The End of Magnificat Monday… and the Start of Te Deum Tuesday!

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the end (for now) of Magnificat Monday. However, we will be moving on to something almost as exciting: Te Deum Tuesday! Send me an email to suggest Te Deum recordings for future Tuesday posts!

To start us off, I’ll include one of my favorite recordings, the alternatim Te Deum with Pierre Cochereau at the console at Notre Dame.

Magnificat Monday: MacMillan

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."
