This new collection entitled It’s A Brand New Day CD by Robert Kochis is a revival of memorable Catholic folk songs.
The Second Vatican Council encouraged Catholics to sing during the Mass and sparked a new genre of Catholic folk music. Singable praise and worship songs accompanied by simple guitar arrangements sprung up all over the county. The catchy melodies and memorable lyrics swept through Catholic congregations and became forever embedded in the hearts and minds of Catholics who experienced folk Masses for the first time. For more than ten years these songs served as the core of Catholic Liturgical music. More than 40 years after the emergence of this new genre of liturgical music, many of these cherished songs are difficult to find in recordings or print.
