Post Your Weekly Parish Music Planning (Ordinary Form)
  • I think it would be helpful to have a thread where we who plan liturgies and/or music can "compare notes" and seek inspiration and ideas. As my work concerns a parish which utilizes Mass exclusively in the Ordinary Form, I'd ask that this particular thread be utilized solely by others who are planning liturgies and/or music for OF (Ordinary Form) Masses each week.

    To contribute to uniformity on the thread, I ask that everyone please utilize the following format when posting. Also, please keep questions to a bare minimum and criticisms non-existant on this thread to avoid unnecessary clutter. The purpose of this thread is solely to be a source of information, not a thread for discussion. Thanks in advance for getting into the habit of posting your parish's info weekly (or whenever there is a major Mass)!

    Once again, OF liturgies only, and please cut and paste this format when posting. If there is special music during a particular Mass (i.e. for a Baptism, Confirmation, Dismissal of the Catechumens and Elect, etc.) please included this in the proper place.

  • Dr. Mahrt, that is indeed impressive. Is this an EF or OF? I'm impressed that you are able to do the complete Victoria Mass (with Credo!). I'd love to be able to sing a liturgy like this.

    Yes, Dr. Mahrt. We are all sinlessly jealous!
  • My parish’s music plans are made available at http://music.ctrcc.com.

    It’s a pretty solid music program, all things considered. Not as much chant & polyphony as some may like, but there’s a healthy mix of other good stuff to be found.

    One notable piece for this coming Sunday is the Charles Wood “Jubilate in A-flat”. It’s based on the Old 100th tune and is pretty accessible - a bit tougher, I am finding, than it looks, but a lot of fun nonetheless. It really deserves to be a standard English choral anthem. Find it on CPDL.
