Catholic Playlist Worship for Advent & Christmas

Music for the Complete Season of Advent

smaller-advent-scripture

We’ve arrived to the end of Advent and the Virgin Birth is imminent. We wait together and sing our praise and wonder for the Child to be born.

Like everyone else, I’m crunched for time when we reach Advent and the end of the calendar year. So much to do and try to wrap up in time to relax once Christmas arrives. For me, this includes getting web postings done for the latest Catholic Playlist shows. Which is a great disservice to you, our faithful listeners, for you get to miss out on music specially written and composed for this season of preparation. We’re so sorry about this and resolve to be better next year.

Jaime Thietten Joy of ChristmasWe play many of the ‘classics’ from your favorite artists – Jackie Evancho, The Priests, Kitty Cleveland, L’Angelus, St Paul’s Choir School, and Adrienne Price. We’re also pleased to include music from two new releases for 2016. Jaime Thietten just released a new Christmas album titled The Joy of Christmas, and we’re pleased to include “O Come O Come Emmanuel” in playlist #80, which is just 1 of 17 songs. This album is well worth a listen and belongs in your collection of music.

abigail-winzer-rejoiceNew artist Abigail Winzer released her first album Rejoice, which includes seven classic songs. This album is peaceful and relaxing to listen to, thanks to a unique instrument called the duduk, which creates a rich, haunting sound. Don’t miss her performance of “O Come O Come Emmanuel” in playlist #78.

Hopefully your wait to hear this sacred music for the season was worth it!

S2:E25 Catholic Playlist Worship #68

To commemorate the recent canonization of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, we lead off with two tracks that relate to her life. First, it’s “Prayer of St Francis” from the soundtrack of the movie The Letters, based on her life, followed by “I Thirst” from Annie Karto. Mother Teresa said that those words, “I thirst”, written in their chapel and taken from Jesus’s words from the cross on Good Friday, were a constant reminder of the purpose of the Missionaries of Charity. Other performers appearing in this episode include Kitty Cleveland, Jack Cassidy, Audrey Assad, Lorraine Hess, Collin Raye and several more.

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.
