Sampler Of:
"ALL YE NATIONS, SING OUT YOUR JOY"
The POLKA MASS Goes International
With this sampler from a forth coming album release of the same name, THE POLKA MASS GOES INTERNATIONAL. The Polka Mass is the brain child of FR. GEORGE BALASKO, who originated it back in 1971 and first celebrated it on Memorial Day of 1972 at The Holy Rosary Church in Lowellville, Ohio.
The Bob Timko Orchestra was the first band to play The Polka Mass, and from that point, The Polka Mass spread like wildfire across the nation. Naturally, others have since claimed The Polka Mass as their own, and some have even tried to exploit it. But, that's another story for a later date. Now, with the evolution of this latest offering, excerpted from the album "ALL YE NATIONS, SING OUT YOUR JOY", THE POLKA MASS GOES INTERNATIONAL. This recording features some of the most renown musicians in the Polka field, such as: FRED GREGORICH, LOU TREBAR, JOHNNY KRIZANCIC, DICK FLAISHMAN, DWIGHT GOBELEY, and more, plus "THE SOUND OF JOY SINGERS", a group of "World Class" singers brought together by Fr. George Balasko for this one time performance.
Gospel, as it moves from Israel, to Greece, to Europe, etc. "DOBRODOSLI" PAPA JANEZ PAVO II (Church's Chant) is dedicated to POPE JOHN PAUL II as a welcome on his recent American visit. Other selections "ONE GOD, LORD OF ALL" and "ADIO" (The Mass Is Ended). Again, we salute "THE POLKA PRIEST" FR. GEORGE BALASKO for his unique ideas and continued development of the Polka Mass, it's music and words, and look forward to the near future release of the album "ALL YE NATIONS, SING OUT YOUR JOY"
