Don't miss this stunning music list from Christ Church Cathedral, Montreal and Patrick Wedd, music director.

It's not uncommon for large parish churches and cathedrals to publish information about the service music in advance of the services. As more of these churches make better use of the internet, these lists are finding their way online.

Most of the time, these are plain text or PDF documents. The Montreal site, however, takes full advantage of its medium and is rife with program notes, pictures, biographical material and links to sound files (in many cases, more than one).

There are formatting issues, and the hymns aren't listed, but it's still worth a visit and worth keeping up with, I think.

In fact, I would say that the educational approach taken here is nothing short of prophetic and shows other music-listing institutions the heights to which they should aspire.

(thanks Aaron!)
