Here is a versatile addition to the bilingual service music repertoire. Both the refrain and verse utilize English and Spanish. The lyrical melody is easily learned by the assembly after the first hearing. The choral parts and instrumental line add musical depth to this simple plea.

”...the refrain is easily singable and easily learned.” -- James Callahan, pianist, organist, composer, and professor of music at the University of St. Thomas (St. Paul, MN), Pastoral Music, November 2005

NOTE: The first response should be intoned with only cantor and accompaniment; choral harmony and flute may be added on the repeat, and the descant added after the first petition.  Before each sung or spoken petition, a slight ritard and fermata maybe applied to the end of the refrain response.  When spoken petitions are used, the piao lead-in to the response may begin with the 2/4 bar on this page.

NOTA:  La primera respuesta debería ser entonada por un sólo cantor y acompañamiento; se puede añadir harmonía coral y flauta en la repetición, y añadir el discante después de la primera petición cantada o recitada, se puede aplicar un ligero ritardo y fermata al final de la respuesta.  Cuando se recitan las peticiones, la entrada del piano a la respuesta puede comenzar con el compás 2/4 de esta página.
