Play List for Great Sacred Music, Sunday, November 6, 2011

 

We contine our survey of the various liturgical forms with a sampling of Te Deums this Sunday.

One of the reasons I post this play list each week is to give you some ideas of sacred choral

music worth a listen. I hope that you find it helpful.  Enjoy!

 

Great Sacred Music airs each Sunday morning at 8 a.m. eastern on 89.7 FM in central North Carolina

and at http://theclassicalstation.org with your host Rob Kennedy.
