New album features His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, reciting and singing passages and prayers. Alma Mater, Latin for “Nourishing Mother,” was made in honor of the Virgin Mary and features classical music enthusiast Pope Benedict XVI. The music for Alma Mater was written by three contemporary composers: Simon Boswell from Britain, Italy-based Moroccan Nour Eddine, and Stefano Mainetti of Italy. Producer Vincent Messina acquired his top three choices for the album. "A happy coincidence is that Stefano is Catholic, Simon is ‘undeclared’ and Nour is Muslim, thus perfectly representing our aim to produce an album that has universal appeal to all of those who love beautiful music.”
