In this interview, Diana speaks about (among other things) the “Colorado Sacred Music Conference.”

Readers often send us their compositions. Today, we’d like to share some!

From a classic interview with Father Robert Skeris on EWTN.

“The mocking reed, and cruell ſpear, Their hate, his love diſplay.”
A gorgeous, luscious, contemporary setting by Gustaaf Nees (d. 1965).

“They are the relics of the love of God which alone triumphs in the death of martyrs,” exclaimed Father Ragueneau.

Jean Calvin (d. 1564) famously detested sacred music. Ironically, Jonathan Bading—a convert from Calvinism!—has become one of the Church’s “leading lights” when it comes to authentic church music.

Found in a special choral collection by Maria von Trapp.
