Hymn for the Divine Mercy?
I agree! All I am trying to say (rather poorly I might add) is that I am looking for a specific hymn, to serve a specific purpose, rather than to just shoe-horn hymns that speak better on other topics, and only make a small pass at the mention of G…

Hymn for the Divine Mercy?
(Edited for clarity) Perhaps I should be more specific... This hymn would be meant to serve as an opening hymn for a Divine Mercy Chaplet... Not necessarily the Quasimodo Mass... There is a hymn, almost biographical in nature, from the Anglican ch…

Spanish Easter Sequence
Shameless plug for ILP hymnal, "Cantoral". They have many good things in there, including the Easter and Pentecost sequences in Latin and Spanish! That's why I sang from this last Sunday.

Lent II at...
My favorite hymn for Transfiguration (that I wish I could use) has always been "O Wondrous Type, O Vision Fair"... But I'll take "come with us to the plain..." Over alot of other stuff!

Use of instruments during Lent?
Conception Abbey accompanies Mass lightly (spitzflute/ gemshorn, or something similar) during Lent. Vespers and Lauds are entirely Acappella (as far as I understand) with no organ voluntaries of any sort.

Mass setting selection
I find this a rather interesting thread so far, as I am looking into compiling a booklet of Mass settings for my Parish that is based on the premise of the Kyriale. (One might ask why I'm not just using the Kyriale : because I would be run out …

Use of the term 'Lector'
I was corrected by our Diocesan MC that we have readers most of the time at Mass. It is seldom that Lectors read, because they are so few and far between (since there is not a real "norm" for establishing them under the current USCCB norms…

Marian postludes
I second all that Chris said in his post above. Those are all wonderful sets. I might also add that there is a STRIKING setting of the solemn Salve Regina by Olivier Latry that is available. Also, Dupré has a nice choral setting of the Solemn Sal…

What type of music does the Catholic Church need most?
Thank you, Hawkins! I stand corrected. That set is one of the few things I'm willing to give money for with OCP.

What type of music does the Catholic Church need most?
Following off of what Lincoln is suggesting, there is a set by Fr. Columba Kelly (available through GIA, if memory serves) that supplies a full antiphon, a simple congregational refrain, and verses set to meinrad tones. I find them quite lovely in g…

For those of you who do Lessons and Carols...
In the past, I have followed the model of King's College but putting the emphasis on Advent as opposed to a Christmas L&C. This is the program that I planned and executed with the choir and schola cantorum at the St. Lawrence Catholic Campu…

(OF/USA) Sunday evening Mass on Dec. 31: Feast of the Holy Family or Solemnity of Mary?
I would approach it in the same way that we approach Christmas and the 4th Sunday of Advent the week prior. The morning and up to 4pm is Holy Family, and after 4pm (or whatever time your diocese has set for Vigil Masses in general) the Solemn Vigi…
