Check out Choral Treasure — a continuous live mp3 stream of sacred and religious music* — and Catholic Music Shop, an Amazon-powered catalog of noteworthy sacred music CDs and other related goods. *For those on Linux (like myself), here is [...]

"Why Is Gregorian Chant Making a Comeback?"

A Musical Journey through GIRM: § 78-79 – Eucharistic Acclamations
April 16, 2003 by — 9 comments.
These lengthy articles that pertain to the Eucharistic Prayer don’t mention singing or music very much, but I include them here for reference.
