Peter Latona

Dr. Peter Latona has been on my mind a lot the past few months. While I have only met him once several years ago, I do have occasion to correspond with him in my editorial work at MorningStar.

Peter serves the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC as Director of Music. He’s considered one of the pre-eminent liturgical musicians in the United States, and his reputation as an organist, conductor, and recording artist is known here and abroad. He is dedicated to providing the highest standard in sacred music within the context of Roman Catholic Liturgy.

At MorningStar, we strive to publish liturgical music that makes a meaningful contribution to the repertoire. As you prepare for Lent and Easter, perhaps looking for some new ideas, take a few minutes to explore these tried and true editions, from Hal Hopson’s subdued Lenten Prayer to Randall Thompson’s iconic Alleluia.
