This is probably a big mistake, but I will ask anyway.
I would like to know if anyone who is in charge of Spanish Masses would consider using settings of the responsorial psalms in modal chant. Each psalm uses the traditional 8 psalm tones plus the tonus peregrinus on occasion, and is accompanied with a gospel acclamation from the antiphonale, with verse set, again, to a psalm tone. I am planning on setting the entire psalter, and I would appreciate feedback on this project.
I would be happy to share a bit of my background if that would help.
I send out the psalms at the very latest on the Monday before they are used. I am trying to get ahead of things and send them out seasonally, and I will likely get to this point close to the end of the Easter season.
I'll be following. Not sure if my folks are at the level of using them yet (currently they sing all responsorial psalms to Meinrad tone 8), but it would be a great resource to have!
