Did you know that...

El Cantico del Alba, a devotional song about the Virgin Mary, was sung every single day by the mission inhabitants after they woke up? Sure beats an alarm clock doesn't it? Of course, they did have to sing it at dawn...

If you have RealAudio, you can hear what it would have sounded like. You can also order our Mission Music CD, with this song and many other authentic California Mission songs on it.
