We’ve just launched an internet radio station broadcasting Catholic sacred music. Gregorian chant, polyphony, all that good stuff. It’s still very much a work in progress, but drop by and take a listen.

Hope you enjoy!

Oh! Thank you, thank you thank you!!

I can’t get it to load on my home computer (gonna need some help!), but I’m listening on my old clunky computer here in my office and I’m in heaven!

How beautiful!

I had this playing last evening at home, its wonderful. Thanks a bunch for sharing!
 
I’ve blogged about it, so hopefully the word will spread.
 
It seems that the word is spreading through the blogosphere.

I pray that this endeavor is successful and gains a wide audience.

If enough of these types of endeavors are started, scholas created, and priests having changes of heart, perhaps it will create a runaway train with steam that will renew our liturgies.

Glorious music!

I am planning on putting this in both of my blogs as well. 👍

(Also I was thinking that sometime in the future, if we had enough people interested, we should start a schola for St. Anne’s so that we can work our way back into the Liturgy there! 🙂 )
 
I just want to say again, thanks for all the nice words. We’re also planning to get a forum running on the website (www.choraltreasure.org) dedicated to discussing the whole area of restoring sacred music, building and running good church music programs, church music jobs, resources, etc.
 
Right now they’re playing Anglican chant…

My cathedral choir has sung Anglican chant. Given Haugen, Hass, Glory and Praise, Gather, etc. Gregorian chant in English is NOT a bad thing.

My choir actually has used the 1941 Anglican hymnal. At the very least, it has all of the Gregorian chants for the liturgical seasons translated so that you can sing in English what should be sung in Latin.

It took my choir 10 years to get Father to let us sing in Latin! A cathedral parish! But here is the gateway! You can sing word for word, note for note, in English what our ancestors sang in Latin! Check it out!

I think that would be great. We would need to find somebody to lead it.

That would be most excellent!

You may want to let the folks at thenewliturgicalmovement.blogspot.com know, as I’m sure they could provide substantial support or pr.
 
We’ve made some updates to the website, so please drop by and take a look – www.choraltreasure.org

The response has been much more than we expected. About 55 countries have tuned in so far, including quite a few “non-Christian” ones.

Glad to have you join us. Just to be clear, the forums over there are not intended to compete with Catholic Answers forums (that would be both rude and fruitless! :)). The forums will be entirely devoted to discussions related to the preservation and fostering of the sacred music tradition of the universal Church.
 
THANK YOU!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Might I make a suggestion? Our local Catholic radio station, KBVM in Portland, Oregon, marks the top of each hour with the pealing of church bells from different churches. Many of these sounds can be found on the websites of parishes and bellfoundries, CD’s, and the website of Blagovest Bells (mostly Russian Orthodox ringing – different, but quite beautiful), just to name a couple.

Excellent idea – I love bells, and will be programming plenty of bells on Christmas Day. There may be some technical issues to solve with having them play exactly on the hour, since the daily music playlist is not exactly an integral number of hours long. But I’ll look into it.
 
I run the sound for our Life Teen Mass, and have been playing your station on the church sound system before Mass. It really helps set a reverent tone in the church. Thanks.
 
Been listening at work, It’s nice to have a break from talk radio other than my own CD’s…

Nice Job and Thanks…

Hi Michael, I got a kick out of that. 👍

I’d be sincerely interested in hearing how they react to this music.
