Your "private Mass"
Our regular EF Mass is preceded by a time of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Benediction. I used to try squeeze in some choir practice in that time, but ended up preferring to stay in for whatever Adoration was possible - taking into account…

What does "Versetti in Modo I Trasp: pel Tantum Ergo" mean?
Thanks - singing through the Mode 1 melody, it does have similarities. It all makes sense now, plus I have another Tantum Ergo tune to familiarise myself with.

What does "Versetti in Modo I Trasp: pel Tantum Ergo" mean?
Yes, per + il sounds plausible. They're all written in the key of D major, so not sure how "Transposed" relates. As written it feels like it leads in well to playing Tantum Ergo in C major (starting note E). Though the key sig is D, …

EF - how to play the Organ as everyone processes in
Thanks, I've had fun with this. The Orgel Praeludien in Noel's suggestion use Pedals throughout - it's written on 2 staves, but marked Ped and huge intervals if you were to try playing both T and B voices with left hand. I've bee…

Short Advent motets/chants
A two part O come, O come Emmanuel: http://www.brandt.id.au/newbookoldhymns/hymns/veni.html I think Jonathan K made a good edition of it with the order starting with O come O come Emmanuel. Once you've got the tune though, you can sing whiche…

Swapping a Communio with a Responsorium Breve
The Graduale Simplex tune matches one of the Vespers Antiphons in the Liber Usualis, and sounds more manageable. I can see the Responsory might not be so good as it repeats the text and introduces Alleluias. I'm wondering if there was legisla…

Regina Caeli - ti flat
I wondered why they didn't just move the clef - if it's a flat in the clef, then it's like Fah is the Doh, I think. Or is there a fine natural temperament difference in tuning?

Exposition and Benediction Hymns - Lilypond
I took the liberty of adapting your Tantum Ergo for our local variation. Then I printed it and put it in my folder, then a year later I wanted to print another copy but couldn't find it, but I found this page again and redid the modifications …

Symposium, Los Angeles, June 26-30
New crowdfunding initiative - maybe need a separate thread for Lenten Almsgiving ideas! If you think the west coast symposium a good idea, but maybe can't attend yourself, chip in for scholarships. Aiming to raise $2500 by the feast of the An…

Music for Our Lady of Fatima - May 13 2017
At first I thought it was the same as the "Lady of Fatima, Lady of Light" hymn that appeared in the Australian Pius X Hymnal with credit to the Loreto sisters. Thanks for posting! The same hymnbook has another to Our Lady of Fatima - Ave…

Carols before Midnight Mass?
88 degrees in Sydney today. We're heading down there for a family picnic with lots of water pistols. (That's 31 degrees for us celsius people) People reserve pews with Missals and prayer books. Hence the term Booking your Seats.

What do you do after Midnight Mass? Frivolous post.
If we did one gift each for the 8 of us that's 96 gifts! Cool!!!

Carols before Midnight Mass?
Sounds like something to think about for next year. The last Mass before Midnight is a few days earlier I think - it's a very seldom used church. I'm not a night owl though, so I'll be sleeping as much as I can before Mass. Also the…

What do you do after Midnight Mass? Frivolous post.
All our younger kids seem to fall asleep a lot for Mass and the drive home. We avoided Midnight for some years until the year we had a bubba who didn't like car trips > 20 minutes so had to do the local parish which had FSSP Latin Mass at Mi…

There's a changed doxology left for the feast of the Holy Family too. Also Sacred Heart and Christ the King.

PD Hymn resource
I second github. Google drive is a bit clumsy with .ly files, whereas Github would allow previews of .ly and .pdfs. I wouldn't be allowing write access to my google drive, but github is set up to allow people to suggest changes which you can …

Hindsight is 20/20....How did your Holy Week go?
This year Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday and Good Friday were sung by my 13 year old son and me. We had one extra voice for the Easter Vigil, plus an almost spontaneous family favourite - I had focussed so much on the proper chants in the Liber I forgo…

Missing pages in 1957 "Mass and Vespers" PDF
Pange Lingua for Holy Thursday/Corpus Christi had a couple of pages switched order too. But a great book. We've been printing it out big for the short sighted people in the choir.

Odd problem with choir members (advice needed)
I thought it was pretty standard for the choir to go up to communion first, walking up after the the Agnus Dei and kneeling for the Lord I am not worthy.

The intial fonts of Peter Holger Sandhofe
I have come back to this thread to find Mr Sandhofe's edition of Gloria Laus with 16 verses. It sounds like there must have been some issue that prevented Musica Sacra from hosting Holger Peter Sandhofe's free files. Would it be okay for…

Candlemas in the EF
Was there an answer to Julie's question, re: can we sing other music on the procession after Adorna? I'm thinking of a mode 7 Ave Maris Stella. I think it should be alright, remembering singing different things each year for a little Chr…

(possibly answering my own question here) This booklet has the way they do it at the Vatican http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/libretti/2014/20140106-libretto-epifania.pdf Just noticed they do the undevicesima instead of decima nona too.
