Singing the Passion (Palm Sunday, Good Friday)
Argh, our Passionaries got covered with grime during repainting this Fall, and while I had set them out for cleaning after changing my clothes someone tossed them in a dumpster. Are notated versions of the lectionary English available anywhere onlin…

Hymns at funeral masses
Funeral planning forms often ask people to fill in hymns to be sung, and they write down whatever they can remember ("one's Yankee Doodle and the other isn't"). It would be better if they were asked instead if there were any hymn…

Ave Maria
We sing Bruckner (more often when we were 12-14 instead of 6-9), Stravinsky and Handl/pseudoVictoria, but mainly Josquin's …Virgo serena and Rachmaninoff's Bogoroditse.

USCCB-authorized provisional responsorial psalms from Abbey Psalms & Canticles
"The | Lord pro- | tects the | stranger" is what I already have us sing in lieu of "the Lord protects strangers." I'd most appreciate effort spent on new Responds, though.

I see CANTUS indexed him as Anskar! There seem to be two antiphons in an undigitized Polish manuscript.

Have you checked cantusdatabase.org? I don't get any hits for "Ansgar" but if you have titles that might lead to mss.

stemless … removes the temptation to apply particular rhythmic interpretation.One might expect so. There was a very lively thread on Anglican Musicians List though about the 'whole note' being 4 times as long.

(Late) Responsorial Psalm for Epiphany Composition PDF
I need a good warmup before any G-flats (unless I just sing the thing a 15th down ;-)), but I suppose my eight o'clock crowd would easily handle the respond a minor third lower. Jacob, do you plan to set the Lenten Psalms?

Nativity Proclamation
We've long done it before Adeste and at the end of a half-hour choral prelude, antiphonally with two cantors. Some day I'll have to ask about having it follow the procession and at the ambo, though.

The OLD Te Joseph celebrent
A propos the 'old', what hymn is in the 1570 books? Te Joseph has only one hit at Cantus, and the Feast only two. This page dates Te Joseph to the 17c (not 1632?).

OT: Impoverished Zeitgeist (Couronne de la Vierge de Fourvière)
Who exactly said "we don't do that any more"? The only disagreement I see is whether "That's no longer the mentality of the 21st century" has as antecedent 'nothing is beautiful enough for God' or 'it is …

Of course 'où' by itself is 'where' but 'où … donc' is indeed a different tenor.

OT: Impoverished Zeitgeist (Couronne de la Vierge de Fourvière)
You'll pardon me Serviam, but it does seem we're discussing aesthetics, and I tend to find the devil in the details. If we're just picking on the curator, I heard (with emphasis of my own): The Georgian artist Guji decided to create …

OT: Impoverished Zeitgeist (Couronne de la Vierge de Fourvière)
Are we similarly lukewarm about discarding Gounod in favor of the 'noble simplicity' of Tavener or revived plainchant? I'm unconvinced that copying the 1899 crown or exclusively using PD music is what God requires.
