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."

This is a beautiful option for young men. I showed it to my teen boys, so they can keep in mind and open to it. (They also sing Gregorian chant in the schola and being trained to serve for Traditional Mass. As a mother I can only provide what is available and support for them to make right decision.)
I also send it to my homeschooling group. I hope we have more priests who can celebrate Traditional Mass in the future.
Thank you.
