    St. John Cantius in Chicago, Illinois

    Cantate Domino Choir (Women's Choir)
    We sang:
    - Licinio Refice (1885–1954), Missa in
    honorem S. Teresiæ a Jesu Infante
    - Johannes Brahms (1833–1897), Ave
    Maria
    - Domenico Bartolucci (1917–2013),
    Salve regina

    The men's chant choir sang the propers.
  • All of the Feroci stuff is accessible, which is why I've edited so much of it. Ditto his student G. B. Matucci, in the same Ms, though Matucci's stuff tends to be just slightly higher (maybe a step) in the tenor voices. There are several other Feroci Masses, but doing a whole Mass is quite a project, and I have my own music to write.

    Thank you for your time spent on this one! I am working on a clean edition of Palestrina's Missa de Beata Virgine a 4 -- quite a project -- so I understand completely! It takes a lot of time, double checking, referring back to manuscript, etc.

    It's always helpful if there is some edition out there with a mxml file that can be easily modified / improved. Sometimes the mxml files are so mumbo-jumbo'd it's easier to input the notes manually.

    Fun times.
