| We would like to wish all of our customers a blessed Advent! Gregorian chant, with its timeless beauty, will help you to bring a Catholic spirit to your home this Advent and Christmas. As we prepare to celebrate the Catholic version of "the Holidays" (Advent, St. Nicholas Day, Immaculate Conception, Christmas, Circumcision of Our Lord, and the Epiphany), we must fight against the World which wants us to celebrate Christmas over 1 month early, and then stop the celebration on Dec. 26th. To help you and your family celebrate this sacred season, we have many free lyrics available on our website for beautiful Advent and Christmas songs. Some of the lyrics pages include sheet music and/or a melody. Here is a beautiful Advent hymn taken from a 4th century liturgy: Let all mortal flesh keep silence, and with fear and trembling stand; ponder nothing earthly minded, for with blessing in his hand Christ our God to earth descendeth, our full homage to demand. Advent is a time of prayer and preparation for Christmas. Gregorian chant has been used for centuries to help raise minds and hearts to God and heavenly things. Bring the music of the Church into your home this Advent, and share it with your loved ones this Christmas! |
| The Divine Office of Matins for Christmas Eve, sung by 50 seminarians with organ accompaniment. Beautifully done, this music will help you to raise your heart to God! Over 79 minutes of Psalms, responsories, and one VERY beautiful invitatory! The Psalms each have a different melody, so it is very compelling to listen to. The office of Matins is still sung like this in some seminaries and monasteries. The Psalms have organ accompaniment; the responsories are sung acapella by the seminary Schola.

| The recordings in the St. John Schola series consist of unedited, live recordings of the type of chant pieces that may be used at traditional churches and chapels. It makes no pretense to being professional, but to what is achievable, with a little work, by the average small lay choir. The aim of this CD series is to serve as a practical guide for the wider use of Gregorian chant in the traditional Roman Catholic liturgy. Download samples from the CDs! Only $9.99 each |
