PDF Download • Organ Accompaniment for “Audi Benigne Conditor” (Vespers Hymn for Lent)
Finding the “perfect” accompaniment for hymns can be challenging. Here is my attempt.
Stella Caeli – a hymn against pestilence
Free download of Stella Caeli – a hymn against outbreaks of contagious disease along with the Litany of Our Lady.
PDF Download • Catholic Hymnal by the Bishop of Cleveland, Ohio (84 Pages)
An extremely rare hymnal compiled by the Most Rev’d Joseph Schrembs, Bishop of Cleveland, Ohio.

PDF Download • “Seasonal Index” (Brébeuf Hymnal)
I can’t always recognize a hymn tune by its name, especially when the Missalette only provides lyrics. Please don’t judge me; that’s the honest truth.

…probably unlike any musical booklet you’ve come across!
