Today begins our second episode focusing on the Exsultet. Last week we featured a conversation with Fr. Paul Turner about the historical context of this sacred chant. If you missed it, it can be found wherever you listen to podcasts and at ministrymonday.org. This week we speak to Nicholas Will,  Director of Liturgical Music, Organist & Lecturer at Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg, Maryland. 

This episode is unique in its truly didactic approach. As a result, it is perfect for the priest, deacon, cantor or other elected layperson who is preparing to sing this Exsultet this year. Nicholas takes us through learning the Exsultet, step by step, even if you don’t have a musical background. 

This episode in particular is most beneficial in its video podcast version! We recommend watching it, especially if you are learning the Exsultet this Lenten season. The video version of this episode can be found on NPM’s YouTube channel, NPM livestream, and in the show notes of the episode at ministrymonday.org.
