I haven’t had time to clean up the audio, but here is the Preface and Sanctus from the Mass tonight.
I am told that this is the first Solemn Mass for Christmas Midnight in some 40 years.

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

This is my favorite preface. Thanks for the posting, Father, and Merry Christmas!
And why aren’t you celebrating Mass on EWTN once a week?
Thank you for posting this audio, Father. Well sung chant is a joy to listen to and you do it wonderfully. Merry Christmas.
Wonderful! Beautifully sung by you. I hope you’ll have more audio to post later.
A Christmas gift from you, Father, beautifully done. Thanks you so much.
Beautiful Father Z, I hope you have the rest up eventually. Merry Christmas! don Jeffry
All I can say is WOW! What a voice.
Wonderful to hear-and you do have a beautiful singing voice [that's always a plus in a Solemn Mass!] !
Hope you had a blessed Christmas Day, Father Z !
Father, I’m sorry, but I had no idea that was you singing until I started reading the comments! I’m a little slow on the up-take.
Now that I know, Father Z.! I am blown away. Fabulous. Mezmerizing. How nice to scroll down to the picture inside the Church while listening to the chants. It really ‘takes you away’ as was said in the old commercial. I know, I’m dating myself.
Father, you have been blessed. Thank you for passing that blessing on to us.
