Colloquium XXV

Incense at Mass
We have found pure white copal works well. It seems to be less irritating, smokes well, and has a pleasing scent. So far it has satisfied the few people who complain when we use Three Kings Pontifical or pure frankincense. Also we found cleaning …

What is your music for All Souls?
Hi MatthewJ: you are correct, I can't find any copyright/composer information either. It's in CBW and CBW II but not CBW III. I too am curious about its origins. For me it's a hymn that I remember hearing since I was a little kid…

Through-composed Gloria setting
My parish has been using the revised Heritage Mass by Owen Alstott since Christmas 2012. It has a through-composed Gloria that people here find easy to sing. Prior to that we used the Canadian ICEL Gloria, also through-composed, for the first year…

question RE the use of candles at Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve
Thanks everyone for your thoughtful replies: it has given me lots to think about. I'm going to recommend that we dim the lights down as much as possible in the nave and add lots of candles like Ben and others have suggested, keeping the sanctu…

Canadian Glory to God
Hi - I used this with an organ accompaniment for the first year of the revised missal. I believe we were the only parish in the diocese to use this setting; our diocese did not dictate what to use so things are quite diverse from parish to parish –…

Epiphany Proclamation
Greetings - thank you for discussing this. I'm confused about what version to use and where to place the proclamation. For my parish, I would sing this after the prayer after communion (an option in the USCCB old version) and I'd probabl…

Victor Togni's "A Parish Mass"
Hi Joseph: My parish often uses the Kyrie from this setting. I'm not sure if it will be revised. RE where to find it: Tongi's mass can be found in both the CBW and CBW II (Catholic Book of Worship I and II). I'm not sure if i…
