There is a new CD or (digital download – no waiting and one less thing to dust or pack when moving!) of Gregorian chant and polyphony (Palestrina) sung by the seminarians of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) in their chapel at Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary. Check it out!
Sales will obviously help the seminary.

I am so buying this! This is awesome :) Thanks for calling attention to the CD, Father.
They had one a few years back for the mass of Maundy Thursday also worth a listen if you haven’t already. I think it was called “In Cena Domini”.
This is awesome! My family (and a number of my friends) know many of the seminarians. How awesome that they have a CD out! Gotta buy for sure.
Got my copy a couple weeks ago—love it!
The SSPX Seminarians from St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Winona, MN recorded a similar CD, Puer Natus Est, with Christmas Day Mass Propers and related Chants with Byrd’s Mass for Three Voices last Fall.
It is wonderful to see these traditional seminarians learning and performing the Church’s music … not the latest Marty Haugan monstrosity, or approaching music as unimportant to their formation.
God Bless these young men.
Excellent choices on the motets. Particularly the Alma redemptoris mater, the Arcadelt, and the Tye. Those are favorites at our parish – ‘when in doubt, bring out Arcadelt’.
Is there sample audio available?
I was unable to figure out how to buy the online digital version.
The links all seem to be for the CD and its related shipping fees.

MP3 version not available outside the US and UK through Amazon, but google brings up http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ourladyofguadalupesemina which seems to work everywhere.
