We're delighted that Georgia Mann chose the Magnificat for her #Radio3 Essential Classics Album of the Week segment yesterday. It's "holy/holey" in all senses (Laurie had to reconstruct a lot of missing notes), and it was lovely to hear so much chant! Can't wait to hear what she will feature today.

And .... it's a wrap on our crowdfunder! An amazing effort in the home stretch - more than £1000 raised in the past four days. A big, HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported the project. We will get your rewards to you as soon as we can. 😍

This is just the most perfect canon - the Benedictus from the Messa sopra Recordare Virgo Mater, sung by Luthien Brackett and Yvonne Eddy. If you want to hear the whole mass you can! Preorder the album, Ricordanze, on Bandcamp today #BandcampFriday

We have a new reward for our crowdfunder! Signed copies of the excellent new novel by the excellent Sarah Dunant.

Perfect for solving Christmas present problems before they even arise (and you’ll have time to read it, too, before you package it up).

Happy new year to you all! If you are feeling in need of benediction after last night, let Elspeth and Kristiina tell you about how *restorative* the Eucharist was to a nun at San Matteo in Arcetri. What a love song 😍 Full video at youtu.be/TvF74iqJZ9E

Audio not quite in its final version but still... if you need a bit of transcendence right now, this anonymous Magnificat ottavo tono could just be the thing for you right now. Thanks @leverhulme.bsky.social for the opportunity to record it. #earlymodern #nuntastic
