Beatitude Mass
author: A. Porter
This piece of music is glorious. The recording helped get an idea of what to expect for a concert being performed at the Basilica in DC to benefit S.O.M.E. (So Others Might Eat) on July 1st. It was a nice addition to have the Brahms Requiem added.

Mollicone's Beatitude Mass
author: Linda Parker
Wonderful to get this. Our group, The Georgetown Chorale, is rehearsing this mass for a May performance, and the cd makes learning this challenging work much easier.

Feeling of hope come through lyrics with reverence and elan
author: Walter Roach
Juxtaposition of lyrics poignantly expressing hope for homeless with Latin text is reverently awesome. The full orchestra sound supports the majesty and poignancy of the full chorus with incredible soloist interpretation adding to its reverence. I need one for the car as well as at home.

Great recording of a meaningful work.
author: Sonja Cook
I sang in the chorus for this full orchestral recording. It was a very fulfilling experience to be part of the telling of the story of two homeless people. It unfolds naturally and poignantly, with the choir and soloists interleaving, creating a conversation. The Latin movements allow for reflection. The soloists sing their part with deep feeling while the orchestra and choir comfort and caress them with musical compassion and skill.
