Spanish Hymnal, Repertoire

    For Spanish-language music books and repertoire, many parishes (I think) default to Flor y Canto and Oregon Catholic Press. I understand that GIA has come out with Oramos Cantando -- We Pray in Song as a bi-lingual offering, and that CC Watershed has a project in the works.

    What would be good, solid reasons for eschewing Flor y Canto and going with Oramos Cantando instead? I'm especially interested in opinions and experiences from people who have worked with these books. I've hardly used either of them myself, and I would like to be better educated in this area.

    Does anything like LCSG or SEP exist for Spanish-language propers? Is anything like this in the works?

    Bilingual celebrations.

    If you have a mixed community (Hispanic/Anglo), and you want them to sing each other's music all together, Oramos Cantando seems like the way to go.

    I wrote a short "First Impressions" review of Orams Cantando a while ago. You can see my thoughts here:

    Not yet. But this is planned for (at the soonest) next year.
