Our Winter/Spring 2024 Catalog is Now Available!

Welcome to our latest catalog of Traditional Music for the Contemporary Church!

This, our 52nd catalog, contains a nicely balanced selection of new liturgical, choral, and organ works.

The Paschal Triduum requires so much music, and it can be hard to find a setting that is both manageable and effective for any given liturgical moment. Our new three-part Antiphons for the Washing of Feet, by new CNP composer Rives Cassel meets those criteria well and is a perfect addition to the Holy Thursday repertiore. Next Gary Penkala provides us with a lovely Responsorial Psalm setting for a Mass of the Blessed Mother (Fatima Magnificat), which can be done with few or many resources, depending on what you have available. A flexible 2-part choral setting of Psalm 84 by Joseph Knapicius and Colin Brumby's three new musical settings of three ancient Eucharistic texts (Eucharistic Triptych) round out our vocal offerings. If you're an organist and looking for a new prelude for Eastertide, you will definitely want to check out Harold Owen's Meditation on 'O filii et filiæ'. Finally, solid Baroque choral preludes are always good for an organist to have on hand, making Four Chorale Trios, Volume 2 another "must-have" item.

We hope you find in these new works an opportunity to bring additional beauty and variety to your liturgical celebrations!

Enjoy!!

The Staff of CNP

 

New Liturgical Settings

Antiphons_for_Feet_Washing 

Antiphons for the Washing of Feet

- K. Rives Cassel

Extremely versatile SAB, a cappella settings of six of the antiphons found in the Roman Missal for the Washing of the Feet on Holy Thursday. The perfect addition to your choir repertiore for the Triduum!

Fatima Magnificat 

Fatima Magnificat

- Gary D. Penkala

A setting of one of the options for Responsorial Psalms found in the Collection of Masses of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The refrain and five verses can be sung simply with cantor, choir and organ arrangement, or enhanced with instrumental descant and SATB harmonies on the refrain and some verses.

New Vocal Works

Psalm 84 

Psalm 84

- Joseph Knapicius

A flexible setting of verses two to five of Psalm 84, in which two voice lines are sung over a Tudor ground in d minor. Both SA and AT options are provided, and the ground can be beautifully rendered on cello, if desired.

Eucharistic_Triptych 

Eucharistic Triptych

- Colin Brumby

Three well-known Eucharistic texts from the 13th and 14th centuries set to solid, SATB, a cappella music. These are great pieces for Communion time, for Benediction, and certainly for any Eucharistic feast!

New Organ Works

Meditation_on_O_filii_et_filiae 

Meditation on 'O filii et filiæ'

- Harold Owen

This meditation presents an iconic Easter melody (often sung with the text, "Ye Sons and Daughters,") four times as a cantus firmus, with appropriate transitional material between each. A perfect Eastertide prelude or communion piece!

Four_Chorale_Trios_Vol_2 

Four Chorale Trios, Vol. 2

- Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg

These four delightfully elegant and beautifully crafted organ trios of Baroque composer Friedrich Marpurg are based on popular German chorales.

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:

  1. On the order form or checkout page, check the box marked "Seminarian".
  2. 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.

Limited PDF samples available

At your request, we are adding PDF samples for the pieces in our catalog. Currently, all of our pieces from the Fall 2009 and later catalogs include PDF samples, as well as several others. Enjoy!
 

Limited audio samples now available

You asked for it, you got it...at least a little. We now have a very limited selection of audio samples available for pieces in our catalog. We will add new ones as we are able.
 

Standing Order Service
