    I thought I would be able to bump a previous Discussion
    but we do not have one. So ...

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    And if there was music at your parish,
    perhaps tell us what you played/sang/heard.

    First sung Mass in several years. Instead of reviving Moe Greene's Thou visitest the earth, I tried to learn how slow Wood's Oculi omnium was capable of being sung: a very lovely piece (and that complement from a recovering anglophobe!) Not the usual Sunday crowd: biggest surprise was the stampede for the exits in the middle of America the Beautiful.

    Did anyone not use a Lutheran standby?

    In my town they'de all be lighting sparklers by the time we got to the third verse.

    We'll be doing, courtesy of CPDL,
    — Submit yourselves one to another by John Sheppard, an excerpt of Ephesians 5 which is actually the prescribed Introit[!] for Thanksgiving Day USA
    — Sing praises to the Lord by William Billings, an anthem composed for Thanksgiving Day
    — O praise the Lord of heaven, another piece by Billings, this one based on Psalm 148, whose text Billings expanded by adding his own lyrics about dragons and stuff. (We'll be expurgating those portions from what is otherwise a very nice piece.)

    What???
    What????
    You are 'expurgating' the dragons and 'stuff'???
    How unkind.
    Poor dragons!
    You aren't thankful for them???

    Here's this, from...
    Benedicite omnia opera Domini -
    O ye dragons and all deep, praise ye the Lord.

    Anyone celebrating the Memorial of St. Cecilia on Thanksgiving Day this year? Are there any available settings of the Responsorial Psalm (Psalm 149)?

    We will have a Sung Mass,

    Probably Mass II
    the Motets will be the Office Hymns of St. Caecilia
    will update with actual music later.

    Bumping from another thread ... A Hymn for St Cecilia (words by Ursula Vaughan Williams, music by me). Dedicated to the Choral Public Domain Library (on the occasion of its 20th anniversary).

    Score, sound file, and instrumental parts are published at CPDL.
    And here is a Dropbox link to the score, sound file, and instrumental parts, as well as the hymnal setting. Feel free to download the score and sound file and sing along (with many others) on Thursday, 22nd November, both Thanksgiving Day (in the U.S.) and St Cecilia's Day.

    Happy USA Thanksgiving Day!

    St David of Wales, Richmond Calif.
    Bilingual Mass 9:00 AM (the early time a bit of a shock for some of us)

    "We Gather together" KREMSER
    Missa brevis by yours truely
    Ps 145 to Norris in G
    Maurice Green "Thou vistitest the earth"
    De fructu (American Gradual, plus my attempt at Spanish)
    "Come ye thankful people, come" ST GEORGE'S WINDSOR

    Our 'Festival Choir' ringers coped valiantly with my penciled "Del fruto de sus obras" (one advantage of non-Catholic singers is that they can join me at Communion). I'll try to post something cleaned up for next year!
