S2:E20 Catholic Playlist Worship #63

New artists and music is what the Catholic Playlist is all about. This hasn’t always been true however for the Catholic Playlist Worship version of the show. After 62 episodes of the show, we don’t see the same kind of energy being put into traditional, sacred and classical music. Maybe we aren’t trying as hard, but it seems true to us. That’s probably why the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist and the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles from the De Montfort Music label took the classical music world by storm the last couple of years.

This week we find a new artist to share with you from the sacred music side. Lorraine Hess joins the Worship show this week with “Soul of Christ”, a new arrangement of the Anima Christi prayer. Jack Cassidy smoothly sings “Brian’s Hymn (When I Turn to You)” and the sisters of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles beautifully offer “Lauda Sion”. Other performers include Collin Raye, Liz Christian, Kitty Cleveland, Steve Angrisano and more.

Catholic Playlist Worship #56Welcome to our latest playlist this week as we head into Ordinary Time in the liturgical calendar. Once again we’ve got a great selection of music. A couple of songs are perfect for Pentecost that we just celebrated, and then there is a nice variety of sacred hymns throughout. Performers in the playlist include Tori Harris, Collin Raye, Kitty Cleveland, Edwin Fawcett, Voces8, L’Angelus and more.

The Letters SoundtrackThis week we lead off the playlist with a composition from the official movie soundtrack of “The Letters”, a movie that explores the life of Mother Teresa through letters she wrote to her longtime friend and spiritual advisor, Father Celeste van Exem over a nearly 50-year period. With her canonization coming up in September, we thought it was appropriate to share this music with you. This first selection from the soundtrack is titled “Prayer of St Francis”.
