Music at The Cathedral of Saint Patrick

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

It's always enjoyable (and educational) to look at just what music is being used in neighboring churches... or churches across the country. We can learn a great deal about liturgical programming, about seasonal appropriateness, and about what music is available ... some of which may be tucked away in our own libraries! Here's a year of choral anthems [Cycles B and C] planned for the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where Nicholas F. Basehore is Director of Liturgical Music.
