    I had a chance to sing with the Schola Cantorum of Blessed John XXIII parish here in Fort Collins Colorado. Joel Bacon conducted, and came up with something I've never heard before - the addition of a harp underlying the music!

    Check out the recordings!

    This was the Compline service mentioned in the local paper last week.

  • You might also enjoy this recording of the office for St. Brigid of Kildare. It's a bit much to listen to the entire recording at once, but it too features chant accompanied by harp.
