Praying the Rosary with St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori

The first Rosary CD to feature the music of a saint has been released by the Redemptorists of the Denver Province entitled, Praying the Rosary with St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori. The 2-CD set is dedicated to Our Mother of Perpetual Help, the name by which the Redemptorists make the Blessed Mother known throughout the world, as stipulated by Pope Pius IX in 1866. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of this CD will be used to fund the work of the Redemptorist missions in Brazil and Nigeria. 

Original music composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696-1787), founder of the Redemptorists, is played during the reading of the Rosary and the twenty meditations, also by St. Alphonsus. A majority of the meditations are taken from his great spiritual masterpiece, The Glories of Mary.

This CD set features the first time the music of St. Alphonsus will be heard and certainly the first time in English.

Produced and arranged by Little Lamb Music, St. Alphonsus words and hymns are performed and sung by Award winning artist, Ray Herrmann, members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Master Chorale, and the Padre Serra Children's Choir. Rev. Peter Schavitz, C.Ss.R. leads the listeners in the Rosary.

CD 1 features 15 tracks and CD 2 features 14 tracks.
