J.J. WRIGHT TRIO; ST. PATRICK’S CATHEDRAL

CHOIR; FIFTH HOUSE ENSEMBLE

Produced by the Grammy-award winning and Billboard Chart topping composer, musician and choir director

at the University of Notre Dame, J.J. Wright, this album is a unique, beautiful recording that brings audiences

a new vision of sacred music by fusing the rich heritage of Catholic sacred music with the tradition of jazz.

It is a concertized vespers service that tells the miraculous story of Mary.

The music takes the listener on a spiritual journey through ancient prayers and psalms

that strengthen our relationship with Mary, the Blessed Mother of God.

Combining a renowned choir, soloists, a string quartet, and a jazz piano trio, this composition is anchored

by Gregorian chant and two Baroque motets by Giacomo Carissimi and Marc-Antoine Charpentier, while

weaving together scripted and uplifting music for a jazz trio. Hymns include the Salve Regina, Hail Mary, Our

Father, Magnificat, and more.

This new recording follows the critical success of Wright's Advent and Christmas cantata, O Emmanuel,

which quickly became a classical bestseller and spent weeks on top on the Billboard Classical Charts.

"Wright cites Claudio Monteverdi’s thrilling Vespers of 1610 as his primary inspiration in this work.

Monteverdi was peerless in both his church pieces and his popular numbers. He let these notions cross-pollinate

at times."

— Jack Walton, South Bend Tribune
