Building a Quality Program
Interesting suggestions so far. Presuming this is a Catholic cathedral you've taken on, my first suggestion is to join CRCCM and engage with their membership—we have a strong email list for this sort of discussion, and of course our annual gat…

Christmas concert piece for large choir?
The attached is a new(-ish... time flies) edition of the Vaughan-Williams Christmas Fantasia (also available on IMSLP. Has an actually playable organ part that is a newly written, idiomatic organ reduction of the orchestration. It's still com…

Divine Office Hymnal has arrived!
Wouldn’t any reprint permission already be covered by ICEL’s existing publication policies? I have to wonder if that's what they meant by not covered by OL. I confirmed that GIA is working right now on getting the hymn graphic files loaded int…

That sounds like there’s been some sort of miscommunication. I’ll inquire.

It was explicit in the employee handbook in a previous position that anything done using diocesan/parish resources was the property of the diocese. I simply didn’t use their resources. I’m not aware of it ever being used against a composer, but di…

Divine Office Hymnal
It's interesting that the feast's hymns are included, given it currently doesn't seem to be on any liturgical calendar in the USA. It was a very last minute addition after the main hymnal was finished. The hymnal is available to a…

Salmo 138
Psalm Here. For anyone looking for Spanish psalms, be sure to keep in mind my in progress set, available at the CRCCM Repertoire Project. It's currently "completed" through late Easter of Year B. Revisions can always happen, so the…

To those of you with paid section leaders...
Per call—on payroll. $50–75 is the range I'm most familiar with—more if cantoring, or for long/special events. My experience has been that the environment in which you work will (should) be highly influential on choosing to go this route. In…

Salmo 138
What liturgical occasion is it for? I’m in the midst of writing a new 3-year Spanish psalter, and could possibly have something.

Does anybody else do this with BWV 645?
I define “as written” for Bach works as how they appear in the NBA and its subsequent updates for each individual BWV.

Does anybody else do this with BWV 645?
While I’ve heard this done, I’m not quick to question Bach’s judgment myself, and play it as written.

Divine Office Hymnal
One example: the way the assigned melody fits the translation of Audi benigne conditor gives you a stress pattern of "O lov-ING ma-KER hear THE pray'rs". I’m on mobile so I have no way to post a picture, but the actual setting of …

Antiphons for Rite of Consecration of Virgins
You can find my collection Music for the Consecration of Virgins on the CRCCM Repertoire Project website: Click here. I think I have most of the options covered. Some have instrumental parts also. The antiphon texts are from the most current Pon…

Alleluia/Gospel Acclamation with brass suggestions
Missa Guadalupe’s Alleluia is a good corollary to the Festival Alleluia (better, in my opinion), and has great brass parts. The whole mass is great—I highly recommend.

New Liturgy of the Hours Hymnal
ICEL did the adaptations and mandated they not be changed, so—if you don’t like it, don’t blame the USCCB.

New Liturgy of the Hours Hymnal
The hymnal and accompaniment are finished, and as far as I know, they’re at the printer now—so hopefully soon.

Chant notation in Finale
I've been entering neumes as chords and then using the Special Tools Notehead Position tool to switch notes to either side of the stem. … Also, if you want a level torculus in lozenges , you can enter CDE, double-click the C and enable verti…

Chant notation in Finale
Well, if we’re talking about stemless notation, I’d give two pieces of advice: 1 - Instead of setting the stem length as mentioned above, you can either turn stems off in the staff tool, or you can apply the stemless notation staff style. 2 - Use…

Personal introduction and Office hymns request
Well, those aren’t final, so I wouldn’t spend too much time with them. The hymns went to the printers yesterday, so I hope to see them available for purchase in the near future. For the psalmody, we know the APC will be used in the US, so that l…

Worship II Organ Accompaniment
Frankly, it’s shocking that GIA still sells what it does. The organ edition hasn’t been sold in ages, but—like I said—they’re the same, so it doesn’t matter. I’ve never had any problem using the hardback version.

Worship II Organ Accompaniment
Well, by virtue of the choir and organ editions being exactly the same—only differing in binding and cover material, yes—it includes every hymn accompaniment. The title page even lists both choir and organ options as they are the same…

The choir edition is the same as the organ edition—but hardback instead of coil bound.
