Beautiful!!! The chant truly reminds us never changing, faithful and transcending love for us given in the liturgy.

In my site I put a lot of videos and the chant music score and so, it`s possible learn to sing : http://www.gregoriano.org.br – from Brazil.

About

Catholic liturgical music is serious, solemn, transcendent, but Catholic musicians are never more fun and inspiring than when they are talking about what they love most. This is what happens at sacred music events around the world: the social and intellectual are critically important elements. The musicians (and music enthusiasts) at the Chant Café, a project of the Church Music Association of America, bring that sense of life and love to the digital world. As St. Augustine said, "Cantare amantis est."
