The Year of the Eucharist:
Choral Music

On October 7, 2004, Pope John Paul II issued an Apostolic Letter, Mane nobiscum Domine, which formally inaugurated the Year of the Eucharist (October 2004 to October 2005). CNP will post a series of articles offering lists of music relating to the Most Holy Eucharist: choral music, hymns, and organ music. Here is the first of these, outlining choral selections with a Eucharistic theme: both the classically traditional and the refreshingly new.
