“In the liturgy, in particular, singing is never a ‘soundtrack’, a simple backdrop, but is intended to lift the soul…” —Pope Leo XIV
A collection of Palestrina works that are not only stunningly beautiful but also surprisingly accessible.

“Catholic parishes are slow to change their habits. They still sing what the oldest members learned at school.” —Evelyn Waugh
