sacred music artwork

Gaudium

Hi all,

Hoping to take some time this summer to make my office a nicer and more inspiring place in which to work! I am looking to find nice artwork for my office walls. Specifically, framed art of Gregorian chant notation, as well as a worthy pipe organ. I have a nice canvas print of St. Cecilia, but am happy to entertain any other ideas you may have. Any suggestions or leads on where to turn for this?

Thank you!

I found some old wooden pipes at an antique shop that I have on the wall in my music room at home. I don't have a picture to share here, sorry - but maybe you could find some on eBay? This gives variety from just art and gives those old pipes a home :-)

I like to print out nice pieces from the huge stock at Wikimedia Commons. Find ones that are higher-quality, print on matte photo paper, frame if you like, and voilá. I like to change the art around seasonally.

Here's a gorgeous one for instance: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Miniatures_of_Pentecost#/media/File:Don_Silvestro_dei_Gherarducci_-_Gradual_2_for_San_Michele_a_Murano_-_The_Pentecost_in_an_Initial_S_(Victoria_and_Albert_Museum,_MS_970,_inv._no._3045).jpg

I have hundreds of Russian Icons in hi res format. You can print any of them. Would have to put them together.

I love these ideas. Right now I'm a scripture-verse-on-post-it-note kind of decorator. I have my kids' artwork and pictures above my desk which inspire me (My 4 year old drew a bunny and smiley face and told me to write, "To Baby Jesus, From Margaret." haha.
Also a crucifix, of course, if you don't have one already.
