Please take a few minutes to listen to this beautiful sacred music, the “Gloria” from Mozart’s Mass in C. I particularly recommend the “Laudamus Te” (starting at 2:40): it absolutely soars.
Mozart himself was a sincere, if imperfect, Catholic who composed c. 60 pieces of sacred music over his short lifetime. We’ll be hearing from him again on this blog (this , by the way, is the inaugural post on Spes in Domino; I can’t think of a better beginning).
The performers, by the way, are local (are least for me): the Concorde Chorale & Phillips Exeter Academy Chamber Orchestra.
