The Second Vatican Council ordered that the treasury of sacred music be preserved and fostered with great care. It also commanded that the Latin language be used in worship and Gregorian Chant be given pride of place in liturgical celebrations.

We are trying to fulfill these directives of the Church's Highest authority by singing polyphonic Masses with orchestra, a capella compositions and the propers of the Mass in Gregorian Chant.
