English Mass XV
That is lovely! But who did the English adaptation, does anyone know? And isn't it curious that there is a note from the Second Vatican Council about teaching the faithful to sing the Ordinary in Latin, although this one is English?

Speeding up the salve Regina
"Eia ergo" would be the logical place to speed it up, because "eia" (often untranslated) means "quick"! ;-)

New USCCB Guidelines on "Publishing" Ritual Texts (incl. Psalm settings)
So this is sort of a revised Revised Grail Psalms which we should use going forward?

Choir rooms
My little schola, which sings at First Friday masses, rehearses in the church, but we do our warmups before mass in a large room downstairs from the church, or occasionally, if it is occupied, in the hallway. The larger choir which sings Sunday mor…

Entrance and Communion Chants for Independence Day
Looks like I've found what I was looking for in Fr. Samuel F. Weber's Proper of the Mass, I think I'll stick with this, although the text he has used for the introit is not exactly the text for Independence Day from the Missal. It …

Looks like I've found what I was looking for in Fr. Samuel F. Weber's Proper of the Mass, volume 3, numbers 489-504, as linked from MarkB's post.

Yes!

New Hymn Text for the Sacred Heart
In the penultimate stanza, the sixth line "burning Fire, healing Flood:" seems to be missing a syllable (there should be seven, not six). One solution would be to allocate "Fire" to two syllables (although "Fi-re" may b…

Question on the Choice of Readings/Antiphons for Daily Masses
I have questions about the choice of antiphons. Paul F. Ford's comment answers one, about the choice of responsorial psalm. About the other proper chants, I see no answers here, and a couple of comments above leave me puzzled. Earl_Grey: My…

The Ohio was the first river I knew, growing up in Evansville, Indiana; and every "river" I've seen since then has seemed unimpressive! (To be fair to the Mississippi: I've seen it only in Minnesota, before it receives the water…

This is wonderful! And I had no idea there was a second edition -- much expanded from the first!

where is this antiphon from?
I don't know, but it's a lovely antiphon, and I'm glad to have my attention drawn to it.

Choice of propers for optional memorials and votive masses with daily readings
What is also common for Memorials ... is for the First Reading and Psalm to be chosen from the ferial lectionary, and the Gospel from the Proper of Saints Wow, is that really an option? But if it is, it's not happening in my situation ... al…

A belated update to my answer to petrus_simplex: At our first meetings, we had about 20 voices. After about two rehearsals, COVID-19 struck, and all events were canceled. When the pan-panic ended and events resumed, about 6 singers (7 counting me)…

Choice of propers for optional memorials and votive masses with daily readings
Thank you all for many thoughtful answers. From the lack of any mention of "legislation" deciding this question, I conclude that there is none. The consensus among your responses seems to favor the chants for the votive or memorial at le…

Question on the Choice of Readings/Antiphons for Daily Masses
Yes, for the OF Missal, the entrance and communion propers from Sunday only applies to Ordinary Time. And not always even in Ordinary Time. For example, for Week XVIII, the Communio for Sunday in the GR is Panem de caelo, and that is used through m…

Graduale Simplex - is it worth it?
GIA still sells it ("1988"), but OCP apparently does not. CanticaNova sells it ("1999 reprint") and includes a free "Guide to the Graduale Simplex" which contains a summary of the Latin introduction and other informati…

Index of Responsorial Psalm Responses
monasteryliturgist: Ouch! The lectionary is being revised again? I assume you mean the U.S.A. lectionary. Ah, and the last time was 2002? And the previous one about 30 years before that. Can one hope that the revisions will not be too extensive?

For some reason I didn't notice MarkB's two attachments on first reading. Now that I have those, I think I could return the borrowed book. Thanks, Mark.
