Does anyone have an accompaniment or know where I can find one for the ICEL "Our Father" that begins "do re mi mi?" I have the accompaniment provided by ccwatershed, but I can't seem to play it without it sounding like I've crashed a train. Thanks.
As it's the Gregorian-based version. If you don't like this accompaniment, there should be others around - Liber cantualis, for example, making allowances for the English text.
Alas, wouldn't you know it! The version at no. 722 in the back of the 1940 is better. Not only is it more near to the original chant melody, it is more gracefully adapted and more 'singable'. Catholics have done it again: re-invented the wheel.
Francois - Look at no. 722 in the back of your 1940 - it is pages 779-780. It is part of 'The Fourth Communion Service', which is, mostly, the cum jubilo ordinary with credo I (which was the sole credo of the Sarum Use).
