Paraclete is the first major publisher to pick up a CMAA publication. Five years ago, this would have been unthinkable. I'm completely thrilled. I hope it opens up new markets and gets the chant ever wider distribution.
Well, truly, this is a wonderful thing for us in so many ways. Arlene is the one who arranged it all. I hope it is just the beginning. So thrilling to see the way the CMAA has grown and the musical ideals along with it.
I did a funeral yesterday where the family only requested the Schubert. So, me pulled out PBC 2 and chanted Requiem introit, lux aeterna, in paradisum. And one of these days I'ma gonna find the time to add the Dies irae as a fourth option Offertorio! Second edition is just flat out beautiful. RRice is "the Man."
