    Ideas for music at Mass at men's retreat? There will be 4 professional male singers, TTBB, plus me/organ. Ordinariate setting, Solemn form Mass on October 14. Latin or English ok. Limited rehearsal time, so looking for something that pros could ace with limited direction and time to sing together.

    At Communion, maybe Tallis's "If ye love me" (originally in C major for men's voices, at CPDL) - or my own "If you love me" in B-flat major for men's voices (attached). I know the text is (nominally) for Easter VI, but it is often used at other times, too.

    The link is being weird (at least on my computer) but if you copy and past the whole link it works.

    Umm, the parenthesis breaks the link, so you have to use the link widget to get THE LINK. Here's the code:
