At Saint Barnabas in Omaha, we sing the non-alleluia Pascha nostrum to tonus peregrinus, which has worked very well.

A number of metrical Latin psalters were created in the sixteenth century; however, none were ever approved for use in the Catholic liturgy. I don’t think any of these are available in modern edition…

The name-calling in the footnote, which denigrates anachronistically the liturgical observances and ecclesiastical artwork of the late Middle Ages, would not pass muster in more recent academic forum…

Word is entirely adequate for any worship aids I have ever seen. Those entirely eschewing this use might, I submit, not know fully the software’s capabilities. One knows, of course, the general super…

Several accurate, attractive, highly readable semi-facsimile editions were published in the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, all the color scans of these I’ve seen online use originals with very di…

You’d need a score capable of representing the different note values used in all the music from Merbecke’s Booke of Common Praier Noted. Equalist renderings of these works are serious debasements of…

Burgess died in 1948, so I guess copyright would hinge on whether the RSCM (the current publisher of the English-language version) has renewed the copyright. My very strong feeling is that it’s an or…

Yes, this is in fact the same Mass ordinary that Francis Burgess published with English texts, including a polyphonic Gloria and a Creed, the latter Vatican/Solesmes IV with organ accompaniment.

Sorry for barking up the wrong branch of the tree: I didn’t look past the Kyrie file. I’ll find a copy of the English-language version and compare it with this edition. I suspect that you’re right ab…

Missa Seraphica was created/composed by the English scholar-musician Francis Burgess (1879-1948). It was originally published in the Anglo-Catholic (very ‘high church’ Church of England) series ‘Litu…

Overall the adaptation is quite good. The chants are discreetly edited to fit the English text, which is largely taken from the KJV. It’s obviously difficult to place melismas on the same words in th…

There's also a very nice hymn text by Calvert Schenk.

This is an Anglican book: be sure to compare diligently with the Latin.

The applicable liturgical documents are clear about not using instruments during Lent except for accompanying voices.
The notion that preludes and postludes are 'technically' outside …

Organ, just for accompanying hymns.
I'll slip in a free accompaniment on Laetare.
No preludes/postludes.
No obbligato instruments.
My pastor is big on this pattern, as am…
