Live stream and careers
When I was in school for voice, we were advised to only allow things on the internet that were representative of our current technical level. However, as we now know, more and more the internet is forever. Live-streaming archives makes it hard to ju…

Sequence for Pentecost
The modern age really doesn’t want to pray, does it? Sad commentary that we are cutting prayers. We should want to do more for God, not less...

The more comments I read on the Internet, the more respect I lose for people... IF the pope demonstrated doctrinal orthodoxy, and IF he wasn’t constantly blurring the lines between socialism and Catholicism, then perhaps his other teachings would b…

Cause if it was longer, everyone would miss the end of The Ten Commandments on ABC after the vigil.

Palm Sunday 2021
As aside, many of the Lutheran passions (Bach etc) were non liturgical. The Bach passions for instance were written for an evening vespers-like service, and did not replace the liturgical recitation of the passion that occurred earlier in the day at…

What have you done without the use of worship aids/hymnals/missalettes?
Single use worship aids, booklet format, 8.5x11 paper. I print readings, hymns, service music, creed, antiphons and st Michael prayer.

Petty annoyances from the U.S. Lectionary for Mass
Don’t worry, they’ll change it again in a few years and we’ll have an all new translation

Alle Menschen müssen Sterben for EASTER?
Seeing Alle Menschen in this thread title had me really hoping the OP was going to ask if they could do Ode to Joy at Easter mass.

Seems pretty immoral to me to restrict access to the sacraments based on medical records.

Can the Gradual be sung in English in the OF?
What translations of the gradual chant did they use in the Graduale Parvum?

Can the Gradual be sung in English in the OF?
What would it take to get an “approved” translation of the gradual/tract texts? What office handles this?

Modern Hymns and 3/4 or 6/8 Time Signature
Besancon, Ash Grove, and Venez Divin Messie are all folk tunes or carols borrowed into the church hymn repertoire. There are people who think that the church music of the 70s and 80s such as Gather Us In is also folk music, and that composers of suc…

Transitional mass settings
Wow, that is awesome! I didn’t really expect anyone to have it. Do you have any other similar music from this era? Or was this sort of a one-off thing? Thank you so much!

Two-part/duet psalm settings?
For R&A psalms, have them sing the choral harmonies. Sometimes the tenor/soprano parts sound better than soprano/alto, but they could even sing the verses in harmony.

Anglican liturgy before Oxford
In my experience, Protestants that use that definition of catholic usually do not capitalize the “c”. The Presbyterians would sign that definition.

Chant-Based Mass Setting
The missal chants can be done with choir harmonies. They were sung in 4 part harmony at the CMAA donors mass broadcast this past November, I think the settings were done by Peter Carter.

If rates of infection are something that can even be believed. Even the WHO has changed the goalposts on what now constitutes a COVID infection. Wearing a mask when infectious is not a bad idea. It’s the treating all the healthy people as infectiou…

This piece also works really nicely as an organ/solo voice motet as we discovered toward the beginning of the pandemic

Yes, sad situation. The organ had just been completely restored and expanded with Walker digital stuff a handful of years before the merger. Dickinson College bought the Allison building and didn’t want the organ. A shame because the College doesn’t…

NOH Volume V in LilyPond
Yes, just create a bid of code that replaces a note head with the symbol for the quilisma. Hen you can eliminate Gregorian.ly and I think you will be very pleased with the resulting layout changes. I was advised by the Lilypond email forum years ago…

Very interesting! In your video I noticed the 4K’ flute triangulare is from the Allison UM Carlisle organ. I sang with that instrument several times! They used to host an annual community Handel’s Messiah choir. Glad some of the instrument is still…

Devils advocate: Metered and free time are blended in Renaissance settings of office hymns, where chant and polyphony alternate. But wow, I hope liturgyresource is not the familiar sound of Catholicism
