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."

Where and how can I get a copy of this music to study and practice? It is enormously beautiful indeed, and I am one who painfully reads music, but with the aid of the recording, could learn, following the notation. Would gratefully love to know where or how to get a hold of the notation. Thank you kindly.
