From the GMTA Department, I had a note from the great Fr. Jay Finelli last night just as I was working on my PODCAzT about the Advent hymn Conditor alme siderum. Get a load of this!
Dear Fr. John,
I just wanted to let you know of one of my endeavors. Along with working on the music program in my parish, I wanted to help others with the Latin Mass chants and other Latin hymns and chants. As a podcast, I decided to start the ChantCast back in March of 2007 and I let it wane just a bit. Well today it came back with a new episode ChantCast #5 – Creator Alme Siderum. I don’t claim to be an expert in Latin or in chant, but I want to do my part to help out the reform of the reform. You can check it out at http://www.iPadre.net and select the link for ChantCast.
Keep up the great work with WDTPRS. I’m a regular reader and fan!
God bless,
Fr. Jay
I’ll put in a plug for Fr. Jay as well! The iPadre podcast is a great source for inspiration and catechism that is so sorely lacking in most of our parishes. His parishioners are lucky to have him. I’m so glad the ChantCast is back!
