    Help us find the right ones and let us know why they fit and we would love to have Gregorian chant. And, if you haven’t noticed, on Sundays we have started chanting psalms to Gregorian ( and other ) tones. We don’t sound as great as the munks, but we pray within a studio and not a monastery ;)

    I certainly enjoy the older hymns I remember from my youth (as an Anglican). Many of those were very Catholic!

    Would it be appropriate, or even possible, to include some Gregorian chant from time to time? I’m slowly learning a bit of Latin when I assist at an EF Mass, but the very sound of Gregorian chant lifts my soul heavenwards.

    Thanks for all the great selections.

    Reg.

    After hearing Veni Sancti Spiritu (a Taize music piece) here, I sought out their work on YouTube and Amazon — what a blessing it has been. Thank you from the depths of my soul. Their CD of that title is now in my Top 5 all time favorites for sure.

    Just one request – is there any way you can even out the volume a bit more? It seems when I can hear the music well, the spoken portions are too loud. By the same token, when I have the volume right for the spoken parts, I have a hard time hearing the music well. But thank you so much for this ministry (and that’s from a non-Catholic – shhhh! :)

    Christina,
    It has been a challenge to level out the music volume and I guess I am not doing such a great job at it. It is difficult to get right because it music and spoken word act so differently when heard through headphones, earbuds, computer speakers, and stereo speakers. We will keep trying. (And your secret is safe with us :-) )
