    Here is a printable program for a compline service in English that you can use. It was prepared by Richard Rice with the assistance of William Mahrt. It will be used for night prayer at the Sacred Music Colloquium.

    Quite nice indeed. I've been working on a compline that's a hybrid Latin-English for some workshops on chant. And this one gives me a nice point of comparison. Will we be using some such at the Chant Intensive or are we in for the "hard core" multi-psalm, solemn-tone antiphon style? Just teasing.

    How can we repay the CMAA for all their benefits to us?

    I'm not entirely sure but they might be from Marier
  • Is there a downloadable recording to go with this, please?
  • Here's a routine reminder: Avoid flames: critique principles, not people. Be discriminating but don't nitpick. Be academic not acerbic. Be principled not polemical.
