GIFT OF LOVE, MUSIC TO THE WORDS AND PRAYERS OF MOTHER TERESA

This one of a kind CD is the only recording authorized by Mother Teresa before her passing in 1997. GIFT OF LOVE is a collection of songs written to her words and prayers. The songs, written over a period of ten years, are some of the songs written by the composer and performer, Bradley James, for Mother Teresa and her Sisters, the Missionaries of Charity and are sung by the Sisters in their homes and convents all over the world. The recording contains Mother's voice, which is blended into the moving and inspiring songs. The liner notes contains Bradley's stories of how each song came about. There are also copies of some of Mother's personal letters to the composer. This contemporary collection features original songs including MOTHER'S BUSINESS CARD, DRAW MY HEART, a new and inspired AVE MARIA written for Mother on one of her trips to her native Albania with Pope John Paul II, and a new and completely original gospel version of Mother's favorite prayer of Saint! Francis of Assisi, PRAYER FOR PEACE.  more
