Liturgical Music for the 50th International Eucharistic Congress 2012 announced - The musical repertoire for each of the liturgies of the Congress from 10 to 17 June has now been released. The goal of the music programme for IEC2012 is to encourage the entire assembly to participate as fully as possible in the liturgies of the week. A core choir will lead the music each day with the participation of many others gathered in the RDS and, on the final day, in Croke Park. We hope to involve choirs and singers from all Ireland. It is important for choirs to register for the Congress as soon as possible. We suggest that you register as a group, giving your choir name as the group name and send an email to our offices. To book for the Congress go to www.iec2012.ie/registrations or call 0035312981122. To download the music for the Congress go to www.iec2012.ie/music
