2009 - The Album ALMA MATER (featuring the voice of POPE BENEDICT XVI)

La fede è amore e perciò crea poesia e crea musica. La fede è gioia, perciò crea bellezza.

Le cattedrali non sono monumenti medioevali, ma case di vita, dove ci sentiamo “a casa”; incontriamo Dio e ci incontriamo uno l’altra.

La grande musica, il gregoriano, o Bach o Mozart,nella chiesa non sono cose del passato, ma vivono della vitalità della liturgia e della nostra fede.

Se la fede è viva, la cultura cristiana non diventa “passato”, ma rimane viva e presente.

E se la fede è viva, anche oggi possiamo rispondere all’imperativo che si ripete sempre di nuovo nei Salmi “Cantate al Signore un cantico nuovo !”

Auxilium Christianorum featuring the voice of POPE BENEDICT XVI


Quando si recita il Rosario si rivivono i momenti importanti e significativi della storia della salvezza; si ripercorrono le varie tappe della missione di Cristo.

Con Maria si orienta il cuore al mistero di Gesù. Si mette Cristo al centro della nostra vita, del nostro tempo, delle nostre città, mediante la contemplazione e la meditazione dei suoi santi misteri di gioia, di luce, di dolore e di gloria

Ci aiuti Maria ad accogliere in noi la grazia che promana da questi misteri, affinché attraverso di noi possa “irrigare” la società, a partire dalle relazioni quotidiane, e purificarla da tante forze negative aprendola alla novità di Dio.

Causa Nostrae Laetitiae (featuring the voice of POPE BENEDICT XVI)  


"Piena di grazia" Tu sei, Maria, che accogliendo con il tuo "sì" i progetti del Creatore, ci hai aperto la strada della salvezza. Alla tua scuola, insegnaci a pronunciare anche noi il nostro "sì" alla volontà del Signore. Un "sì" che si unisce al tuo "sì" senza riserve e senza ombre, di cui il Padre celeste ha voluto aver bisogno per generare l’Uomo nuovo, il Cristo, unico Salvatore del mondo e della storia. Dacci il coraggio di dire "no" agli inganni del potere, del denaro, del piacere; ai guadagni disonesti, alla corruzione e all’ipocrisia, all’egoismo e alla violenza. "No" al Maligno, principe ingannatore di questo mondo. "Sì" a Cristo, che distrugge la potenza del male con l’onnipotenza dell’amore. Noi sappiamo che solo cuori convertiti all’Amore, che è Dio, possono costruire un futuro migliore per tutti.

Product Description

Alma Mater is a stirring and highly emotional collection of eight original pieces of modern classical music. The release is a true event, marking the very first time that the Voice of Pope Benedict XVI has been captured on disc, speaking and singing in Latin, Italian, Portuguese, French and German, thanks to the audio recordings of Vatican Radio. Proceeds from the album sales will be used to provide music education for underprivileged children around the world.

The album will feature His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, reciting and singing passages and prayers, accompanied by The Choir of the Philharmonic Academy of Rome, conducted by Monsignor Pablo Colino, Maestro Emeritus of St. Peter's Basilica and recorded in St Peter's Basilica. The world famous Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plays on all of the specially commissioned contemporary tracks, and was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road studios in London.

Simon Boswell, Stefano Mainetti and Nour Eddine are the three contemporary composers who have contributed the eight specially commissioned pieces of music for Alma Mater. Vincent Messina, producer of Alma Mater, commented, "These three composers are world class and my first choices for the album. A happy co-incidence is that Stefano is Catholic, Simon is `undeclared' and Nour Eddine is Muslim, thus perfectly representing our aim to produce an album that has universal appeal to all of those who love beautiful music." Collectively, the trio of writers boasts an impressive resume of film scores, TV series and stage productions from around the world.

From the Artist

 "I am convinced that music really is the universal language of beauty which can bring together all people of good will on earth" - Pope Benedict XVI

Melinda Dumitrescu - O, Regina Păcii de la Medjugorjie (Reșița, Romania)

After having completed her studies at the Music Academy in Lübeck (Germany) as a student of Prof. Zachar Bronn, Melinda Dumitrescu decided to come to Medjugorje and to stay here at the service of pilgrims. Her coming to Medjugorje is a consequence of her faith in Our Lady’s apparitions and of her encounter with Fr. Slavko Barbaric.

Hallelu Et Adonai PWilbur --- LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD !

. LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD !

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
