    Chant-
    All from the 1961 Liber. Two responsories will be sung psalm-tone. All else full propers.

    Reproaches are my favorite, but it's hard not to tear up as they are so moving.
    The hymn Crux fidelis is a favorite of the choir- so glorious! I'll be singing it for my friend Kathy Pluth, in honor of her contributions to hymnody. :)

    I watched part of the Good Friday Liturgy at which the pope presided. The intercessory biddings and collects were in Latin. The deacon sang the biddings not to the traditional (simple preface tone) music given in the Missale Romanum but the chant used by the narrator in the sub-semitonal passion chant. Does anyone have a clue why this was done? If the pope had sung the collects that followed to the modern (sub-semitonal) collect tone, the choice of this tone for the biddings might have made sense; but he simply recited the collects.

    Hi all,

    I wanted to share the Crux Fidelis (ICEL translation) in square notes I transcribed. I didn't finish it on time for this last Good Friday, but it can be used for the Exaltation of the Cross too.

    Thanks to bcb who provided the gabc file here http://forum.musicasacra.com/forum/discussion/4908/crux-fidelis-.gabc/p1

    Peace.
