  1. Invitation, Formation, Vocation: The Providential Journey of a Music Minister

    JAN 7

    Invitation, Formation, Vocation: The Providential Journey of a Music Minister

    Who inspires you? Perhaps it is this week’s guest, Tony Alonso. This conversation explores the bravery, audacity, but above all the invitation that calls us toward this sacred vocation of music ministry. How is God speaking to you? Through desire, gumption, curiosity? Through the voice of another? Through mentors, teachers, models, examples? And how do you know when you’re on the right track? What difference does it make? Settle into this conversation and reflect on your own vocation and path.  Guests: Tony Alonso Tony Alonso is a Latin Grammy-nominated composer of sacred music and a theologian whose work responds to the diverse needs of the contemporary church.  A Cuban-American Roman Catholic, Tony's compositions embrace multicultural musical expressions and reflect a commitment to strong ritual song. His music appears in compilations and hymnals across Christian denominations throughout the world. Tony’s Mass of Joy and Peace is one of the most widely sung Mass settings in the United States. In 2015, his compositional work was recognized with an invitation to compose the responsorial psalm for the first Mass Pope Francis celebrated in the United States. In 2020, he was nominated for a Latin Grammy for his groundbreaking album Caminemos con Jesús. Tony's scholarly work lies at the intersection of liturgical theology and cultural studies. In 2019, he was awarded the Catherine Mowry LaCugna Award for new scholars for the best academic essay in the field of theology within the Roman Catholic tradition by the Catholic Theological Society of America. His book Commodified Communion: Eucharist, Consumer Culture, and the Practice of Everyday Life was awarded the 2021 Hispanic Theological Initiative Book Prize. Tony is Aquinas Associate Professor of Theology and Culture with tenure at Candler School of Theology at Emory University where he also serves as the inaugural Director of Catholic Studies. Songs heard in this episode:  G-4293, With the Lord There Is Mercy, from We Are God’s People, Cotter G-10077, Caminemos Con Jesus, Alonso G-8675, I Will Lift My Eyes, Alonso

    Another Tuesday with Michael

    Join a conversation that fits like an old glove—Michael Silhavy jumps back in for our ongoing push and pull, the ever-present dialogue across generations. One rear-view mirror, one headlight, both essential parts of safely innovating our way into the future. This tension need not be one filled with animosity, but indeed is one that takes careful consideration, respect, and open hearts toward a common goal. Always a work in progress. Guests: Michael Silhavy Michael Silhavy is GIA’s Senior Project Editor. With degrees in music education, theology, and liturgical studies from De Paul University, Loyola University (Chicago), and Saint John’s University (Collegeville, MN), Michael has worked in parish, grade school, university, cathedral, and diocesan settings. He values the weekly experience of making music with a congregation as director of music at St. Mary Church, Riverside, Illinois. His work at GIA centers around choral and congregational music, hymnals, and working with composers and authors to create musical and liturgical resources for both Roman Catholic congregations and the wider ecumenical community. He worked with noted composer Richard Proulx in creating The Richard Proulx Collection, an annotated catalog of Proulx’s published and unpublished compositions housed at Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota and he contributed biographies on American composers and authors for the Canterbury Dictionary of Hymnology. Songs heard in this episode:  G-2371, Anthem for Pentecost, Proulx G-10804, Shepherd Me, O God arr. Holland
