Our Summer/Fall 2020 Catalog is Now Available!
Welcome to our latest catalog of Traditional Music for the Contemporary Church!
We'd like to begin by welcoming Chad Cagle and Paul Randall Keith to the CNP family of composers - we're thrilled to have you both on board!
The Blessed Mother gets top billing this time around, with three new Marian motets listed - Nova! Nova! Ave fit ex Eva! (SATB) by Mr. Cagle, Assumpta est Maria (SSA) by Colin Brumby, and Beata viscera (2-part) by Gary Penkala.
Two new Christmas works also grace this catalog - Colin Brumby's Three Simple Carols (SATB) and Grimoaldo Macchia's challenging organ fantasia Christmas Tuba Tune on 'Antioch'.
For those of you who are tasked with providing music for priestly ordinations, Gary Penkala's Pastores dabo vobis is the perfect choice.
Rounding out the list are the lovely motet Psalm 121 by Joseph Knapicius and Paul Keith's four-sectioned organ Prelude on 'Thaxted'.
With music for 2-parts, 3-parts and 4-parts, along with some strong organ works and well-conceived ritual music, this catalog has something for everyone!
Enjoy!
The Staff of CNP
New Liturgical Setting
|
Pastores dabo vobis
- Gary D. Penkala
Usable by any cathedral or monastery, this impressive setting for the ritual music at any Ordination Mass is scored for SAB choir, cantor and organ (with optional trumpet).
|
Beata viscera
- Gary D. Penkala
An uncomplicated, beautiful motet for 2-part mixed choir and organ, perfect for summer Marian feasts or anytime a quick piece in honor of the Blessed Virgin is needed!
|
New Vocal Works
|
Nova! Nova! Ave fit ex Eva!
- Chad Cagle
A delightful journey into Renaissance style, this truly practical and graceful Marian motet for SATB choir alternates a refrain and six verses, all set for 2-parts.
|
Psalm 121
- Joseph Knapicius
An elegant SATB motet based on a four-measure Italian ground, repeated nine times throughout the eight verses.
Vocal ranges are supremely comfortable, making this a pleasantly quick anthem to learn!
|
Three Simple Carols
- Colin Brumby
Three simple SATB carols that have multiple uses during Christmastide: as part of a choral/congregationl carol sing prior to Midnight Mass, programmed individually as easy motets for the "Sundays within," or as an effective pieces for combined choirs to sing on Epiphany, when little prior rehearsal time is available.
|
Assumpta est Maria
- Colin Brumby
A beautiful SSA setting of the Offertory Antiphon for the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, written in Renaissance style.
|
New Organ Work
|
Prelude on 'Thaxted'
- Paul Randall Keith
This truly engaging treatment for organ of this well-loved melody is structured very much like a Fantasia with four distinct sections.
|
Christmas Tuba Tune on 'Antioch'
- Grimoaldo Macchia
This fantasia for organ on Joy to the World would make a stunning recessional or postlude for any Christmas Mass!
|
Seminarian Discount!
Seminarians have it rough.
On one hand, the number of new things they are required to purchase for their studies is extensive, and the cost of the education itself is not cheap.
At the same time, they are full-time students, most with no steady income, and they're not looking at a financially lucrative salary post-graduation to help pay their school debts.
As a very small way to assist with this problem, CNP now offers a 25% discount on all orders made by U.S. Roman Catholic seminarians.
To qualify for this discount:
- On the order form or checkout page, check the box marked "Seminarian".
- Have your order shipped to a U.S. Roman Catholic seminary (including PNAC).
That's it!
Once we have verified the address, we will send you a bill (either by US mail or email via Paypal - you choose) with the discount applied.
