18 Cantos para Cuaresma Semana Santa y Pascua
by Fr. Carmelo Erdozáin

Celebrate Lent, Holy Week and Easter with 18 specially selected Spanish songs from Father Carmelo Erdozáin.

Recorded in Spain, 18 Cantos para Cuaresma Semana Santa y Pascua from Father Carmelo Erdozáin brings together Spanish songs for Lent, Holy Week and Easter—six songs for each seasonal period. The songs on this compilation album were specially selected for lyrics that reflect the richness of the Lenten and Easter Scriptures as well as their solemn and festive melodies.

Favorites include "Hoy Vuelvo de Lejos," based on the parable of the prodigal son, and "En la Mañana de Resurrección," drawn from the rich images of the Easter Sequence. On the whole, this collection draws its listeners deeper into experiencing these holy seasons, from preparing hearts in the time of Lent and journeying through the Lord's Passion during Holy Week to celebrating his resurrection throughout Easter.

Bio:
With more than 25 collections to his credit, Father Carmelo Erdozáin is one of the most prolific composers in the Hispanic world. He was born in Aibar, a town in the Navarre province of Spain. Music was part of his family life from the very beginning. He was ordained a priest at the age of 23. Erdozáin holds degrees in composition and organ and is a professor at the music conservatory in Pamplona. He also studied religious music at the Pontificate Institute of Rome, where he obtained a degree in Gregorian chant and a master’s in musicology. He has given 50 years of service to the Church.

More than 40 of his compositions are included in the first edition of OCP’s Flor y Canto. He writes music that combines ear-pleasing melodies with heart-changing lyrics. His texts speak of Christ’s banquet, of the manna that awaits us in heaven, of the delicious bread from the wheat fields. His most recent collection is Canciones Selectas de Carmelo Erdozáin.

A popular speaker, Father Erdozáin has taught classes and has given workshops on liturgical music in Spain, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.

He is the vicar at St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Pamplona, Spain; home of the San Fermín festival and its famous run with the bulls. He splits his time between composing for the parish and as director of the record production company, Ediciones Música-Liturgia-Oración (EMLO).
