Name that Album!

From CPH:

Name That Tune

We need your help naming a new product. Since Treasury of Daily Prayer was released from Concordia Publishing House in Fall 2008, we have received many requests to record the various prayer services.

CPH, working closely with the Kantorei of Concordia Theological Seminary, will provide a set of beautiful recordings of the sung and spoken portions of the prayer services offered in the Treasury. Included are:
• Matins (8 tracks)
• Vespers (6 tracks)
• Compline (9 tracks)
• Morning Prayer (7 tracks)
• Evening Prayer (8 tracks)
• Litany (1 track)

The Kantorei is a choir of sixteen male voices from the student body of Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The recordings have been prepared to allow an individual, family, or even a small group to have the support to confidently sing the liturgy of the prayer services.

While this will be a wonderful complementary product for the users of Treasury of Daily Prayer, others who desire to connect their personal devotion time to the Church’s pattern of prayer will find this to be a rich and meaningful resource.

So get creative and send us your best suggestion. The poll is open through Friday, October 9, 2009.

Give us your ideas. Visit here to vote.

I shall be the first in line to acquire such a wonderful aid! Coming from mainline Protestant churches, I have a steep learning curve when it comes to Lutheran Liturgy. I don't suppose CPH would consider doing the same for the 5 Divine services?

Myrtle... you are in luck. It has already been done and is available for free... for now...

You can download a ton of audio files directly from the LCMS website. If they do get pulled down... just contact me (leave a comment on my blog). I'd be happy to set you up with them.

Sam, what is being done with the upcoming CD is 1000% better than what is available on the LCMS website. But yeah, as you point out, this will help you to learn it... I just can't imagine myself listening to the LCMS audio files as I drive.

How about the psalm tones in LSB? Is there any audio file available for them anywhere?
