    We all have been providentially (literally) gifted by Commons 3. If you don't know this, you betta get on the Soul Train, post haste..
    But despite my clarion calling for a comprehensive chant/choral "hymnal," (the term is now inadequate), we received last night the endowment stipend for a wedding that just W/and I ministered, but was "family" enough not to specify a normative amount.
    With this we will purchase Dr. Peter Kwasniewski's choral compendium. We've done the same with purchases of FJN's Choral Anthology I, no parish expense, and Richard Rices' Choral Communio, no parish expense.
    This is how we roll.
    So, if you build it, they will come...and they will pay/fund.
    There are no liturgical mercenaries (what a bastardization of that term!) at work here.
    We are one for all, all for one. Dumas would be dumbstruck.
    Peter, I look forward to opening your gifts for our grateful choristers.
    A blessed Easter to you, P and to all.
    G'night.
    C

    I don't have a music budget, but generally can order what I want and the church pays for it. Every now and then, for something really expensive, I do my own creative accounting. I hold back enough from my tithe each month until it is paid for. It becomes a gift to the church in another form.
