It's here!
Catholic Music Through the Ages is published by Hillenbrand Books. It is available at www.amazon.com and www.priorypress.com.
It was originally commissioned for use as a textbook for seminaries, but its final design makes it useful for anyone who has an interest in the history, formative powers, and liturgical use of the Church's music.
The text is designed to be accompanied by approximately 50 recordings. These recordings are available on the recordings page of this site, after a fee is paid to receive the password. Most of the recordings can be downloaded. Some can only be streamed, as per licensing agreements. Clink the link to go to the recordings page. You will have the opportunity to view the list of recordings and to purchase the password, or not to purchase it.
Over time, this site will also offer teaching aids and updates to accompany the text.
This is a book like none other on the Church's music. Put it on your "must buy" list today.
