Corpus Christi

Comfort and Joy   A Celebration of Advent and Christmas at Corpus Christi University Parish        In 2006, the Contemporary Music Group recorded a series of Advent and Christmas music.  This CD, Comfort and Joy, ranges in style from medieval to contemporary.  All of the pieces on this recording were arranged by CCUP Director of Music Ministry Luke D. Rosen over the course of seven years, and each was arranged specifically for the Corpus Christi Contemporary Music Group.   Click on the title for a sampling of this recording: O Heiland Reiss, Die Himmel Auf On Jordan's Banks O Come O Come Emmanuel Comfort, Comfort, Ye My People O Come, Divine Messiah Angels We Have Heard On High Carol Of The Bells God Rest You Merry Gentlemen Nowell Away In A Manger Coventry Carol Bring A Torch, Jeanette Isabella Hark The Herald Angels Sing Noël Nouvelet O Come All Ye Faithful Silent Night Joy To The World

Stations of the Cross: Prayer in Music   Music by Luke D. Rosen Prayers and Reflections by Brian Tittl and Joyce Lehman, CPPS Poetry by Sue Dwyer        In 2002, the Contemporary Music Group performed an original work based on the fourteen Stations of the Cross. Music, prayer, dance, digital effects, and special lighting all came together for a powerful religious experience. It has become a Corpus Christi tradition to present this work every Good Friday.      The music, a conglomeration of styles threaded together by the repetition of themes, brings together voices, flutes, violin, brass, guitars, and piano. Each Station is prefaced by a narration explaining the episode on the way to the cross, plus offering reflection on what the story might mean in our own lives.   Click on the title for a sampling of this recording: Station I - Jesus Is Condemned To Death Station II - Jesus Carries His Cross Station III - Jesus Falls The First Time Station IV - Jesus Meets His Mother Mary Station V - Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus Carry His Cross Station VI - Veronica Wipes The Face Of Jesus Station VII - Jesus Falls The Second Time Station VIII - Jesus Meets The Women Of Jerusalem Station IX - Jesus Falls The Third Time Station X - Jesus Is Stripped Of His Garments Station XI - Jesus Is Nailed To The Cross Station XII - Jesus Dies On The Cross Station XIII - Jesus Is Placed In His Mother's Arms Station XIV - Jesus Is Placed In The Tomb
