Saintly Souls whom We Love

Pope Leo XIII

Pope Pius XI

John Henry Cardinal Newman

Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val

Several blogs are reporting this story, originally from La Stampa, announcing that the Pope has cancelled the annual Vatican Pop Christmas concert. Frankly, I didn’t know it existed, but bravo all the same. This is an excellent occasion to recall how privileged we are, musically at least, to have as Pope the man who delivered this lecture on Liturgy and Music.

Now, hopefully they’ll replace it with something better? It’d be nice to see, not less music, but better music, in the Vatican.

Yes, perhaps Palestrina’s Hodie Christus Natus Est?

Or some non-liturgical sacred music.

Say Bach’s Christmas Oratorio?
