Why we do what we do
Being part of a ministry requires work and sacrifice. We have
to spend hours at the recording studio, stay up late for concert
rehearsals, or give up rest days to attend an activity. Despite the
hardships, the rewards we receive for sharing our time and talents
are priceless. The blessings, the music and the friendship make it all
worthwhile.
Our work
Hangad began as a liturgical choir, and we have been blessed with
many opportunities to continue this service; Masses and weddings are,
in fact, our most regular activities. Aside from these activities, events
and apostolates, we also have a number of recordings under the Jesuit Music
Ministry. Songbooks and videos have also been produced.
An online ministry presents even more avenues for service. We've created
discussion forums to entertain all your questions about our ministry. In the
future, this site will also feature an instructional section to provide
material to help choirs develop their skills and learn the songs from our
albums.
Musical Influences
Integrity Music's Acapella and Acapella Praise, First Call's An
Evening in December series, and the recordings of Bukas Palad have been
notable influences. Various choral, gospel and jazz music, as well as songs
from Broadway musicals, have also found their way into our repertoire. More
contemporary inspirations include Gary Valenciano, Take 6, Luther Vandross
and Mary Mary.
