We are excited to shine the spotlight on even more talented Hispanic composers who have shared their gifts and culture with us!
Visit https://ow.ly/FuMA50PRinH to discover their work.
Eleazar Cortés, 1947–2018
The late Eleazar Cortés, who passed away this 5 years ago this month, was indeed one of the great Spanish-language and bilingual liturgical music composers of our time. With an uncanny gift for assembly melody and a keen theological sense, his numerous songs are a staple of the Spanish-language repertoire across the U.S. In 2001, he made an album with WLP, featuring some of his most memorable tunes, including the infectiously exuberant title track, “Alabemos a Dios,” and the vallenato-inspired “Por Tu Misericordia.” His musical setting of Psalm 137, “Si No Me Acuerdo de Ti,” is especially noteworthy for its exquisite art-song treatment of this text of lament. Eleazar was a native of Mexico, a talented mariachi band leader and orchestrator, and spent the bulk of his ministerial career serving in the Bay area of California, including San Juan Bautista mission.
Michelle Abeyta
Born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado, Michelle Abeyta is a liturgical songwriter with a lifetime of experience in music ministry, having served as music director in parishes around the Colorado Springs diocese and at Saint Mary’s Cathedral. In addition to her formidable vocal talent, she plays guitar and violin, and in 1994 formed a mariachi to perform before Pope John Paul II at World Youth Day in Denver. Her bilingual compositions reflect a lived reality of bicultural prayer and worship. True to her Hispanic roots, in addition to her liturgical compositions, she has a special love for the golden-era classics of Latin-America, frequently performing these outside of church settings. Her lead vocals may be heard on the compilation collection of bilingual psalms, Aclama Tierra Entera/Sing, All You Lands.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month at GIA, we are delighted to highlight some of the many gifted composers who have shared their talent and culture with us and the world!
Rafael Moreno
A native of Mexico with an international following, Rafael Moreno is one of the most widely recognized Latino artist/composers of religious music today, particularly within the charismatic movement. His songs are sung in masses, retreats, concerts and gatherings all across the U.S. and Latin-America, among them “Sáname,” “Dime, Señor,” and “Con las Manos Vacías,” an offertory song popular among Spanish choirs. From meditative ballads to vallenatos and mariachi boleros to catechetical children’s tunes for the classroom, Rafael has helped an entire hemisphere of Spanish-speaking faithful to pray through song.
Albums:
Los Misterios: Cantos para Meditar el Rosario • Ha Nacido el Salvador • Reunidos en Tu Nombre 1 • Reunidos en Tu Nombre 2 • Reunidos en Tu Nombre 3 • Parabolas de Jesus • Jesús • Los Sacramentos: Catequesis Musicalizada para Niños • Mensajero Guadalupano
Mary Frances Reza
Lovingly referred to as the “godmother" of modern-day Hispanic liturgical music in the U.S., Mary Frances Reza’s contributions to the church are too numerous to count. Hailing from Albuquerque, NM in the heart of the Southwest U.S., her legacy of service as composer, liturgist, and teacher has inspired generations of liturgical music composers. Because of her
dedication to the advancement of bilingual sacred music and unrelenting appreciation for the gifts of the Hispanic community to the church at large, in 2015, the Southwest Liturgical Conference named its award for outstanding contribution in the area of Hispanic music in her honor. GIA is proud to publish several of her works.
Octavos and collections:
Oración de San Francisco/Prayer of Saint Francis • Aquí Estoy, Señor/Here Am I, Lord • Los Confines de la Tierra/All the Ends of the Earth • Aclama, Tierra Entera/Sing, All You Lands
