Playlist for Great Sacred Music for Sunday, January 8, 2012

We wrap up the Christmas season with some anthems and an organ piece for the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6).

Also on the play list is the ancient monastic office of Compline sung for us by the highly-acclaimed Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz.

The show concludes with a performance of Anton Diabelli’s infrequently performed Pastoral Mass in F major.

 

Please share this playlist with your students and others who enjoy sacred choral music. Great Sacred Music airs

each Sunday at 8 a.m. eastern on 89.7 fm in central North Carolina and online at http://theclassicalstation.org
