When was the last time you sang with others in your living room?

For generations, music-making in the home was a normal, even essential part of life. Families gathered around pianos, firesides, and dinner tables to sing, passing on culture and faith through shared song. But in the age of streaming and passive listening, this deeply human practice has largely disappeared—and something vital has been lost.

Musica Domestica is an invitation to recover it.

Created by musician Andrew Goldstein and artist David Clayton, this two-volume series offers a practical and beautiful path for restoring a culture of song in the home. Designed especially for beginners—parents, families, and community leaders—it provides step-by-step guidance, rich reflections, and a curated repertoire of sacred and secular music, all supported by accompanying audio and video resources.

Volume I, Chants, Hymns, and Folk Songs, gathers the essential melodies that have formed Catholic life across centuries—music meant to be sung in seasons of celebration, prayer, and daily life. Volume II, Psalms and Canticles, leads families into the Church’s great tradition of sung prayer through the Liturgy of the Hours, sanctifying the day.

Together, these volumes form a unified vision: a home where music is not outsourced but where worship and leisure, tradition and creativity, all find their voice in song.
