The beloved Dominican Sisters of Nashville have recorded a set of Christmas carols & songs that are quite lovely (click HERE). Fitting, since St. Cecilia is the patroness of musicians.
They also cover several of the pieces we will be singing, including Of The Father's Love Begotten (with an unexpected harmony!), Lo How A Rose, & others. All recordings are free for download. Of course, nothing's stopping you from sending them a donation. HERE is their homepage.
As an aside, the first organist for the Knox Latin Mass Schola was a little teenaged girl named Mary. She is now Dominican Sister Felicity. Her younger sister, Anne, is now our organist, & their youngest sister, Catherine, is learning how to play, too. Their oldest brother, Michael, is a seminarian for the Diocese of Knoxville, soon to be ordained a deacon in St. Peter's Basilica.
P.S.: I just got an email notice about the 2014 Aquinas Forum, sponsored by Aquinas College. The Forums are an amazing opportunity to go so much deeper in knowledge & love of the Faith. The website is HERE.
Thank God for the faithful Sisters who live, teach, & sing the Gospel!
