Thanks a lot - do you also have any handout/leaflet for the anointing/covering of the corpus?

Para-liturgy for the Burial of Christ
@monasteryliturgist: I have that..... It is basically the reading of the Gospel and a sermon, and several musical pieces accoompanying the ritual actions and processions. Odf course they benefit from the setting. I'm looking for something a tad…

Publishers announced for new Breviary!
Count me disappointed that Catholic Book Publishing was not selected. Nothing against the others - but the dated artwork/clipart and some obstinate editorial decisions aside, I have generally found CBP books to be clear, readable, useable and more a…

Music for Rite of Baptism
We have regular singing at our (communal) baptisms, and the following is a sample. It is not very "grand" because we usually just have a cantor and whoever has come for the baptism. Gathering/Reception of the Child: (we don't sing a…

New Eucharistic Adoration Rite
The verse "Panem de caelo"/"You have given them bread" was never there, in either the Latin or the English. The justification I often heard for including it was that it was "part of the hymn" or mentioned in the Manual …

Whither Papal Singing?
I wonder if he has ever sung the Collect and Preface tones? The things he has sung so far have all been things that one would hear (and thus absorb) from just being at a Papal Mass (or religious community, in the case of the Regina Caeli). But perha…

Thoughts on the unpublished Charlotte liturgical letter
I'm not surprised that the reports say his Presbyteral Council shot it down. His own cathedral (prior to his installation), and episcopal Curia practice most of those items. I suspect he will have to wait for a couple of years before he can app…

Questions about the inaugural mass.
@Liam, I checked the 2005 edition and it did not seem to have any explanation for the presence of the Eastern Patriarchs (although it did have a brief commentary on the significance of the station at the tomb of St. Peter). As far as the Mass itse…

Pope Leo XIV
FWIW, I doubt Pope Leo celebrated the TLM. Generally there are small indicators that priests who have celebrated awith some frequency tend to retain even when celebrating the NO (things like position of hands, etc.). As for vestments - traddie vestm…

Variations on rubrics according to country?
@MatthewRoth that is not exactly true. In the first stages of Sacrosanctum Concilium, there was some approval for parts of the Weller ritual - probably since it was the only complete one extant at the time. See the NCCB decree of April 1964. Re: th…

Hymn for Pope Leo!
There are two sets of revised lyrics for "Full in the panting heart of Rome". One was written for Pope Benedict's visit to the UK, the other by +Dennis Hurley. To be honest, I before the more theological passages to the flowery ultram…

Easy Polyphony for Holy Thursday
These are some things that have been programmed in the past at my parish. They are choral, not necessarily polyphonic - but since my parish is not good with polyphony, they have fit in quite well. -- Worthy is the Lamb (Fetke) [since your handle i…

English Martyrology
@MonasticChantress The third typical edition of the Martyrology and the additional Supplement for the Liturgy of the Hours were announced in a communication of the Dicastery to the Episcopal Conferences. It doesn't seem to have made its way …

English Martyrology
@a_f_hawkins Unfortunately for them, there are now recently announced updates to both the Martyrology (new upcoming Latin edition) and the Liturgy of the Hours (biannual cycle and psalm prayers).....so unless they were in touch with someone from t…

@ServiamScores - where can we get these turba choruses? Are there any other free choral settings for the turba that match the phrasing of the NAB lectionary? Especially the Victoria.....

English Martyrology
There no UK translation. A standard practice of the Dicastery of Divine Worship when approving new feasts is to approve a brief biographical note, Collect, Second Reading for the Office of Readings and entry for the martyrology. Generally speaking…

Immaculate Conception Holy Day Status
No comment on the DDW competency, but this reminded me of one of an old professor, an elderly and very-sharp (and quite well-known in his field) Roman canonist. He often claimed that the CDW would ignore canonical niceties when issuing its decisions…

2-year lectionary latin readings for Holy Week on the Liturgia Horarum
An update on the Liturgia Horarum: Earlier this month, the DDW wrote to all the Episcopal Conferences to announce that they have completed the Latin Supplement for the Liturgia Horarum. This work consists of an official set of "psalm prayers&q…

Metrical Lament of the Virgin
Once again, I find myself looking for a suitable musical piece on the Lamentation of the Blessed Virgin (Stabat Mater does not work, it is more geared toward the crucifixion rather than the burial of the Lord) for the "Ora della Desolata" …

Alternate lyrics for Diadem (Ellor)
Yes… the text is Common Meter and so theoretically the tune can be used for any Common Meter text. But practically, the repetitions near the end make it difficult. In the original text (“All Hail the power of Jesus name”), it occurs at “Crown him”. …

Approachable, single-movement Magnificat settings?
If you are doing plainchant may I suggest the French 'ton royal' that they regularly sing in Notre Dame? It also has fauxbordon verses, but I don't know where to get a score for thos - perhaps another contributor here knows.....

Favorite Eucharistic Hymn Texts: Hive-mind go!
Does anyone know of a translation of Anima Christi that might work with the Frisna melody so that the verses could be English with the refrain in Latin?

Corpus Christi procession hymns
Does anyone know the source of the melody of this rendition of the Corpus Christi Sequence sung by this Anglo-Catholic church? The refrain "blessed and praise be Jesus Christ" is clearly derived from the Lauda Ierusalem Dominum.... https…

Congregational Domine Salvum fac regem nostrum Carolum
Does anyone have an English translation or paraphrase of the "Domine salvum fac" that keeps the number of syllables (aside from name) and (as much as possible) stresses of the Latin text?

English version of 'Christus Factus est'
Just bumping this thread, to see if anyone has anything new to recommend. I'm still looking for something for this Holy Week.

Recordings of the Graduale Simplex
There used to be a website run by I think either the Franciscans of the Immaculate sisters, or the Virgin of Matera ones which had a good number of the Graduale Simplex recordings in mp3. I wish I had saved it, but I lost all my bookmarks with the l…
