Ideas for a homeschool choir
There is some nice stuff at st James music press. It’s a subscription, but then you can download whatever they have. Lots to use with children’s choir

gregorian chant proper for Novus Ordo Mass
Yes. The Gregorian chants for NO can be found in the Graduale Romanum 1974, or the Gregorian Missal, both of which can be found on the musicasacra downloads page.

Joys and Sorrows of the Triduum
- Crux Fidelis was pretty rough. Apologies to God and good King John of Portugal - Gregorian alleluia for the vigil used for first time in this parish, and went pretty well! 18 kids showed for the choir in the morning sang like angels!

Anyone have a blank XML file of the Salzburg Tune?
Hymnary.org But don’t do it. Sing the Gregorian melody. It is very ancient and was known to Catholics for centuries, it should be known by them now.

Does this exist? Choral elaboration of the English ICEL/Roman Missal Ordinary?
There is something for the missal chants at least in Latin. They used it when the pope was just in Philly, it’s in the Cathedral series, edited by John Romeri

High school schola loves chant; but boys reluctant to sing out
If you are showing videos, try Notre Dame glee club. Great group and they are a masculine bunch. Do they have in person experience of robust male singing? It can be hard to do something you have never seen. YouTube is great, but a loud living breat…

Pew Missal
A parish I used to work in bought LC and still uses it. I like it. This parish was already accustomed to seeing square notes having used the PBC previously. I think the chant responsorial psalm antiphons in the LC are much easier to pick up than Os…

Chant Technique for Laryngopharyngeal Condition
Hello Giovanni, it would be best to consult with a voice professional. This could be a well trained choir director or a (classical) voice teacher. There is no “correct” vocal technique for chant - as we might say bel-canto for opera or “belting” fo…

Lauda Jerusalem/Ierusalem by Victoria - Where do I find the Chant Bridges??
I was in the “choir in Rochester.” Scary to know that the Internet contains in perpetuity things that you attempted in uninformed youth. I have since thought that mode doesn’t really go with the Victoria, but it doesn’t sound half bad on the record…

Setting a different text to an Easter hymn
Don't improvise with tune/text pairings. There are traditional tune/text pairings for most hymns. Download the pdfs of some old episcopal, Methodist, and Lutheran hymnals, and you'll find that in the branches of Christianity that strongly …

No, the music at mass is not about eliciting an emotional response from the worshippers. In fact, it is best to remember that the worshippers at mass are not the object of the music, rather God is the "audience," and the music is firstly f…

Organ, Trumpet, and Violin
You could easily do a baroque work for trumpet and organ and have the violin double the top voice in the organ. Try the overture to charpentier's the deum

Do the responsorial psalms in this collection correspond to your psalms on the Chabanel Psalms website? These collections are wonderful, thank you for making them available!

It's worth watching to see his message to the end.
Spirituals approach God in a very different way than Catholic music, or even most of the music of the first few centuries of Protestantism. Spirituals usually invoke a personal story, a claim of what Jesus did for ME! rather than a communal understa…
