I have captured the plenary lectures from the Colloquium on the recording archive. Other recordings will be arriving presently, but I don't have a lot of time in the coming week.
Archbishop Sample's recording was the first to be added, of course.
(Remember, if you have recordings you'd like to add to the archive, please contact me.)
Yes, I realize that we're all awaiting the Mass recordings more than anything. But those aren't likely to be done this week. I'm waiting until I get home, have better bandwidth, dual monitors, and more time. The advantage of the recordings posted thus far is that they don't require as much processing.
I appreciate your patience. And thank you to all who have already contacted me about submitting recordings.
I've now added a whole bunch of things to the last section of the archive. This includes the ability to play some lectures right there on the web page - rather than downloading them to your PC which can take a long time. I also have the recording of the Follies on Thursday night.
As a matter of curiosity, just how many of the Laudate Dominum compositions came within the three minute maximum length requirement? The recording of the Michael DeSaye at the Sunday Mass runs four and a half minutes. I haven't had time to listen to all of the submissions yet.
Does anybody have recordings of the final Mass which were located at the back of the church? I'm finding that some of the songs are a bit muddy because my recorder was at the front.
You might notice, Charles, that I didn't attempt to create a nice pretty version of each song. This is partially because I don't have a copy of the scores, and it takes a long time to do that. It took me nearly a day to do the processing for those new compositions as it was, because I found out that they went over several of the compositions on multiple days.
