Fee for a contractor?
Sometimes these things are handled less formally, on a favors system. Asking a musician to do a gig is like handing him/her cash, so the contractor is sort of owed a favor by everybody, which can either be evened out with a stipend or just informall…

How are the Mass readings prioritized on weekdays?
Isn't "Feast" as distinct from "Solemnity" now understood as a feast ranking lower than Sundays? Good question. Not necessarily. Major feasts of the Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary still replace Sundays.

male or female cantor for psalm 22
Yesterday's Gospel for the Annunciation was a dialogue between an angel and a woman, but liturgically read by a man (deacon or priest), who is neither. I think your parish custom, while probably well-intentioned, comes a little too close to mak…

Hi, Henrik, what do you think of all of our responses to your questions so far?

Jackson, I don't have a settled opinion on this question, but I was hoping for a discussion of the depth that your response and Chuck's have provided. It is one of those issues that I've thought of quite a lot but haven't been ab…

Yes, true, in that way they are the same hymn. But in what ways are they different? And taking everything into consideration, are they the same hymn?

This has been done once or twice, actually: Eucharistic Hymns written between 1970 and 1985 which suggest, but never explicitly state, heretical ideas

Fr. Chepponis, Why not initiate such a thread? It would likely be most welcome.

Ok, good morning, happy Saturday, ready for do-overs and cereal and cartoons :) Vanilla is not the opposite of chocolate. Abbot is not the opposite of Costello. Hymns are not the opposite of Gregorian Chant. There are many Gregorian Chant hymns. …

I seem to recall a big disjunct between the RCIA and the Missal on this point.

By the way, this is the only topic, besides chant interpretation and digital consoles, that customarily causes extremely graphic food fights around here. So let's keep the jokes and skittles coming...

True. But vanilla is not the opposite of chocolate.

I took smh to be an abbreviation of the St. Michael Hymnal, and I wasn't sure what its relevance was to Bobby Darin.

In the Byzantine Rite, the propers are like little hymns.

A basic choir repertoire • 10 Anthems in English and/or 10 Motets in Latin - Your Opinion
As long as the thread is drifting, What percentage of popular music in the second half of the 20th century was written under the influence? And how can I make that an argument for the propers?

Tristropha: duration or rearticulation?

Tristropha: duration or rearticulation?
I told my youth schola it was like a wa-wa pedal. Then I had to explain what a wa-wa pedal is. It was certainly the long way around, but they remembered it very well!

I definitely think each abbreviation should be carefully monitored. Otherwise, the results could be disastrous!

I wonder what the next fad will be. For awhile, hymnals were "comprehensive." Next what? An intriguing thought...
