Our Summer/Fall 2024 Catalog is Now Available!
Welcome to our latest catalog of Traditional Music for the Contemporary Church!
This, our 53rd catalog, is focused very much on new vocal works for your soloists and choirs.
In this time of Eucharistic revival in the US and around the world, we focused half of this catalog on pieces with a Eucharistic theme.
These include new CNP composer Davide Mutti's O sacrum convivium, the late Colin Brumby's Simple Eucharistic Triptych, and O Jesus, Blessed Lord which is an arrangement by Gary Penkala of music by William Byrd.
We round out the remainder of the catalog with a Responsorial Psalm setting for the Common of Martyrs (Psalm 34), the lively Wachet Auf! which is perfect for any choir for Advent, and Gary Penkala's ingenious new setting of the traditional Credo text.
We hope you find in these new works an opportunity to bring additional beauty and variety to your liturgical celebrations!
Enjoy!!

New Psalm
|
Psalm 34
- Christopher Bord
This setting of one of the Responsorial Psalms from the Common of Martyrs could also be used as an Introit or a Communion Psalm for many other Masses.

New Vocal Works
|
O sacrum convivium
- Davide Mutti
Written in Renaissance motet style, this polyphonic SATB setting uses touches of modern, slightly dissonant harmonies, all appropriately prepared.
The overall effect brings an old style into a modern milieu, perfectly exemplifying the CNP motto, "Traditional Music for the Contemporary Church."
|
Simple Eucharistic Triptych
- Colin Brumby
This is a beautiful collection of three easy and effective SATB Communion pieces, that will enhance the vast panorama of your Ordinary Time liturgies.
|
O Jesus, Blessed Lord
- William Byrd / Gary D. Penkala
"O Jesus, Blessed Lord, to Thee,", a popular Eucharistic text by Thomas Hansen Kingo, is here set for SATB choir to the mildly polyphonic music of William Byrd's Pavane in a minor.
|
Wachet Auf!
- Johann Ludwig Krebs / Gary D. Penkala
This extremely useful setting takes the organ chorale prelude by Johann Ludwig Krebs, moves the chorale (originally in the pedal) to a unison choir or soloist and puts the remaining three parts as a trio on two manuals and pedals.
|
Credo
- Gary D. Penkala
An ingenious setting of the Latin Credo in unum Deum text that uses familiar hymn tunes in various textures (soloists, 2-part choir, SATB choir, etc.).
This piece is fun and engaging for the choir and would make a pleasing choir prelude, particularly for Trinity Sunday.

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.
