Nothing so high brow as above, but I discovered that "All Praise and Glad Thanksgiving" (in Choral Praise) sounds excellent with three men (Bass, Tenor, Melody, drop the Alto line) singing unaccompanied.
Assumption Grotto in Detroit: Pachelbel Mass setting, all of the Propers, Men's schola singing Introit, Offertory and Communion and the Ladies schola the Gradual and Alleluia. Laudate Dominum by Pitoni for Offertory and Ego Sum Panis by Palestrina for Communion. It was a Renaissance Sunday!! Also, a composer's name who starts with "P" Sunday. : )
Trinity Sunday approaches again. Here's a draft of a simple, vernacular, tone-based setting of the Gradual Hymn, which we hope to use instead of the usual responsorial psalm. It's therefore antiphonal, and is intended to be sung by cantor(s) and congregation.
ps my spell checker wants to substitute "responsible" for "responsorial" above. Make of that what you will.
