]]> SATB for Flor y Canto III? https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/23054/satb-for-flor-y-canto-iii Tue, 06 Jan 2026 02:46:36 +0000 DominicanCantor 23054@/forum/discussions
It feels like OCP thinks that musicians in Spanish-speaking communities are musical simpletons with colorful sombreros and seven tamales locked and loaded in their ponchos at all times. They provide such shallow coverage of Spanish-language music:

EVERY OCP Flor y Canto III resource I have seen includes only melody on most things, the occasional poorly written alto line, and like maybe 10 usable SATB arrangements.

Does anyone know where I can find the SATB arrangements that they include in many recordings, like this one? The hymnal resources are all in unison or lame 2-part harmony. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoDxiLHlGyI&list=RDIn-UV6wEKFo&index=3]]> Spanish Music https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/19227/spanish-music Sat, 31 Jul 2021 16:27:16 +0000 fatherlouseattle 19227@/forum/discussions Come Holy Ghost (LAMBILLOTTE) in Spanish https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/22566/come-holy-ghost-lambillotte-in-spanish Thu, 19 Jun 2025 13:22:31 +0000 btodorovich87 22566@/forum/discussions Spanish music programs of note https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/22491/spanish-music-programs-of-note Fri, 16 May 2025 15:00:59 +0000 btodorovich87 22491@/forum/discussions

I have been tasked with singing the Exsultet for the Easter Vigil this year in Spanish. This will be my first time and I am very excited.

In my search for settings that are faithful to the original Latin melody, I came across a setting put together by Fr. Matthew Spencer O.S.J. in an earlier forum post. His setting was put together in 2009, before the approved Misal Romano tercera edicion for the US. I used Fr. Matthew's setting as a template and created a version that has the text from the latest Misal Romano. I had to adjust the spacing and edit post production in Adobe to get a good reading that would take into consideration page turns! I am by no means a pro with chant editing software but I did my best to clean up the score and tidy it up. I hope this may be of use for anyone else!

I plan to do a few audio recordings soon as well! I am not an ordained minister so I will be singing the long form for non ordained version.

Que viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!

From time to time I sing at a Spanish Mass at my parish and have put this adaptation together with the hope of this being a good stepping stone to Gregorian chant for the Spanish speaking population. Hope this setting can help aid other Spanish speaking parishes. I am unsure of the exact release date but I am hoping for it to be available by Lent!]]> Spanish Responsorial Psalms https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/21858/spanish-responsorial-psalms Wed, 07 Aug 2024 23:29:48 +0000 Claire H 21858@/forum/discussions

]]> Mass in Spanish - Source of the Lectionary? https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/16633/mass-in-spanish-source-of-the-lectionary Mon, 26 Nov 2018 20:39:14 +0000 laurenmarch 16633@/forum/discussions
I am currently working with my accompanist in compiling a book of entrance and communion antiphons and VERSES in Spanish, for use during Mass. I would like to use psalm verses to go with each antiphon, however, I'm struggling to find the approved translation of the psalms for use in Mass in Spanish in the United States. For example, the New American Bible is the approved translation for Mass in English. Do any of you know what the approved biblical translation for Masses in Spanish are in the United States? And if so, where can I get a copy?

Thanks in advance for your help!

In Finland when you take part in mass, in every church there is a hymn book available. That book contains about 650 hymns with lyrics, notes and chords. Priest chooses about 10 hymns which all sing together during the mass.

Is there a similar hymn book used in Catholic mass in Spain? I would like to learn to sing and play Spanish hymns with piano.

1) I'm looking for Spanish Lectionary Psalms. The Spanish Choirs here are not fond of OCP's R&A. I have yet to check out GIA's new bilingual ones , but I am wondering if there are any more out there? I know Chanabel has common Psalms, but we would like either the Lectionary or New Grail Translation if available.

The Spanish choirs are very open to trying to sing the Communion Propers, but there does not seem to be much accessible resources given that most of the directors do not read music well, and currently find chant too much of an alien language.

In time, I am planning to start a bilingual chant education program, but due to the current culture and lack of financial resources, it's going to take time to take off. I need something that's equivalent to the Motyka Propers to get them started, hopefully by this Advent. The Marello project seems incomplete, and Janet's project is wonderful, but too difficult for now.

Does anyone know of any simple Spanish Communion Propers that are (well) written in modern notation with accompaniments and perhaps some chords. Some groups have piano skills, others just guitar. Fortunately they are musical players that are sensitive to the liturgical sensibilities that is required. They just need some guidance and are very eager to grow.

I would be happy to try composing some Communion Propers, but unsure of where to start. Is the Graduale Romanum translated in Spanish (with imprimatur) available? Or will we have to go with the Antiphons in the Misal Romano that is coming out?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.]]> De fructu/De dones tuyos https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/20436/de-fructude-dones-tuyos Wed, 23 Nov 2022 07:42:24 +0000 Richard Mix 20436@/forum/discussions Credo III in Spanish? https://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/20403/credo-iii-in-spanish Thu, 10 Nov 2022 21:12:12 +0000 EMH 20403@/forum/discussions
