Pray Tell
As much as I am wary of enlivening long forgotten threads, I have to say this: Pray Tell Blog is an ideological echo chamber. In my efforts to contribute constructively (and not always contrary-mindedly) to some of their discussions, I have been re…

Introducing Chant to a Parish's Repertoire
No we don't. The CBW has some good stuff, but it really relies on musical instruments to support the singing. We are doing everything a cappella. I'm using https://illuminarepublications.com/scores/ for those. I download the PDF, and mix…

Oh yeah: start implementing the missal chant dialogues, if you haven't already.

Lol.. too late. The Mass of Creation outbreak has passed. No need now, if there ever was one. The request was mostly a joke, just like the setting itself. "Ditching it" is, alas out of my control. ryand: We are now using your harmon…

Introducing Chant to a Parish's Repertoire
If you are using video screens, you should be using the PDFs from Illuminare Publications. I strongly recommend avoiding the big publishers who would try to to ding you for reprinting music in "worship aids". Mr. Bartlett knows that his is…

St. Anne Mass tomorrow
Here's what we sang today... the small chapel was packed tight, but we didn't need to add any hymns for time. The Hymn to Saint Anne is really "To Kneel at Thine Altar"... I took a few liberties with the verses. The antiphons …

Quick! Is there any way to (without breaking the law or spending any money) get a good trombone leadsheet for Mass of Creation?

The Demystification of the Harmonic Series
We actually played your composition at my church last sunday. I thought it went well, but some people weren't too pleased. Just got an email from the pastor saying I'm fired... What gives?? /purple

OK... I need an answer to this.. Maybe Adam Bartlett can even chime in if he's not too busy. The stuff that he is working on now, all the PDFs that are downloadable on Lumen Christi... What (and why) the difference between that and SEP, and i…

Shouting From the Rooftops
Well, in the interests of not creating too many new threads, I just used the forum search tool, looking for "Jon Naples" and found this thread. Dr. Naples, I have in my hands 3 brand new copies of "Offertory" and I am STOKED. …

Ima noob, but after having sung thru several SEPs, I must say that my favorite so far is the Introit for St. John the Baptist's Nativity... another mode I introit.

Learning music with Solfege
Thanks all, In particular, I asked that because I am wondering if it is easier to use a moveable Doh system or a moveable numbers one. I am going to stick with the solfege syllables since I am more comfortable with them, and since it's what I…

Jared, BUT, it does become an interesting question of conscience for a faithful Catholic working in a church music position in a tradition that performs gay marriages. That would mean a faithful Catholic working full-time in a non-Catholic workpl…

@canadash, No, I'm not familiar at all with that choral Gloria... It looks nice, and we'll probably try it at some point in the future. For now we're working in unison land, with a mass setting that the congregation can grasp quickl…

We rehearsed today, and we all agreed on Hail Holy Queen... What I didn't quite anticipate was the pickup into the 2nd and 3rd verses... One is tempted to really let the "Salve Regina" ring out... but there are only three beats there,…
