Anglican Version of CMAA?

Life Teen Video by Father Robert Schreiner

Men and Boys Choir in Your Parish?
My parish is just beginning the very long process of establishing such a choir. There was one until the late 1950s.

which missal for a newly ordained deacon
That's the one I would buy as a hand missal for use 'in the pews'. Will the deacon eventually need an altar edition?

Fonts

Ash Wednesday experience
I follow the practice during Lent of using the organ only for accompanying voices (and giving pitches to the celebrant). I will play subdued voluntaries on Laetare Sunday and before the Maundy Thursday Mass. I use no organ whatsoever between the Mau…

More Latin chant settings for Sanctus and Agnus Dei?
The Sarum chant repertory is mostly a local variant of the Gregorian repertory. The only Mass chants not found in other Western sources are for texts found only in Sarum liturgical books (and these almost entirely for local feasts). The textual vari…
