Christmas participation
On this topic, do you guys expect volunteer choristers to sing both the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday? If not, which one do you push? Which one does your employer push?

Adding hymns to the liturgy
Regardless of what you do, I would caution against seeing the rubrics as suggestions rather than liturgical law. Disregard for what the Church asks us to do through the rubrics she sets forth is a large part of what has led us into the liturgical sw…

Tone-deaf youngsters
Music is indeed one of the main subjects and not a special. However, this is a small co-op for homeschoolers and meets only twice a week (once a week if one is in middle school). This is simply the way things must be resource- and size-wise, at leas…

Building a Quality Program
Get the clergy on board to sing the Mass itself (collects, dialogues, etc.). Few things feel stranger than a high-quality choral liturgy in a Cathedral juxtaposed with a celebrant who doesn't sing a word of the Mass.

Sprinkling Rite Music? - looking for dignified congregational settings in English
Perhaps it's annoying for me to suggest it, but just sing the Asperges! It's easily sung, and through repetition also easily committed to memory.

Practice Videos/Recordings for Polyphony?
Corpus Christi Watershed has many rehearsal videos for pieces of polyphony. They can be found under the "Lalemant polyphony" tab.

Rules for polyphonic Kyrie
While we're here, would there be anything illicit about using the Byrd 3 Kyrie in EF, OF, Ordinariate settings? It feels like a silly question to ask, I know.

Using your own equipment for a salaried job is extremely foolish I will second ServiamScores in saying that this is, in many situations, the only option. I have worked for several parishes as an organist, director of music, etc. and I did not have …

Entrance Hymn + An Introit Antiphon?
(OF) For those of you who only sing the entrance antiphon, what collections do you draw from? Do you have the people attempt any chanting during the introit, or is it cantor only? I work at an Ordinariate parish, and we typically (I'm trying t…

Are these books still in print? Can anyone direct me to a copy?

Entrance Hymn + An Introit Antiphon?
Do not let anyone tell you it MUST be one or the other. There is nothing at all in the GIRM to support this. In both OF and EF, it is permissible to sing a hymn before singing the introit. It is a great practice since it gives the congregation somet…

Favorite hymn reharm collections!?
"Free Organ Accompaniments to One Hundred Well-Known Hymn Tunes" by T. Tertius Noble is solid, in my opinion. I also sometimes use them for simple postludes on the recessional.

Also, could you link me to your alleluia peregrinus?

I'll be using this setting next Thursday. Thank you, James.

What responsorial psalm would be used for these circumstances in an OF setting?

It's a good thing that the reform renewed and solidified the use of the treasury of Gregorian chant!

Gloria from Mass VIII
Nova Organi Harmonia. They're (quality) accompaniments to the kyriale, graduale, etc.

Sanctus for Mass IX from the Hymnal 1940
I'll certainly do that if I need to, but I wanted to check the hive mind first before I went and reinvented the wheel.

Sanctus for Mass IX from the Hymnal 1940
Yes, I have that much, but as you'll see the second half of the Sanctus is not included in that score (nor in the 1940 at all, as far as I'm aware). I need a score which includes both the "sanctus" and "benedictus" sect…

America the Beautiful at Mass
Grammatical nuances aside, the hymn comes across as an ode to America (with perhaps honorable mention given to God). In my book, it's wholly inappropriate for Mass. Play God of Our Fathers if you're trying to do something patriotic which a…

Wedding Ordinary and Tenor/Baritone Duets
Two pieces of advice: 1. Go ahead and use De Angelis (or better yet Mass IX). Congregations don't sing at weddings. 2. Use any setting but the Schubert or Bach/Gounoud Ave. There are many, many better choices. Congrats on your upcoming nupt…

Corpus Christi Thursday/Sunday 2023
It's certainly strange to make one of the few sequences left entirely optional.

Comment by trentonjconn June 2023 permalink
Corpus Christi Thursday/Sunday 2023
Is the option to use the last 4 verses instead of the whole text, or to use either the last 4 verses or nothing at all? In the OF you may sing the whole thing, or the last four stanzas, or nothing at all.
