Description

The Waltz and Polka Mass was inspired by the late Father Walter Szczypula, Chaplain of the International Polka Association, at a convention meeting, when he expressed the desire to celebrate a polka mass at the following year's convention. This idea appealed to Joe Pat who approached Chet Schafer to further pursue the project. Chet's daughter, Alice, choir director at St. Franck of Assisi Church in Chicago, was asked to join in.

Folk melodies are a rich source of material and become the perfect counterpart to lyrics taken from the Holy Scripture. The music was arranged to the polka and waltz stylings of the Joe Pat Orchestra.

It was decided to dedicate this mass to His Holiness. Pope John Paul II, who inspires Poles and those of Polish ancestry everywhere.

Joe Pat passed on, and this compact disc recording was released . . . and the polka mass continues to be celebrated with the Joe Pat Orchestra under the direction of Frank Gentille.
