Not only has leading Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli won the respect of critics and achieved commercial success---despite blindness---he has also been selected by Pope John Paul II to record the newly composed hymn for the Great Jubilee.
Bocelli and the Holy Father renewed thier friendship July 30 when the tenor sang at Mass and performed the official jubilee hymn for the Holy Father at his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo.
The Jubilee Hymn composed by Jean Paul Lecot director of music at the Lourdes shrine, will be translated and recorded in 5 different languages. In addition to the CD version, a video is planned.
