Last night I attended a workshop sponsored by GIA Publications to highlight their new hymnal offerings. Some parishes will be looking for new hymnals as we introduce the new translation of the Roman Missal.
GIA will be publishing four different hymnals:
Worship (Fourth Edition) which they describe as "a comprehensive hymnal, somewhat in the style of GIA's RitualSong, a substantial compliation of the finest organ-based hymnody (approximately 80%) with the best-loved piano/guitar-based music (20%). A new feature will be the Hymn of the Day calendar to match noe or two hymns to the gospel reading for each Sunday of the Lectionary cycle."
Gather (Third Edition) is "a hymnal in the style of Gather Comprehensive with a versitile bled of 70% piano/guitar-based titles and 30% organ-based titles." They note this is "Gather-Comprehensive" - third edition though they will no longer use the term "comprehensive" in the title.
Oramus Cantando/We Pray in Song is designed "for the growing number of Latino-Anglo parishes. . .[it] is an entirely bilingual hymnal that is comprenesive enough to satisfy both Spanish- and English-speaking communities -- individually or in combined worship."
Lead Me, Guide Me contains "the full breadth of African American church music that is suitable for Catholic worship, along with a broader mix of common Catholic reertoire."
