Testimonials
The mission of Angelico Sacred Music is to create
Neo-Renaissance-style compositions of popular Catholic prayers in the English language.
ASM identified and chose this mission after noticing a gap in the sacred music landscape: a lack of musical settings of popular prayers that are rooted in the classical tradition, yet add a contemporary flavor, and provide English-speaking Catholics with beautiful choral music written in their mother tongue.
We hope our musical art creates an artistic patrimony for the Catholic faith in 21st-century America, and allows American Catholics the opportunity to offer this art as our own unique gift to our Mother, the Church, which spans across the globe and across every age.
"He who wishes to paint Christ's story must live with Christ."
-Blessed Fra Angelico

Testimonials
“Angelico Sacred Music is an amazing organization led by a very dear friend of ours. We are honored to support Ryan and ASM as we strongly believe in its mission to bring this beautiful, English-based sacred music to Catholics. Listening to the Our Father or other ASM compositions transports you spiritually to a different time - a time when classical music and sacred scripture were intrinsically intertwined. We look forward to continuing to see the fruits of Ryan's labor!”
-Keith and Sandra Nedell,
ASM Patrons (Scottsdale, AZ)
"My choir had the privilege of working with Ryan Everson and Angelico Sacred Music on
his arrangement of "Our Father." Ryan's passion, humility, and desire to share the love of the Father through the beauty of sacred music was so clear to us. He is working to
use his God-given musical talents to invite others into the sacred space that music sung for the glory of God creates. Ryan's love for our heavenly Father and sacred music is inspiring to all of us and certainly shines forth in his directing. Hearts and minds will be touched and changed by his humble choice to be an instrument in God's hand."
-Mary Karol Schmitz,
Alto, Cappella (University of Mary '27)
“Sacred music rises to the very heart of the Father. When I listened to Ryan's
composition of the Our Father, my soul seemed to rise with it and I felt the most
beautiful connection to God that I cannot explain. We need sacred music in our laboring lives of distractions and busyness. I am a patron of Angelico Sacred Music because I want to support the incredible charism of music that our Lord has given Ryan ... We all need to do our part to help this ministry in prayer support and as patrons in any way we can.”
