“I Will Not Be Afraid” from Joseph, Guardian of the Redeemer: A One-Man Cantata.
Saint Joseph faces a future he never expected. Confused and wounded by news he cannot understand, he receives the words that will change everything: Do not be afraid.
This dramatic sacred solo follows Joseph from uncertainty into faith as he chooses to trust God and accept the extraordinary calling placed before him.
Chorus
Saint Joseph, who is the carpenter from Jerusalem, Israel
The humble fatherhood of Jesus Christ in Nazareth
For many generations of the Holy Family
Forth the Lord, Jesus Christ, is delivered into the human family
Was a preparation for generations to come.
Verse
For 14 generations from the Abraham generations to David
For another 14 generations from the Babylonian exile
In addition to 14 generations from the Babylonian exile to Jesus Christ’s generations
A hope of a son who was born into the world for the light of God
A shiny star that changed the history of the human family.
I’m the creator behind Sancteo, a Catholic music and video project. I’d like to discover other members’ music, exchange ideas, and share my own projects for feedback. I use AI-generated music and some AI-generated visuals, and I’m transparent about this in presenting my work
I'm working on a Mass Ordinary setting and would appreciate feedback from other users of this platform on a particular issue I am facing as it comes together. I would also like to discuss some of my favorite Mass settings and hymns I have heard over the course of my lifetime
My recent contemporary arrangement of Sebastian Temple’s classic 1960s hymn, "Happy the Man," has reached the Number 1 position on the New Age Notes music charts. I would like to share my story with you.
As a music director/organist, I am always looking for additional sources for new, old, and forgotten hymns and other music. This resource would also be an excellent way to broaden my view of hymnody through history, hymnals, composers, sources, etc. I look forward to new discoveries!
I sing @ St. Vincent in Menifee & St. Peter's in Fallbrook. I am seeking musicians to form a band. I live in Menifee, so local guitarist, keyboards, & female vocals are sought. Dedicated only, & disciplined to practice alone & with group, weekly.
As a young Catholic who adores hymns, I would like to become more aware of those I haven’t heard before. I’m also looking for a space to help identify songs I’d heard once but lost to my memory
Engagée dans la diffusion de la musique catholique, je cherche à partager des chants pour contribuer à l’œuvre d’évangélisation selon mes humbles moyens. Que Dieu veille sur chacun de nous !
I've written a Mass setting, got it approved by the USCCB, several psalm settings, and a couple years of gospel acclamation verses. Looking for a place to publish my works.
