No lie, I swear our model is the Oratory/OSM. My pastor really wants the Bartolucci! But it’s going to be delayed.
But I might be able to get an edition of the Isaac Missa Paschalis Kyrie done. We will likely use that for Sundays with Lux et Origo since DB didn’t write that setting and I want authentic rep too, even if we are who we are and use the familiar Solesmes edition for chant.
I want to do Victoria next year on Friday…
@NihilNominis, I’m curious about the tracts. Is it all falsobordone and you sing it straight through without any alternation? I’d like to add more chant verses but maybe up the game with the psalm verses.
Thursday: Mass IV, Credo I, communion chant with a psalm verse (146), the « Anerio » Christus factus and Morales Vigilate (a magnificent piece). Chant Pange lingua. Vespers and stripping of the altars, recto tono.
Friday: chant. We did the first tract and then did the second with the first and last two verses in full, the rest psalm toned.
Saturday: chant, Mass I, Benedictus of Clemens non Papa for the offertory, a reduced Sicut cervus (this was uncanny valley: if I had known, I’d have coughed up for a soprano).

At St. Ann's in Hamilton the TLM choir was responsible for Holy Saturday Tenebrae (1962) and ofc our Sunday mass.
Tenebrae Sicut Ovis - Viadana Jerusalem Surge Plange Recessit O Vos Omnes II - Victoria Ecce Asiterunt Reges - Victoria Aestimatus Sum Sepulto Domino - Victoria Christus Factus Est a 3 - Asola Miserere Mei - Franco
It went very well this year, almost perfectly. I would share the livestream, but unfortunately there were audio issues. For the Benedictus (Mulieres) verses we used a fauxbourdon I composed. Every chant response was done with organum as is our wont here.
For choirs that are not quite up to Allegri's Miserere I can recommend Franco's setting. Every polyphonic verse is through-composed, but it was very manageable in the end. I plan to do it again next year, as we also add the Viadana Plange response, and perhaps in 2028 if all continues apace, the Allegri.

@MatthewRoth — they alternate with verses in simple psalmody, but I don’t see any reason other than time (We have exceptionally good attendance and the adoration of the cross simply takes an enormous amount of time), why you couldn’t use the full-tone chant verses in alternation.
