New praise for TLCA! 

"What a wonderful collection of accessible proclamations of God's word in a vocabulary adaptable to a wide variety of music ensembles with extreme flexibility. Thanks for taking the time, effort, skill and muse to put it all to paper and share with us all in this new endeavor.

My best to you and compliments. This will be a great resource for me - thank you."

Peace,

New Recording: Psalm 40 

From TLCA, for January 18, 2015 • 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B
Download a digital copy instantly!



Note: The main purpose of this recording is to help musicians learn it quickly, so to save time, the Refrain is sung twice at the beginning and once at the end. Of course, during the liturgy, the Refrain would be sung after each verse.
