Catholic Playlist Worship #84 thru #86

Catholic Playlist Worship

I have some catching up to do. It’s been well over a month since I last posted a show to the website, even though I still produced 3 Worship and 4(!) Playlist shows that have aired on radio. For those interested I’ll post an explanation of what’s been going later. But for now let’s get to the Worship shows!

Worship shows #85 and #86 begin our series of Lent themed programs, featuring music appropriate for Lent. Not every selection fits into the Lenten category, but we put as many as we could into each episode to avoid duplication in subsequent weeks. Episode #85 includes “These Forty Days of Lent” by the WLP Choir, “Ashes” and “Hosea” from Jon Sarta, and “O Vos Omnes” by the Choir of St Ignatious of Loyola. Other artists found in the playlist include L’Angelus, Voces8, Marian Grace, and Annie Karto:

Episode #86 continues with songs like “Jesus Walked This Lonesome Valley” from Jon Sarta, “Pange Lingua” from The St Cecilia Choir of Girls, and “Per Crucem” by Melinda Kirigin-Voss.

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!
