HYMN OF THE MONTH – January: O Cor Amoris
January 18, 2025 - 12:53pm — Don9of11
HYMN OF THE MONTH – January: O Cor AmorisSinging Latin hymns in the Ordinary Form of the Mass was a cherished tradition at St. Mary’s in Akron, Ohio for more than 30 years. This was our way to help preserve the devotional hymns that once were so popular. Beginning in the late 1970s and the years that followed, St. Mary’s continued to preserve these beautiful hymns and incorporate them into New Liturgy. Please take a few moments to read about one Latin hymn in particular that was a favorite among the choir members and parishioners.
Please visit my website Mother of Mercy Catholic Hymns and click on HYMN OF THE MONTH.

Be sure to read about these other fine hymns appropriate for Offertory and Communion in the Ordinary Form of the Mass.
Jesus Teach Me How to Pray
I Need Thee, Precious Jesus
In This Sacrament Sweet Jesus
O Sacred Heart, O Love Divine
Hide Thou Me

The New Heaven and Earth
January 17, 2025 - 3:24pm — ronsueMP3 Music Playlist:
- Pondering the breathtaking prophetic words of Isaiah and St John the Apostle
Isaiah lived about seven hundred years before Christ. He gave the breathtaking prophecy that God would create a new heaven and earth and gave some details of what that would be like. There was nothing like this in the ancient world, no speculation or ideas. St. John the Apostle/prophet tells us in the book of Revelation (eight hundred years after Isaiah) that he actually SAU the new heavens and earth and gave some details of what he saw.

Our World So Beautiful (Christmas song)
January 13, 2025 - 12:16am — asiansa09MP3 Music Playlist:
- Our World So Beautiful-all parts.mp3
NOTE: We originally published this post in May of 2017. We submitted this song to Oregon Catholic Press (ocp.org) but it was not accepted.
Our World So Beautiful is a Christmas song co-written by Dan vi Nguyen, Richard Schletty and André van Haren. Dan posted her lyrics here and asked if anyone could make a song out of her words. Richard Schletty rewrote the lyrics to give them a consistent rhyme, line length, metrical pattern and overall poetic structure. Then Richard came up with a melody. Next, André van Haren wrote a beautiful piano arrangement based on an a cappella recording of the melody by Richard. Using Sibelius, André engraved the sheet music not only for piano and voice, but developed the song fully by adding guitar chords and two additional instruments: flute and cello. He also engraved a version of the song with optional SATB harmonies in the refrain...

St. Mary's Choir from Akron, Ohio
December 19, 2024 - 2:38pm — Don9of11In many of my HYMN OF THE MONTH write-up’s, I have mentioned with much affection St. Mary’s Choir, of Akron, Ohio.I have included bits and pieces about the organist and choir members from time to time. As I grow older, and Christmas or Easter comes around, I remember them even more and so I thought I would take the time to share a little history and a few anecdotes with you while I am still able.
Please take a moment to read about St. Mary’s Choir as I remember them and listen to some wonderful recordings.
