As it happens, between posting the question and reading this I did find a sample copy on the net as a ‘full score’ version. It seems it is available from Willow (AOV).

….so I shall chase it up. Thanks Peta

G’day Peta

I have only heard the snippet at AOV and commented in my blog posting that is was not the tune for AOV 2/66.

I don’t have CDs but from your note it appears the same error has occurred in them.

I had another listen to the snippet at AOV but can’t place it. I’ve often found that composers have more than one version of a Psalm setting floating around.

My best advice is to get in touch with Monica O’Brien at Willow and ask her. I’m sure she would be delighted to point you to where the music can be purchased.

good luck

You seem to be somewhat of an expert on Catholic Church music. I have had and used As One Voice Vol 1, 2 and for Kids and lately Next Gen in both my Parish and Catholic schools I have taught in.

I have both the books and CD’s. The music for ‘The Lord is Kind and Merciful’ in Vol 2 is totally different to the recording and while I like Jeanne Cotter’s version, I would love to obtain the music for the recording version. Although I’ve trawled the net for years, I’ve never been able to find who the recording is by, thus being unable to track down any music. I am quite adept at playing and writing music by ear but would prefer to do the right thing and buy the correct music if possible.

How strange that Willow, when they published it, didn’t bother to match the written music to the recording.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated…I must be the first person in Australia that wants to find it.

Cheers
