Catholic Music

[Lawrence178]

This is my first post. I realize it probably isn’t in the right place, but I don’t know where it should go, I read over all of the categories and this one is as good as any other, but more are viewing

Anyway, has anyone tried to compile Catholic music into one neat little place? It is always a pain to find many hymns on Youtube save the very famous ones. Anyway, do any of you know of a site that has everything? I mean every hymn in the hymnal, all of the different Alleluias, all of the different versions of sung prayers at Mass, all of the chants, etc. If not, perhaps it could be added on this very site!

I would like to contribute, but I have only a small parish, no choir or anything. Perhaps someone with more resources at a big church, or even a cathedral could start compiling, I don’t know, what to call it? The Video Missal? Virtual Hymnal?

I think I am starting to ramble. Anyway, I hoped I have gotten my main point across and apologize if I violated any rules, once again, first real post!

Lawrence welcome!
ITunes has allot of great content as does Microsoft Zune. I use both sites. And there are not very many hymns or songs that I hear in Mass and being moved by them. Want to hear them more. The end all be all site you speak of would be wonderful though.
Again welcome and that is what I use.

Greetings Lawrence178,

Say if you ever run across a compliation, by all means post it to this thread as I would be very interested in finding a comphrensive compilation myself.

God bless.

What is it you want to do with these? Use them as reference, print, or what?

I was thinking a collection of videos for each one so maybe we could get a little more variety at Mass. At my parish we use like 20 or 30 songs, there are well over 200 in the hymnal that I have never heard.

Also, the different Mass Acclimations would be good. My parish only uses one because the organist is old.

The sheet music to print would be good too, I have been looking for the organ sheet music for “Celtic Alleluia” online and simply cannot find it for free. Sorry, but I am not paying 5 dollars for two pieces of paper. But the sheet music is more of a secondary goal since I know publishers would get angry, I wonder how much Mass music is public domain.
