 I noticed your post on yesterday's Chant Blog. So the chant is in safe hands even though you tube may have deleted the older version. I will look for Cologne Cathedrals
;s celebration this year. I am taking the day off and will attend evening Mass and chili supper at St. Bartholomew in Atlanta/Decatur.
