With psalms for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Palm Sunday, the Easter season, Ordinary Time and more, Lourdes Montgomery’s first fully bilingual collection covers much of the liturgical year. Despite the many challenges of composing bilingual responsorial psalm settings, Lourdes has expertly succeeded in combining sacred texts with superb musical arrangements to create a beautiful collection that will inspire bilingual assemblies for years to come.

From salsa rhythms and a joyous paso doble-style piece to rock-influenced sounds and more, this one-of-a-kind collection showcases a multitude of styles that demonstrate Lourdes’ extensive musical repertoire. The energetic and captivating title track, “Psalm 113: Blessed Be the Name of the Lord/Salmo 113 (112): Bendito Sea el Nombre del Señor,” fuses classical and rock elements to create a powerful sound that keeps listeners engaged, while one of the slower pieces on the collection, “Psalm 22: My God, My God/Salmo 22 (21) Dios Mío, Dios Mío,” starts softly with piano, then introduces strings and a strong solo male voice before culminating with the full choir and instrumentation, exquisitely capturing the essence of the Good Friday celebration.
