Concordi Laetitia 2 and 3 (and 4!) part vocal harmonies
“I will keep the alto line E to D suspension in the last line which creates that D-E-F cluster; might have to wait for hearing actual voices give it a go.” It’s ok if you’re Eric Whitacre.

Accompaniment poll
Generally, I’m with Francis on the accompaniment side of organ registration, 8’ flutes etc. When I fill in for the organist at my church, I use a different accompaniment for the Commons of the Mass (A simple French arranged version, I don’t know the…

Alleluia, pascha nostrum - M. Taylor
I agree with MJO about this, very nice, and I appreciate that it echoes back to works like Perotin Le Grand.

I worked not too far away from there a while ago, maybe sometime in the future I can visit again.

Also here is a new link to the music done by Matthew Curtis and Sarah Brailey. https://youtu.be/dXt6hQ_eR48

@vansensei I simply used Adode PDF editor to cut and paste the individual chant lines where they came in between the polyphony.

Sequence for Pentecost
@CGZ I mean by “Why not?”, that the supposed status quo ante should be disregarded. This is in relation to places I frequent, where women’s involvement is null in regards to the Propers...This topic probably belongs on another similar thread, so I’…

Sequence for Pentecost
@CCooze I’d actually like to hear any “performance” you might have singing propers etc. My experience was either men, and men only, or the nuns singing them at the Novitiate where I would occasionally serve for Mass, Vespers, and Holy Hour. Very ra…

Sequence for Pentecost
@MatthewRoth I don’t think it’s licit to shorten or exclude any part of the sung propers outside of the psalm tones....I shudder to think that those (Rossini Psalm Tones propers) were even a thing when I was starting out Chanting for the mass. We e…

Sequence for Pentecost
@CCooze There was one year me and the Schola director were the only two at practice before Palm Sunday going over the chant before the service. We noticed the length of the Tract for the mass and we had to make a quick choice because there was the …

Certain sorts of choral polyphony as reflections of the eternal God ?
I much rather enjoy discussions like this one as there is a wealth of knowledge on the subject to be shared.

Oculus Non Vidit - 1 Corinthians 2:9
As always Drake your work is very sublime, I especially appreciate how predictably unpredictable the voices work together, and by that I mean: the melodic lines are easily followable, but then you create certain leaps to accommodate the entrance of …

Ave Maria a 8 (Charles H. Giffen)
Charles, can't you send your works to Matthew Curtis at Choral tracks? I usually use his services at chroaltracks.com.

Vox in Rama - New Composition
Drake, I too find myself in the same boat as you. Little musical education other than what I could find out on my own, and yet God gives talents to his stewards to invest in, and not bury...Keep it up, and bravo.

Certain sorts of choral polyphony as reflections of the eternal God ?
@jonathanboswell Simply this: I find more contrapuntal excellence in Palestrina's work in general, it is hard to describe why, but there's just something that "clicks" in my analysis whenever I'm looking over any of the sc…

Certain sorts of choral polyphony as reflections of the eternal God ?
@jonathanboswell I share the same sentiment about what you have said, especially in your second paragraph, only I would discuss the matter about Palestrina's treatment of dissonances as being a by product of the counterpoint between the voice…

Tones for the Gloria Patri at Vespers
The Gloria Patri etc of the psalm should reflect the mode in which the psalm is sung, when it comes to “euouae” unless otherwise inscribed should be sung as found at the beginning of the Liber. The feast day should dictate which modes and psalms are…

Has anyone ever heard the Martin Mass for Double Choir in a liturgical setting?
As far as I can tell, the Church never objected to the religious beliefs of an individual composer, They’ve commissioned many people outside of Catholicism to write masses for whatever the occasion based solely on their musical capabilities.

Definitely sounds like something I'd hear on NPR's classical station. Yes, we all need a little fun because this "Rona" business isn't bringing out the best in humanity.

Metrical Office Hymns
Anyway, to get back to the subject, I'd would be very interested to see some examples of some metered hymns, unless Jehan might be referring to compositions directly based on certain melodies from which they were composed. One example that stic…

@ Felicia Maybe it was the fact that it was a forced accentuation of a generally "free rhythm" style of music, I think Elam Rotem in Early Music Sources (YouTube) describes some of the concepts briefly.

Its hard to tell nowadays, since there is little to no existent repertoire to be found, but some of the accounts from musicians who heard it say that it had a "slightly awkward" sound to it because of this quality. I'll have to find a…

When it comes to more metrical hymns and chants, wasn't this what Gallican Chant tried to accomplish, but it fell out of use?
