    Would anyone possibly have a copy or pdf of Terry's MUSIC FOR HOLY WEEK? I've been looking to obtain it all over but can't for the life of me find it.

    There needs to be research done on Terry's compostions and liturgical work. He was a giant.

    Agreed! He didn't mince his words, as in an article he wrote in 1929 (?) entitled 'Why is Catholic Music so bad?'

    To be noted that the scan is for the revised Holy Week, so you would be missing things cut, particularly on Palm Sunday, or moved around, or otherwise misled by the rubrics, though the settings provided could be used to reconstruct something appropriate for the pre-Pian rite if one cannot get ahold of an edition lacking the butchery.

    ...mince his words...
    An interesting historical witness for those who think that pre-Vatican II was a liturgical paradise!

    Straw man if there ever was one, particularly given that Terry was in a dream position for many years. Also, there was a reverence for the rites and their richness, and their complexity, that is simply absent today. Obviously, we shouldn’t settle for bad music or poor execution, but the various reforms have not on the whole made things better, and doing the best that you can do is still impoverished compared to the same before the 1950s.

    ^if you mean the Palm Sunday version where the response ends “Fiat voluntas tua”, I imagine that it’s in earlier editions.
