Free Music For Christmas From The Vatican (MP3's from the Holy See)

The Vatican ^ | November 27, 2008

[Stoat]

 

 

 

Here are two links at the Vatican's website that you can go to for downloading free music for Christmas as well as other occasions.

 

Hymns for the Celebrations of the Liturgical Year, Pontifical Musical Chorus of the Sistine Chapel

On this page, the links to the MP3 files look like this   

It will probably be easiest to hover your mouse cursor over the note picture, right-click your mouse and select "save target as" to define where you want the file saved.

When the file is finished downloading it will be available to be played on your computer's MP3 player.  Windows users have Windows Media Player which plays MP3's just fine.

 

Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music - The Musical Offering in MP3

On this page the music file links look like this

Introitus: Puer natus

Follow the same procedure as above except hover your mouse cursor over the underlined / italicized text

A note on the technical stuff....please know that I remember what it was like when I was new to computers, and one of the worst parts about learning it was the rude, belittling and condescending attitude that I got from so many people who were farther along on the learning curve than I was.  This needlessly unpleasant experience made me resolve that I would always do my utmost to help others who have technical questions and to do it in as courteous and friendly a way as possible.

Please rest assured that if you have a question about some aspect of this or if I have not explained something clearly enough you can feel free to ask me and you will be treated with patience, respect, kindness and courtesy.  In my view, the only 'dumb' people in the tech arena are those without interpersonal skills and I will do my utmost to help you if you need it.  Everybody started out with computers at one point and it's a shame that so many have forgotten that they were beginners at one point also.

I'm sure that there will be other posters here who would be equally pleased to help....Free Republic is teeming with talented people.

 It's beautiful music and well worth your time, in my view  :-)

Thanks so much for posting the links. I’m one of those new on the learning curve, so I appreciate the instructions. I still have yet to learn exactly how to download from my iTunes to my iPod, and get it into the correct Playlist. But I’ll learn it, eventually! ;o)

As to your technical concerns, I must sadly confess that the portable MP3 player that I have is not an actual IPod...it's a 'generic' one which uses Windows Media Player and not ITunes for all playlist generation and sync functions.   I am hesitant to go through the steps involved with synchronizing music and generating playlists for my particular player when they will most likely not be applicable to your situation and may possibly end up causing more confusion than help as a result.  In fact, when I connect my MP3 player to the stoatputer, ITunes doesn't recognize it as being there....the "Sync to IPod" commands in the menus remain grayed out...probably because there's not an actual IPod connected  :-)  I sincerely apologize, but it appears that I'm not going to be able to help unless I were to run out and buy an IPod  :-)

I'm wondering if there might be an IPod owner who would be willing to help SuziQ with her question?

Thank you both very much for pinging your lists  :-)

I think that this year in particular Christmas will bring a time of much-need healing and joy for all of us regardless of where we live.

Sunday Afternoon Christmas Music Bump

Hoping that everyone is burning CD's of this wonderful, uplifting music to give to friends and relatives and perhaps considering burning a few extra to give to nursing homes and assisted-care facilities near you.

If you know how to burn a CD, you have the ability to bring tremendous joy to many people this Christmas.

If you have the hardware and software to burn a CD but aren't sure how to do it, please don't be shy about asking for help.  If I don't know the answer to your question I'm sure that someone else here will  :-)
