    Noel:

    Keep up the good work!

    Yes, I did visit myopus.com and, as always am impressed with your compositional skills!

    I suggest that everybody add a link from their sites and blogs to www.myopus.com for every link raises the google standing of this excellent Catholic music site.

    If you do a google search in : catholic music site you get:

    OCP
    Spirit & Song
    CMAA!

    Pretty impressive when a low-budget group assails the corporate giants, no?

    if you search Roman Catholic Music, I come up number 3! Not bad for someone who does NO SEO or marketing except here on CMAA.

    I also recently picked up catholicsacredmusic.com when it came available.

    People, if you write chorale preludes on hymns but scratch them out on paper, do not hesitate to contact me, the submission requirements above are for an ideal world.

    But I am on a deadline, so if interested in submitting or wanting a tune to write about, contact me, thanks!

    What about French-style settings of chant? For example I've got a Plein-Jeu and Cornet en Dessus based on Pange Lingua. They're kinda short, though.

    Short is fine, French is excellent. These are designed to be preludes to hymns, not lengthy, but to be used to introduce the hymn melody over a few weeks and also as an option to introduce the hymn.

    Chant hymns in popular use, like this one, are included.

    Let me get this straight:
    I write a piece based on a hymn tune.
    I send it to you.
    You do what with it?

    If chosen, it would be published in a book and you would receive royalties on any sales of the book.
