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."

PAX, i sent you an email with attached embedding code.
Done! thank you
C'est glorieux voir cet film! Solesmes is such a beautiful place and this film illuminates it so well.
Thank you for posting. Even if you do not speak French, you will enjoy this. However, if you do, there are some moments of genuine fun and commentary
I loved this great quality video, even with my very-poor French. I feel as if I visited the famous Abbey! Thanks!
What a delight to watch this video! Non-French speakers may note that the main speaker on history–other than the Abbot–is Dom Louis Soltner, author of the book translated into English as "Solesmes and Dom Gueranger." When I visited Solesmes in 2008, Dom Soltner served as guest master, who met arriving guests.
