Liner Notes A Treasure of Inestimable Value
The Second Vatican Council declared that "the musical tradition of the
universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that
of any other art." The Council fathers then commanded that "the
treasure of sacred music…be preserved and fostered with very great care."
The Church of St. Agnes, located near Grand Central Terminal in midtown Manhattan,
has for many years been prominent in the effort to obey the Council's orders.
The "Tridentine" Latin Mass is celebrated every Sunday, with music
provided by some of New York City's finest professional musicians. This CD
offers a sample of the rich variety of music offered at St. Agnes. Since the
selections on the CD are from "live" recordings there are inevitably
occasional flaws, as well as background noises ranging from Sanctus bells
to crying babies. These imperfections are retained as evidence that the Latin
Mass, far from being a museum or a concert hall, is in fact a vital part of
an active parish.
