Grants/Financial support for Organ Acquisition

Why a Pipe Organ is Better than a Digital

The Hunt for a New Organ
I would say that at my church there was absolutely no place to put a pipe organ, but now we have a wonderful pipe organ. Room can sometimes be found somewhere if you are creative about it.

Sung psalm with spoken verses
The GIRM will never prohibit every bad idea because it would be a billion pages long. It should be enough to explain that the rubrics say something may either be sung or spoken.

Hymn Antiphon Idea?
I’ve actually considered offering a service, through my antiphonrenewal, wherein i compile antiphon hymns chosen by the customer into a hymnal that I upload to Lulu press for them to purchase. But this is not actually that difficult to do ones own.…

Suggestions for a "new" Alleluia--Gospel Acclamation
Well I made my own accompanied version of the Anglican Use Alleluia. You can cue and paste the melody line for assemblies. The verse could be sung SATB

Can someone link to this “mode ii” alleluia you’re all talking about? I don’t know which one you’re referring to. Also, is there an accompaniment to the Anglican use alleluia somewhere?

SS/SA/Two Part Lenten music
That Sweelink is cool but I'm really confused about how to perform it according to the video. Can anyone clarify? Sounds like by the end you have sopranos and altos singing both parts and tenors and bases singing both parts a measure behind?

How can one possibly be a bread-winner in this line of work?
