Every Knee Shall Bend

Every Knee Shall Bend
Music for Advent and Christmas
Directed by David Cinquegrani, C.P.
With Alex Belair and Elizabeth Husmer
The Passionist Community of priests, brothers, sisters and lay persons has produced its second recording of sacred music, after an extremely positive response to its first recording, Love Casts Out Fear. The new recording, entitled Every Knee Shall Bend, contains a variety of Advent and Christmas music ranging from Gregorian Chant and newly arranged traditional carols, to contemporary works in styles taken from many traditions and cultures. Over fifty participants from the Passionist Community, many of whom are professional musicians, collaborated on this project, which was recorded in one intensive week in July 1997 at Holy Family Retreat Center in West Hartford, Connecticut. You will find the result of this endeavor to be a powerful, moving and diverse collection of Advent and Christmas music.
