SQUARE.
Haugen’s music can be purchased at GIA, where her text is in their preview.
My backing came out country on BIAB.
This is another call to mission with the fishing motif from last week’s gospel that Ryan heard at mass last week.
This is a challenging text by Sylvia Dunstan set to AURELIA by Samuel Sebastian Wesley. The tune is also known for its use with “The Church’s One Foundation”.
The text is here.
GIA only seem to have a handbell version to sell if you don’t have Gather Comprehensive but the tune is public domain and available at Hymnary.
I am digressing from my Haugenfest to look at songs for fishermen that turned up in a liturgy Ryan attended last Sunday. They went all out with three of them to flog the gospel, two of which I was unaware.
This is a Sea of Galilee shanty by Suzanne Toolan and as Ryan commented goes at a fair clip and is laudably direct and narrative in scope with a broadening of the call to us all. I fear it will be slowed down and drag a bit without care.
Godsongs has some commentary on the song here. It also has an entry at the History of Hymns.
You can find the text here and the sheet music can be purchased at sheetmusicplus. GIA only seemed to be selling handbell music, which would be wild.
Marty Haugen based this sweet song on Luke 12:22-34.
The text is here.
The sheet music can be purchased at GIA.
Entrance: God has Chosen Me (Farrell) AOV 1/21
Psalm 1 (McKenna)
Happy are they who hope in the Lord.
Happy are they! Happy are they!
Gifts: Blessed Be Our God (McKenna) AOV NG 13
Communion: Bread of Life (Farrell) AOV 1/164
Thanksgiving: The Beatitudes (Kearney) CWB II 456
Recessional: A New Heart for a New World (O’Brien/Watts) AOV 1/158
I’m surprised at how many Marty Haugen songs I’m finding in Gather Comprehensive that are new to me, but then he has been rather prolific.
This is a bright gathering and communion song that says it is call and response for a cantor and assembly but there’s no reason why the assembly couldn’t handle it all.
The sheet music can be purchased at GIA, where the text is in their preview.
GC has six verses and you repeat the refrain the last time. I didn’t do that in my backing, I just went straight to the coda. I figure if you got through all six verses, repeating the refrain might be a capital offence.
There are Marty Haugen songs in Gather Comprehensive that I have never come across before and I am blogging them now.
This one has an obvious application when readings from Romans 8 come up.
The verses have enough variation that a cantor is likely a must but the refrain is a peach for the assembly.
This is a Marty Haugen tune setting a devastating Brian Wren text for any time but especially Holy Week.
The text is at Hope Publishing.
Haugen’s setting can be purchased at GIA.
I’m back looking at Marty Haugen songs from Gather Comprehensive that I have yet to blog from other sources.
This is a powerful song of lament with a text by Haugen and set to PASSION CHORALE by Hans Leo Hassler (C16).
The tune was used in folk music and eventually became part of another lament, Paul Simon’s “American Tune”.
The text is in the sample at GIA where you can purchase the sheet music.
I got the BIAB file from Small Church Music and edited it and changed it to my taste.
Just so you know this is what the music file from Small Church Music sounds like with his introduction and breaks between verses.
This song isn’t by Marty Haugen. It is a St Louis Jesuit song from the 70s used at Ryan’s church recently that I hadn’t come across before. This is by John Foley and is a rare OCP copyright in a GIA book Gather Comprehensive.
It is singable song with a lilt to recommend it.
The text is at Cantus Mundi.
The sheet music can be purchased at OCP.
