emmaberry Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Hello! I am looking for Catholic music-not just Christian, but specifically Catholic. I am a convert to Catholicism from Protestantism, and so I grew up with Hillsong, Jesus Culture, and while those are good, I am looking for music that is authentically Catholic and/or biblical. Obviously, the Christian bands I previously stated have biblical music, but I mean music that is pretty much singing bible parseages/verses. I already know of Danielle Rose and Matt Maher, who are wonderful and very enthusiastic about Catholicism in their music. I would love to have more contemporary songs about the Blessed Mother! Most songs about her are either hymns, sung by a choir, or just corny. Anyway, this thread could also be a way for PMers to share great Catholic/Biblical music they've come across! Thanks for any replies. Edited June 30, 2012 by emmaberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 YES! To Audrey arsead! Also, check out[url="http://www.popple.us/"] Popple[/url]. They do a lot of retreat/camp work and are just plain goofy. Some of their songs make no sense whatsoever. but, they also have beautifully written, theologically sound music, too! Of particular interest might be "Forever Yours," a song to Mary!

Basilisa Marie Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 If you're into hiphop/rap (or could be! you never know!), pretty much all the music Phatmass does is fantastic. It's all solid.

inunionwithrome Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 That's okay, I listened to "Scarecrow and Tinmen" at a youth retreat in hs. I don't know about any "contempary" groups. I'm an old fogie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeoDuce Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Audrey Assad for sure, and Josh Garrels!!!!! His new album "Love and War and the Sea in Between" is the BEST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dells_of_bittersweet Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 try spiritandsong.com. These are all Catholic artists, although the quality is not quite at Hillsong levels yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatitude Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Bernadette Farrell has composed a beautiful rendition of Psalm 139, [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3czLPaU6cU"]O God You Search Me and You Know Me[/url]. Here it is sung by the Wells Cathedral Choir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
