Music List Sharing

    I've been thinking that it would be nice to have a thread where we can just share our rep lists for random liturgies or sacred concerts of any sort - it's always fun to discover obscure composers or hidden gems from colleagues!

    Our Lady of Knock - Latin Novus Ordo at St. John Vianney Church, Colonia NJ

    Propers: BVM Mediatrix of All Graces
    Ordinary: Mass in F - Charles Wood (1866-1926)

    Prelude: 6 Occasional Preludes, Op. 182: No. 6, At Even-tide - C.V. Stanford (1852-1924)
    Processional: Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken (ABBOT’S LEIGH)
    Offertory: Magnificat in B-flat - Sir Charles Villiers Stanford
    Communion: Ave Maria - Seán Tunney (b. 1996)
    Communion: Ave Maria! O Maiden, O Mother - Laurence Ampleforth (1846-1929)
    During the veneration of a relic of Our Lady's veil: Lady of Knock - Dana Rosemary Scallon (b. 1950), arr. Johnum Palado & Sonia Wang
    Postlude: 4 Intermezzi, Op. 189: No. 4, Intermezzo Founded upon an Irish Air - C.V. Stanford

    Stanford was born in Dublin, Wood was born in Armagh, and my friend Seán Tunney is the Assistant Director of Music at the Knock Shrine in County Mayo. Wood's Mass is really lovely (particularly the SAT trio in the Benedictus) and not very well-known, definitely worth checking out! SATB + organ, no divisi, accompaniment is interesting but not too difficult.

    We're not in the league of the above posts, but here's our 2026-7 rehearsal schedule for a unison group that sings chant and congregational hymns.

    I once shared a repertory list in another thread. One also can search for threads on specific feasts (All Souls, for example), or start one on say, OT 22 A.

    I'll post my 2027 repertoire list once it's finished.

    We do have somewhat regular threads about feast day programs, so I'm diverging a little from the OP and just posting our complete planned repertoire for 2027, excluding hymnal rep (CBW III and Traditional Roman Hymnal) and Gregorian propers. I'm hoping this might be useful to someone, and it is indeed something that would have been useful for me 3 years ago when I started.

    Tuned it up a little since yesterday, not finalized, but I knew I would forget if I waited. There's no schedule here a la Probe, just a list.
    -12 pieces will be removed from the 2026 rep; 19 pieces added; 49 keepers.
    -About 40% of the polyphonic rep is 16th C. and that bothers me.
    -Tenebrae rep not included.
    -The difficulty is fairly dialed in to be attainable (bearing in mind how much is retained and repeated over years) for an amateur choir with at least 1 solid voice in each section and weekly practice (with occasional extra practice).
    -The Schola Supplement (selected polyphonic propers, polyphonic antiphons for occasions like Ash Wednesday and Candlemas, and some prelude/postlude stuff) is a little aspirational and we aren't likely to sing all of it.

    We’re basically only interested in that at the moment. (Renaissance in general I mean). We don’t have the resources to do classical. We also don’t like it as much. Baroque, especially early or very cantus firmus/chant like, yes (I just discovered a late baroque Ave Maris Stella where they sing the chant ornamented by instruments). But again, no resources, not at the moment.

    I don’t have anything really against it; St Joseph’s in Detroit often does Rheinberger in summer. I know that Stimson likes Gounod. But the polyphonic repertoire is incredibly vast, and that’s where our interest really lies.
