Margaret Rizza is a quite remarkable figure, having only begun composing in her 60’s after an illustrious career as an opera singer, and rising to become a major personality in the world of Christian choral music today. The eighteen pieces featured in The Celtic Collection are made up of: • Four choral pieces with organ (keyboard) • Three SATB a cappella pieces • Eleven choral pieces with organ (keyboard) and optional instrumental accompaniment “I think setting music to these beautiful prayers has reminded me that it is never too late to stand on the threshold and marvel at the grandeur of God in all its richness – to be surrounded by God’s presence in the ordinary and seemingly mundane things as we go about our daily lives discovering the hidden sacredness in God’s creation.” – Margaret Rizza
