Broadcasting out of London, England, our digital sacred music platform launched on Christmas of 2017 and spread without any advertising — truly the work of the angels! In our first five months were served 22,846 listeners in 33 countries — but then we had to pause our broadcast, as we were about to exceed what our small organization could afford in royalty licensing. Circling the globe we had listeners in the Americas: United States, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Jamaica, Colombia -in Europe: the United Kingdom, Italy, Ireland, Romania, Germany, France, Spain, Poland, Greece, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Slovakia, Netherlands -in Africa: Congo, Nigeria, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana -in Asia: China, Myanmar, Korea, Singapore, India, Japan, Vietnam -in Oceania: Australia, Philippines -in the Middle East: Lebanon, United Arab Emirates. We had been featuring recordings by well-known ensembles: the Benedictine monks of Solesmes, the Dominicans in Krakow, the Cistercians of Heiligenkreuz, the Tallis Scholars, the Hilliard Ensemble, and many other fine purveyors of sacred musical beauty. As Our Lord says, “the hireling deserves his wage,” and we could not pay the licensing fees to continue to supply this music digitally all over the world. After some internal reflection, we decided to relaunch, but to limit our reach solely to listeners within the United States. We then began collecting recordings from various liturgical ensembles who would require no royalties, and in 2025, on the feast of the Archangels, we were able to relaunch a second time. We now broadcast these excellent performances, mostly recorded during the celebration of Holy Mass, for which no royalties or licensing is required, and thus we have been able to recover our original goal of transmitting to the whole world. Please pray for the continued success and circulation of this ministry, and share!
we hope to build a permanent musical museum of polyphony and chant
This evangelization through technology serves many purposes: to build cathedrals in listeners’ hearts, that they may turn to God; to foster the growth of the aesthetic conscience, since Beauty is one of the three great transcendentals that brings us closer to God; and to provide a ready resource, via free iPhone and Android apps and URL access over the web — music that’s always available at one’s fingertips. This makes sacred music easy to share and easy to demonstrate. Talking about specific music without listening to it can confuse people, so share the sounds with sacredmusic.fm.

It all started when...
friends would ask what polyphony was. What is that? Do you get it at a pharmacy? The very word polyphony is in disuse and we are here to use any method to get the word into people's vocabulary again, the sounds into people's hearts again, and into their desire for beauty before The Lord again! This station is for all ages, and will show that Renaissance polyphony and Gregorian chant can bring joy and peace to our souls. After all, it is The Eternal Word, The Word of God in its most glorious musical setting. The gift we give at Mass could be just like this, and after all "who is like God?" Our gifts to The Lord of all creation could and should be the highest we can offer!
Our little non-profit is dedicated to the spread of polyphony and chant at Mass. This station is here to increase opportunities for all people to learn about polyphony by experiencing it, by listening.
We hope that over time, it will be exactly what people ask for to be sung at Masses everywhere.
May The Lord bless you and keep you, may He shine His face upon you and give you peace!
