Finding the music you are looking for
To help you plan your liturgy, we have music for UK and Ireland, United States and Philippines,
Australia and New Zealand and Canadian Catholic congregations. We are glad to hear that
congregations in other traditions also find the music useful.
We also have all the Psalms for weddings from the Lectionaries for the UK and the United States.
Everything is available for free download in pdf format to support singing the Mass in your church, and you can hear an electronic approximation as well - we don't usually have recordings,
because this is music for for you to perform and bring alive. If you are looking for a particular psalm or acclamation, you can use the lists below to find it.
