The Cathedral Series focuses on publications that particularly fit the needs of Catholic Cathedrals. This series is also popular with Parishes, as well as schools looking for quality literature that comes from the rich tradition of liturgical music. Several composers in the Cathedral Series represent some of the most revered names in liturgical music composition. Composers such as Leo Nestor, James Biery and James Chepponis have helped make this series a vital source for great literature. Dr. John Romeri is the editor. They are available through MorningStar Music Publishers.
