I can't tell you the joy this day brings me, as we honor St. Cecilia on this her feast day - the patron saint of musicians in general, and vocalists and organists in particular.
Deepening my devotion to her has moved me to search for music dedicated to her. I found the major works: Hymn to St. Cecilia, by Benjamin Britten; An Ode for St. Ceclia's Day, by Georg Friedrich Händel; and Ode to St. Cecilia, by Henry Purcell.
May all musicians pay her the homage she is due. St. Cecilia, pray for us.
