Though I think I would prefer to sing "heav'n-ly Ki-ng", that's really very nice, cdruiz! Did you use Gregorio or another program?

Could you post the GBAC? I'd love to be able to re-typeset that and use it myself (if you don't mind).

You know, it occurs to me that perhaps the entire Kyriale could be set in Gregorio using the new translation. I'm not nearly adept as many here, but I'd try to do what I can. What do you all think? Is this a good project?

You're right. It is Gregoire. I'm going to have to google Gregorio.

Bruce Ford did a BEAUTIFUL adaptation of several Masses, including Mass VIII, which will appear in the Vatican II Hymnal.

Re: the Vatican II Hymnal, it is finally complete (including full indices, Preface, copyright notices, etc.)

I will be posting it very soon: within a few days.

Again: it is 100% FINISHED, but there is still some final proofreading, etc. that needs to be done on it. I will be asking folks for help.

By the way, many helpful comments came from this forum. For instance, several of Michael O'connor's suggestions were very helpful.

Thanks Jeff. I've been away from the forum for a while...

Glad to see there's going to be something official around here. I need to present some options to my pastor in the next few weeks.

It was at least fun for me to do the above as an exercise. :)

Chanting in English is a very personal thing, I think. After learning to chant Tudor English it's taken me a while to find a suitable style for P. Ford's American Gradual. I've also experimented on my own, singing Latin and then a free translation. So I find much to steal, um, emulate in both cdruiz's and SkirpR's versions, while not being able to resist tampering: here is the gregorio code for my take, which I fed into Chonak's interface here. Apparently use of apostrophes requires some work-around, so "heav'nly" must be infered.

Am I right in thinking that such a setting would require approval from ICEL before you could use it outside your parish?

Having recently attended a workshop on music for the new translation amongst other things, we were informed that:
- one could write things for one's own parish, but any distributed settings require approval from ICEL
- refrain form of Gloria is still ok (presumably, for those congregations with poor memories)
- no more paraphrasing (I suppose that this permits (sometimes needless) repetition and that it's still ok to sing Alleluia a million times before the Gospel, even though only three occurrences are present in the missal - nevertheless bringing back a 9-fold Kyrie will get you branded a traddie ;-) )

So, really, you folks shouldn't be posting your own (unapproved) settings here, in case they might be used outside your parish leading you to incur the wrath of....I don't know what exactly.

Not _the_ Quilisma? Let me not incur your wrath ;-) ICEL policy is spelled out on Musica Sacra. I hope no one will be discouraged from either offering or soliciting criticism of noncommercial settings, and though I realize I might be on thin ice with the apostrophe I thank Chonak for the very plausible explanation!

I don't remember who, but someone who frequents these boards said something like:
There's a provision for use of new settings in one's own "ecclesiastical community," and I consider the whole world my ecclesiastical community.

This whole thing is ridiculous and unenforceable.

Welcome to the forum!

Richard Clark, director of music at the cathedral in Boston, has published an adaptation called "Mass of the Angels", available from CanticaNova Publications. Some excerpts are on YouTube:

Davido's example is quite good.
Only one aspect of it makes me wince and be ever so thankful for Old Church English; namely, the consistent occurrence of the pronoun 'you' (as opposed to 'thee').
There is just something about that yoo, yoo, yoo (as in 'yoo hoo') that is comical and unpleasant to one's aesthetical faculties (not to mention gratuitously familiar).

Otherwise this version is commendable.
It should be sung everywhere.

Here is an adaption of Gloria VIII that I have done.
I can make the lilypond files available if requested.
