Gary Daigle has been an important collaborator on many composer collections, serving as arranger, instrumentalist, composer, and recording engineer. Named Pastoral Musician of the Year at the NPM 2019 convention, GIA is pleased to Gary's first solo collection in over 20 years. Way, Truth, and Life exhibits a wide variety of musical styles. Not only has Gary provided new melodies for familiar texts, he was reworked some standard tunes, thereby breathing new life into classic melodies. With music for children's choir, contemporary ensemble, choral arrangements, including music in both English and Spanish for congregational use, this collection has appeal to many liturgical musicians and assemblies. We are proud to highlight the work of this beloved GIA composer and musician.

One of the world's most salient features is that there is so much trouble, but one of the world's deepest hopes is for something better. A better life. A better place. A better world that transcends our troubles. A haven. A Heaven. A full home and a final one. The tension between these two ideas (trouble and transcendence) is the binding theme of this collection of choral works. Each piece takes up some aspect of that theme. Some describe the sorrow and tragedy of this world. Some express fear and trembling at the cost of redeeming it. Most of the works express a hope for a better world. The implications of the difference between trouble and transcendence is most deeply explored in the centerpiece of the collection, InchPrayers of Kierkegaard.Inch Album Tracks 1.
