Deus, Deus meus rhythmic variations
Thanks for this interesting compilation. I've never taken part in the discussions how to sing chant, neither do I intend to start a new one. When I first learnt chant I was introduced to a kind of the Dom Mocquereau method, maybe even simplifie…

Scores needed: George Malcolm, Miserere
Dear all, there is another piece from Malcolm I'm looking for. This time I'm quite certain that it's not on the website dedicated to him. It's "Scapulis suis", which is also included on the CD mentioned above. I found o…

Looking for Score: Deus Deus meus quare me dereliquisti?
Thank you so much! The antiphon is easy to transcribe, but the verses would have been a mess... I'll have a look into the database.

pre-Gregorian sacred chant in Ireland?
I wrote it down from the recording and could share it if you are interested. It's typeset in Lilypond, are you familiar with that? @Maureen: I would still be interested which melody you meant. Because the one from the posted video... It's…

pre-Gregorian sacred chant in Ireland?
@monasteryliturgist: Sorry, which video? I can see just one link to a video, which points to a "Celtic Alleluia" not Sancti Venite.

pre-Gregorian sacred chant in Ireland?
@Maureen: Which melody do you mean? It seemed to me there are several as the original one did not survive.

Scores needed: George Malcolm, Miserere
Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. I had found the webpage dedicated to GM, but didn't find the score – sorry, that page is a mess. THANKS A LOT! @tomjaw: I would have never dared to e-mail the master of music from WCC. Do you…

Scores needed: George Malcolm, Miserere
Addendum: For everyone interested in Malcolm in general. If you are searching for his name at this british shop you can find the following motets: * Ingrediente Domino * Terribilis est locus iste * Veritas mea But still no Miserere...

Your favourite Masses
Another question concerning Lent: Which masses do you use for this season? Traditionally it would probably be better to stay with plainchant, but as someone mentioned elsewhere it's maybe not the best idea to build a strong association between …

Your favourite Masses
Atm I really love Byrd's masses. They are truly "composed", not just parody masses, Byrd truly paints the words. Does anybody have experiences with 5v mass? I always assumed that it's the most complicated just bc it has more voic…

Your favourite Masses
A lot of this is purely practical: there are an amazing number of high quality works, available for free online, that lend themselves to being sung by small choirs. True, that's why I am asking for some orientation. The amount is so huge that …

Your favourite Masses
Oh I'm so glad I asked – thanks to you all! And I'm surprised that there is so little Renaissance in your favourites. I mean... I agree with the problems, but still there are some gems. True, my question was a bit unclear. I was thinking …

Easy polyphonic Masses
Although this thread is 12 years old I still have a look on it sometimes. So if anybody else is using it as an inspiration too, I wanted to mention these two masses: Missa Quarti Toni (Victoria --> he was mentioned above, but I wanted to highlig…

"Gartan" started life as a tune for "Sancti Venite"
Thanks a_f_hawkins, that was very helpful. Just to be sure – do I get the following points right: 1) "Sancti venite" was completely forgotten, there is no unbroken tradition of singing it which dates back further than Muratori? 2) After M…

"Gartan" started life as a tune for "Sancti Venite"
I had seen this thread, but if I understand it correctly the tunes are meant for the English translation and I am not simply interested in finding any tune which fits to the text, but wanted to know on which tune the Latin hymn is traditionally sung…

"Gartan" started life as a tune for "Sancti Venite"
This thread is some years old, but I have several questions regarding "Sancti venite" and I thought this could be a good place to ask. I would like to sing "Sancti venite" in Latin in my parish. But all I know is the text and th…
