A liturgical motet by Rev. Anthony Cekada
Click here to hear it.
In the Preface to my book on the New Mass, Work of Human Hands, I mention that the bad music that invaded the liturgy almost immediately after the liturgical changes began in the 1960s prompted me to study music — specifically, organ, choral conducting and musical composition. I was blessed to have studied under some excellent teachers.
More than forty years later, I found myself once again immersed in church music, this time as organist and musical planner at St. Gertrude the Great, where I was able to put to use some of my long-dormant composition skills for the benefit of our small, but excellent choir.
As a result, since 2013, I’ve managed to publish twenty-three editions of Mass settings and liturgical motets, mostly for smaller choirs, on CPDL (Choral Public Domain Library) which makes thousands of pieces of traditional Catholic choral music available for free downloads.

No escapa a ningún lector habitual de la prensa religiosa o secular la tormenta de fuego que Bergoglio (“el papa Francisco ") encendió con sus entrevistas recientes con la prensa y sus cartas públicas.
Como es comprensible, la discusión se centró en el significado de las declaraciones particulares de Francisco (sobre el ateísmo, el proselitismo, el “juzgar”, la conciencia, la inexistencia de un Dios católico, etc.) ¿Qué significó esta o aquella revelación? ¿Cómo cuadró con la enseñanza católica anterior? ¿Cuadró, siquiera?
Entre tanto, como cada declaración caía tan asombrosa en sí misma, las más veces no hubo quien planteara una pregunta más amplia: dejando aparte la continuada popularidad de Francisco para la izquierda religiosa y secular, ¿cuál será el efecto a largo plazo de sus declaraciones recientes tomadas en conjunto?
Éste será sentido inevitable en el modo de entenderse y percibirse la autoridad docente de la Iglesia —y las …More
