Sacred Heart launches first CD

The Sacred Heart Traditional Choir yesterday launched its first CD, entitled Resurexit, at the Sacred Heart Church. The launch was led by Fr Allan Ventor and blessing of the CD was performed by Archbishop Tsherrig.  Molly Guy, who is the Choir’s musical director and co-producer of the CD along with Simeon L Sandiford, presented copies of the CD to Ventor and Tsherrig. The choir, which has been in existence for over 50 years, is one of the few church choirs which maintain the tradition of singing the traditional Latin Mass and other Latin polyphonic hymns. Fittingly, the Latin title meaning “He has risen” was chosen.

According to the Church this CD, which includes selections such as “Ave Verum” by Wolfgang Mozart and “Panis Angelicus” by Cesar Frank, was recorded as a, “dedication to our beloved country of Trinidad and Tobago in this her hour of great need.” The CD is available at Living Waters Dominican Book Centre Ltd in the North, Sanch Electronix in the East, Nazareth House Bookstore in the South and Scarborough RC Church Bookstore in Tobago. The cost of the CD’s first production run was underwritten by the CL Financial Group.
