I just took screenshots of all the music and pasted it in a Google Doc. Then, I downloaded it as a PDF and used it to upload to CPDL. I also print it out that way for my choir. They need very specifi…

Shouldn’t Gregorian chant have pride of place? It’s hardly “boring” according to the Magisterium.

Some peoples’ “scholarship” is “I just do whatever I think sounds good” rather than singing based on hard evidence of a treatise or manuscript.

This song is definitely the “Gentle Woman” and “Gather Us In” of its day. Popularity often equals of dubious quality.

I think that cantors using microphones is probably a worse problem than anyone in the congregation singing loudly.

To answer the original question, it is perfectly fine to sing the Mass Ordinary when other things aren’t sung. Of course, the Church teaches us the ideals, but allows us the freedom to customize to o…

If she dominates the whole church, then maybe the organist needs to be louder.

Any priest who feels so inclined could choose to not follow the rubrics of the ‘62 or ‘55 missal. He could choose to celebrate versus populum. We have historical evidence of these things occurring be…

I’m very curious to which chants are on the list designated as “unapproved by exorcists”?

I have enjoyed going to Saint Constantine’s Ukrainian Catholic Church in Minneapolis. Also, Saint Maron’s. Holy Cross has a good choral program, but the choir may be on break in the summer.

Rules on when the organ is to be played/not to be played are generally ignored or selectively enforced. So, basically, I'd say do what makes sense for you.

I am responding to the questioner, who speaks of difficulties in singing. I posit that the difficulties he experiences are a result of imitating poor singing technique and could be solved by good sin…

I would suggest listening to recordings of Westminster Cathedral. Their choir has a very good open and strong sound. It is natural, without the vocal faults present in a lot of monk recordings. Breat…

I have used them regularly in previous jobs. I made this for Easter one year: https://docs.google.com/document/d/139deK1a5vyaf3RwggkfEcIsSpqrMe-3LFrti_k4IYMk/edit?tab=t.0

Along these lines, I tend to simply have the choir learn mostly Eucharistic music. Then they can sing that for Communion and throw in Offertories as we learn more.

This is my list for…
