Contemporary worship music: How do editors intend their product to be used?
One of the best synopses I've seen so far, @Adam Wood! The roadmap/rhythm/rhythm synopsis does pretty succinctly summarize my practical issues trying to get my brain around the stuff in the first place (and continues to be a challenge still). …

Contemporary worship music: How do editors intend their product to be used?
The short answer? No, not in the least do I object to change qua change, though I'm afraid I would be slow to object to complete stagnation. I've played saxophones, strings, and even my guitar in church, for example, though I consider an…

An Anglican Plainsong Breviary (BCP 2019)
I just received my copy of the St Bernard Breviary today, and tried my hand at singing the evening office. I'm new to breviaries, but replacing four or more books in one volume, plus adding the variety of tones for prayers and canticles that a…

TimTheEnchanter: (great SN, by the way) Great to hear positives about OCP, and that you were able to eliminate CCLI entirely! I have been much inclined to be gloomy about music obviously intended for radio having ever made its way into the worshi…
