Beneath Thy Protection:

A Collection of Marian Songs

 

“… Do not despise our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers…”

 

How often have we implored Mary’s help in times of difficulties? The collection of Marian songs, BENEATH THY PROTECTION, marks this remarkable devotion of the Church to the Blessed Mother, in a compilation of ten songs from composers of the Salesian family. Arranged for both performance and devotional use, the collection includes commemorative pieces (Alalahanin Mo; Maria, Ina ng Mananakop), rearranged classics (Totus Tuus Maria; Aba Ginoong Maria), and new songs (Morning Star; Sumbong; Beneath Thy Protection), all in honor of Mary who covers us in her mantle of protection in trying times.
