Time how long a verse takes, multiply by number of verses. Add 30-60 seconds between carols or choral solos.

Allow a buffer of 2 minutes before Mass for any surprises!

With the limited information available so far, we can say that the speed-up happened between 1992 and 2018; but we don't know who did it or why.

To allow for more commercial break…

Brosig was a Cecilianist and then he wasn't. Silesia was technically German during his life. I can talk your ear off about him ;)

Those of us in OCP-land are used to the constant rotation of the Alstott's Gospel Acclamations in R+A.

I noticed that out of the IX modes (really X with IXa and IXb), modes I-III …

It aligns perfectly with what he said as the Catholic chaplain at Duke.

I'm not surprised he wrote something like this. 13 years ago I auditioned for the Duke Catholic Center DM p…

Applied for about 20 positions a couple years ago because I was disgruntled at my current post. Sometimes the bridesmaid but never the bride, so to speak. Very discouraging and depressing because I t…

Coming up with a lot of nothing at Hymnary.org. There's a verse missing in many hymnals ("His dying crimson like a robe") that I want included.

Played for mother's mother's funeral in Germany 2016. German novus ordo with Gotteslob hymnal. Even German catholics sing quite well compared to USA.
Played for father's parents…

Counting my blessings I have never had this issue before. Worst we have is we start 2 minutes late while the wedding party lines up.

DeBruyn's setting of Gabriel's Message is great... as a last verse reharmonization.

Just venting that in 2020, OCP provided their keyboard accompaniment as a PDF, and have continued to offer R+A as a PDF (they call it an eBook, but it's ALSO printable), but with the 2025 revise…

I want to repeat what Dr. Bill Ramsey would say at chorale concerts before passing the basket for donations: "If you don't support the arts, they will go away."

It's very difficult to find cantors for our evening Mass, so I do the Elton John thing too. It's very good practice and a skill no one taught us in college/grad school.

The quiet movements to Mendelssohn I, III, and VI are really nice, and fit well as preludes for lots of different liturgies.

I had a chuckle as I realized I was reading this entire topic thinking this was about Vulpius, not Victory, and wondering how everyone was having these kinds of issues.

Is it necessary to announce the hymn if everything is in the worship aid?

No.
