REVIEW

"GIA has introduced a new contemporary hymnal that is sure to catch your attention. It's called "Cross Generation", and it features a wonderful collection of contemporary songs, favorite hymns, psalms, Mass parts, and more. The list of composers is impressive as well: Tom Booth, Steve Angrisano, John Angotti, Tony Alonso, Paul Tate, Marty Haugen, David Haas, Ed Bolduc, and Michael Mahler, just to name a few. And sprinkled throughout the hymnal are a quotes and notes regarding the Mass, how the music connects to the Liturgical season, as well as descriptions and reflections on the Sacraments and rites within the Church."

What people have to say about Cross Generation

Brent Mc Williams writes:
"Cross Generation is a great resource for the parish, especially Small Faith Groups and other parish organizations. Multicultural music is well represented and many of the tunes are bilingual texts making this an invaluable resource for parishes that are multilingual. It is one of the best resources of this type that I've come across. You won't go wrong with this resource to supplement your hymnal." Brent Mc Williams, Director of Liturgical Music—Prince of Peace Catholic Community, Plano, TX
