Is there a patron saint of singing?

[billiemills]

I need to pick a saint before my confirmation and want one that represented singing. God has called me to sing and I would like the saint I pick to have the love of singing.

St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music. You might also consider one of the Carmelite Martyrs of Compiegne (also, see this article), who are famous for singing on the way to the guillotine and are sometimes credited as the spiritual impetus for the end of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. Their prioress was Bd. Madeleine Ledoine (Mother Teresa of St. Augustine).
