Performed by the Franciscans of the Immaculate & Friends
General Description:
Cantate Mariae (Latin for "Sing to Mary") is an inspiring collection of Marian hymns varying from Gregorian chant, to a lively Mexican style, to an Irish flavor with fiddle. The songs are set to classical guitar, strings, and vocal harmonies by members of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate and friends of their community. Their desire is to give fitting honor to the Immaculate Virgin Mary for her maternal mediation on behalf of poor sinners. Our lady, the humble handmaid, said, "Behold, henceforth all generations will call me blessed." And Our Divine Lord continues to say to all who seek to be His beloved disciples, "Behold, Thy Mother."
