Love the double descants. The year we sang them at the Colloquium in Pittsburgh was such a life highlight

"I Vow To Thee, My Country" for Memorial Day?
A required prayer can hardly be an abuse, can it? Since there are American holidays with official liturgies, this statement puts you in an awkward position, Chris. For the OP, yes, I vow to thee my country is a perfect hymn text for the sentiments…

Gregorian Chant has "pride of place": English or Latin?
Add to Hawkins’s comment the fact that Gregorian chant had 2 or 3 different officially licensed forms in Pius X’s lifetime, and things could get pretty muddy. But to answer the original question, in today’s climate English chant is a great idea

"I Vow To Thee, My Country" for Memorial Day?
Chris, do you consider the Salvum fac a liturgical abuse? I saw a video of them singing God Save the King at the end of mass at Brompton Oratory after Elizabeth II died. What about that display of specific national patriotism?

Schubert/Liszt Ave Maria
It’s not an art song, but a piece from a stage show. A heroine in distress flees into a cave or the mountains or something, and in her distress prays to the BVM. The opening and ending Ave Maria is original, but the rest of the text was in German an…

Recommendation: Children's Book about the Mass
What the heck does this thread have to do with the book? Sometimes you guys make this forum unreadable with the hairsplitting and squabbling

Whose fault is it that we use bad music and what can we do about it?
I think he fell into the same trap that ICEL fell into with the 2011 Missal Gloria. Music has to be interesting before people to want to sing it, and Gloria XV and the funeral ordinary just don't pass the interesting test.

Lumen Christi Hymnal: out of print?
I think all the print editions of the former Lumen Christi Missal company have been suspended in favor of the Source and Summit digital platform. The content of the LC Missal, Hymnal, and Simple Gradual are all available on the digital thing. Bartle…

Piano to Organ- need tips
There is an organ arrangement of Eagles Wings in the Ignatius Pew Missal accompaniment book. Idiomatic to the instrument, features the vocal melody in the soprano most of the time.

New Liturgy of the Hours Hymnal
The King James with its literalism, archaic word order, and nested clauses served Christians for hundreds of years. It even spawned now famous phrases in colloquial speech and literature. It’s also a fallacy that the texts need to be understood from…

New Liturgy of the Hours Hymnal
I think the problem with the English translations resulting from Liturgicam Authenticam is that they are not literally enough! The real travesty is the incredibly inane Nabbish Bible and translating the psalms so they have the same accentuation pat…

American Copyright Law... Protecting the Composer or Tying the Church's Hands?
I used to think this way as well, and then I saw how much money my parish spends in a year. Unless the parish is struggling, missalettes are budget dust to pastors. I still think disposable missalettes are sinfully wasteful (we currently have Sourc…

Presidential Prayers for the Roman Missal
They are not notated at CanticaNova, but they are pointed for chanting to the tones found in the missal appendix.

Whose fault is it that we use bad music and what can we do about it?
Michael, I would counter that all cultural changes which move a parish toward a reverent NO, are re-adoptions of tradition. So if the old practices are the more Catholic practices, then why change the mass in the 60s at all? Merely introducing vern…

Holy week 2023
Chris, O Sacred head is from a Catholic Latin poem (mis-)attributed to St Bernard. So there’s that. What bothers me is substituting other things for the ritual texts/melodies. The Allegri is beautiful and moving, but so are numerous settings of the…

Here is a fauxbourdon for alternate verses. Not a descant unfortunately, but something different.
