    Look at the composer name on any of the many scores of his works that he has posted here.

    He posted these very preces & responses and suffrages here for discussion quite some months ago. I recall being impressed with them and suggested he send them to our choirmaster. It was really nice hearing them at evensong today. They fit very well. I also recall that Chuck and several others had favourable comments, and that we all had suggestions for some voice-leading that Salieri was concerned about.

    I remember that Salieri has signed some of his posts here... A quick search would find them.

    Thanks for your concern, MJM, but I don't mind at all -- especially considering that, as Chuck notes, I have routinely put my name on my scores. (Of course, that's assuming that that isn't a nom de plume {villainous laughter}.) I also, if I remember so to do, put my forum name on my Colloquium name tag. (Just don't send me any e-mail chain letters or pharmaceutical adverts.)

    At any rate, thank you, Jackson, for the mention: I hope that all went well last night at Evensong. It was enjoyable to write these responses, and I am glad they have been found useful.

    S. (aka, Henry Gaida.)

    Incidentally, Jackson, which Psalter do you use at Walsingham?

    Coverdale.
    The psalter of the Ordinariate.

    Yes, but "The Cathedral Psalter", "The Parish Psalter", ... ?

    Oh, you mean which chant-pointed psalter?
    I'm sure that Edmund uses a variety of sources.
    I would consider John Scott's The Anglican Psalter (nee The St Paul's Psalter) to be definitive for modern use.

    In addition to Scott's, I lean heavily on The New Cathedral Psalter Chants and The Anglican Chant Book, both pub. by Novello. These later two are chants only.

    I'll ask Edmund about his sources when I see him Sunday and get back to you. He does use some rather esoteric-but-nice ones from time to time, mostly for evensong when the choir sing the psalter alone.
