Here are some of the choice saints from the Ordinariate's Litany of the Saints - all in addition to the 'normal ones'... Saint Alban, Protomartyr of England Saint Patrick of Ireland Saint Ninian of Scotland Saint David of Wales Saint Augustine of Canterbury Saint Columba of Iona Saint Cuthbert of Lindisfarne Saint Chad of Lichfield Saint Etheldreda of Ely Saint Bede the Venerable Saint Friesdeswide of Oxford Saint Edward the Confessor Saint Anselm of Canterbury Saint John Fisher Saint Hilda of Whitby Saint Dunstan and Saint Oswald Saint Robert Southwell and all holy English martyrs Blessed John Henry Newman (and more...)
Well, Chris - The various response tones are not different at all. Making motives out of them for improvising a piece is not difficult - especially for our choirmaster, Edmund Murray, whose improvisatory gifts are superior even to mine (he even studied improvisation with Gerre Hancock). Just think of what Langlais (in Incantations pour un jour saint) did with the Lumen Christi and the litany of the saints of the Easter Vigil! Also what he did with the Carolingian acclamations in the last movement of the SuiteMedieval! Also, think of the compact litany-like thematic unity of the Alain Litanies - which were inspired by something so mundane as the litany-like clickety-clack on the tracks of a train he was riding.
Actually, our litany has a lot of the normal 'Roman' saints in it - it just has a lot of Anglo-Saxon and English saints to boot.
-ICEL Mass -Introit & Communion, Graduale Parvum -Responsory & Alleluia, Owen Alstott -Opening Hymn, Sine Nomine -Offertory Hymn, In Babilone -Communion Motet, Ubi Caritas -Closing Hymn, Old Hundredth -Post service music, Litany of the Saints (abridged, as Father needed to lock up)
Considering that, due to an unexpected time change, much of this service was, to put it euphemistically, extracted from the anal area, I'd say we did a bang-up job. (I'll have a recording later, for you to judge for yourself.)
Read Novus Ordo, no music at all except half a hymn instead of the Introit and half a hymn afterwards. No Glory To God, no Creed. Solemn three-fold blessing at the end of a very unsolemn liturgy.

Yes, I agree - it is another example of how he so effectively incorporated elements of the chant. Our Mass is this evening... We'll definitely do the Introit and Kyrie. I was hoping to have the Sanctus / Benedictus tonight as well, but that is unlikely at this point. I'll see how it goes at the practice before Mass.
Our goal by end of year is to have the Ordinary parts plus the Introit.

Ronk, Nice catch. I have no qualms myself and even if i did they certainly would be inglorious. Frankly, I'm surprised any one opened the file, since the only reason to do so seems be to nit pick. For the actual evidence of impropriety, I've attached the 1st page of the score to O Quam. Here is a link to the recording, which went pretty well considering the single rehearsal: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wc9hog0qosyl6rp/20171112.mp3?dl=0 I'm holding out no hope that anyone will actually open these files, but it gives me a chance to select my jpeg button. jefe
This reminds me of carpooling with a Russian immigrant violinist, who, along with many Jewish fiddle players were allowed to leave Russia during 1976-77 window of opportunity. That outflow decimated many of the Russian Orchestras' string sections. Marc Baronov said this when asked about his interesting use of English: "Sentence structure not suit strong." The Russian violinists swept every audition they took in the West during that era. I was on the auditions committee when four of them auditioned for and took the job with the L.A. Philharmonic.
