<br />
I would like to thank all the listeners who have supported us over these last months, and I hope that it has opened up for you a wonderful world of Catholic sacred music. I know it definitely has for me.<br />
<br />
Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart, and may God bless you, <br />

<br />
This week we'll be focusing very heavily on the Epiphany and its octave, with some excellent dedicated chant and hymns. Naturally, we'll also be continuing to play the carols and hymns of Christmastide in the rotation, concentrating especially on those carols with reference to the Magi. <br />

during Christmastide is <i>Quanno nascette ninno</i> (When the babe was born) a
pastoral or shepherds' song in the Neapolitan dialect from southern
Italy. The melody is known in English as the <i>Carol of the Bagpipers</i>, and from its original use among the <i>zampognari</i> of southern Italy it has also become a favorite of Celtic bagpipers as well.<br />
<br />The lyrics were written by St. Alphonsus Liguori, who served as bishop of Naples, and the song served as the inspiration for the better-known Italian Christmas carol<i> Tu scendi dalle stelle</i>.

<br />
We are now featuring a number of chants, hymns, carols, and traditional songs for Christmastide—as the secular world prepares to race on to another commercial holiday we are delighted to pause and bask in the Incarnation of Our Lord.Claudio Salvuccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08831694822879009083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282886759335657610.post-61955047659642362532018-12-26T17:15:00.000-05:002018-12-26T17:15:09.662-05:00Ad Situation ResolvedI am delighted to report that the ad agency has removed the offensive ad from the station, allowing us to live up to our name and enjoy beautiful Christmas music with all the joy and peace of the season. Thank you for sticking with us during this trying time. If you hear any other ads with objectionable content, please let me know ASAP.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I will post an update soon on the exciting new selections we'll be airing during Christmastide. Have a wonderful remainder of the season, and may God's blessings be with all of you.<br />

<i>Our hearts' joy reclineth in Presepio!</i>Claudio Salvuccihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08831694822879009083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282886759335657610.post-40439805067705607192018-12-19T12:31:00.000-05:002018-12-19T12:31:23.979-05:00A Personal Apology to ListenersFor many weeks now we have been happy to provide beautiful, uplifting sacred music, and the ads, while annoying, were morally unobjectionable and seemed a small price to pay for the programming.<br /><br />Now it seems that Radionomy is running disgustingly perverse ads that are not even appropriate for commercial secular radio—let alone this channel that it supposed to lift one’s soul to God. <br /><br />I am looking into what can be done about this and will report back. Hopefully there is some way that I can prevent them from ever playing on the station again.<br />
<br />
In the meantime—and it breaks my heart to say this—I would not let your children listen to the station.<br />
<br />
Again, my profound apologies.<br />

This famous passage from the Canticle of Canticles (Song of Songs) has long been associated with various Black Madonna icons and statues in Europe, and it also has been adopted in a special way by Catholics of the African diaspora.<br />

The American bishops have
designated November Black Catholic History Month in honor of the
feast of St. Martin de Porres on November 3rd as well as the birthday of
St. Augustine of Hippo on November 13th. <br />

Sick of sappy modern hymns? We're happy to announce there’s a
solution!<br />
<br />
Holy Nativity Radio follows the Traditional Catholic liturgical year—all year. Effortlessly enter into the spirit of the liturgy each
week with Breviary hymns, English
hymns, Introits, and Mass Propers, including music from the Sunday Mass as well as feasts such
as St. Nicholas, the Immaculate Conception, and St. Lucy. You'll find daily devotions emphasized throughout the week such as the Blessed Sacrament on Thursday, the Passion on Friday, and Our Lady on Saturday. And you'll be able to turn your home into a mini monastery, with proper Psalms for each canonical hour of the day from
Matins to Compline, following the classic Psalter of St. Benedict. Plus enjoy year-round favorites as well such as the Ordinaries of
the Mass, hymns, and sacred polyphony.<br />
<br />
Holy Nativity Radio draws from the rich Roman and Anglo-Catholic traditions and also
highlights unique sacred music native to the Americas as well as Byzantine
and other traditions from Europe and around the world. <br />
<br />
Holy Nativity Radio is a free service and broadcasts all over the world through the Internet 24/7.
Let us be the soundtrack for your domestic church.
