Latin stress question
You're right, Mark. do, dare is not a normal 1st conjugation verb. The stress falls on the antepenult of circumdabis, since the penult is short. I find this sounds no stranger than the (correct) accent of Spiritui falling on the antepenult a…

Hymn for Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More
BTW, maybe I'm blanking, but when would Evening Prayer 1 of Several Martyrs, Pastors, Virgins, Holy Women, etc. ever be used?

Hymn for Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More
Was also noticing that one of the options for morning prayer is A Mighty Fortress is Our God. Can't put my finger on why, but it strikes me as inappropriate for these two saints. ;^)

Informed of World-wide Adoration?
I think I heard about it via the Year of Faith Facebook page sometime in April (https://www.facebook.com/YearofFaith.va) which shows up on my news feed. E-mailed my pastor about it May 1. He agreed to it the following Sunday.

Te Deum
I'm assuming that the question is really about what translations of the Te Deum are approved for the Office of Readings. I'm also putting together an Office of Readings service in which I need to use the Te Deum.

How to sing an “Alleluia” taken from the Graduale Simplex
"What is essential to the Mass alleluia is the jubilus..." Am genuinely curious. Are the notes at the end of the alleluia of the Easter vigil considered a jubilus?

Jesus, Lamb of God?
"The fact that the form Agnus is used and not the vocative Agne means that we are not addressing the Lamb, but we are addressing Jesus." My intuition is that Agnus here is an instance of the nominative used in place of vocative (Gildersle…

How did you hear about chanted liturgical music? what got you going?
When I was 7, our choir director (children's choir) taught us Victimae Paschali Laudes for Easter. I don't remember doing much else in chant.

Psallite
I'm trying them for the first time on the 4th Sunday of Lent, as the antiphons seemed more fitting than those in the Simple Gradual.

Bishop Alexander Sample is now Archbishop of Portland
I don't have a GIA hymnal any more, but when I look at the OCP materials, the overwhelming number of paraphrased psalms written in refrain/verse/refrain/verse structure that are found in the "Psalms and Canticles" section are response…

Weekday Chant Propers
Also keep in mind that the Ash Wednesday propers from the Simple Gradual are also intended for use every weekday of Lent. I assume that this would include the use of By Flowing Waters. If you have the introit and offertory lined up from SEP, mayb…

Who sings the propers in the OF?
So I've been wondering about something, and it seems pertinent to this thread. We've often heard that there are four options for chants such as the entrance chant. We can probably all name the four options in order. But the same rubric …

Fr. Weber Epiphany propers
I noticed that too. At least for the communion, you can use Fr. Kelly: http://www.saintmeinrad.edu/media/110095/CK_Communion_Book_2012-08-15.pdf

Pronunciation of H in Latin
To say that ae began to be written in manuscripts as e when the diphthong monophthongized is only partly true. For a long time, ae was regularly written as a digraph, usually in words where classical ae existed, but sometimes in places where it nev…

Help! Translation Needed, Pronto
Sion, praise the Lord, the Savior of all; the maiden/virgin bears a son. God With Us has been born, whom Gabriel foretold, Ezechiel is witness. Let the mouths of all resound with loftiest thanks to you, Holy Trinity.

You are God: we praise you
At this point, with a new translation of the LotH on the horizon, I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to compose a setting of the current "official" translation.

You are God: we praise you
God knows all of our prayers already. He just want to hear us say it.

You are God: we praise you
Thanks, Francis. I was looking for the official translation. I presume that the wording needs to be the same, as if it were the wording of the Gloria for mass.

Comment by Ioannes Andreades November 2012 permalink
You are God: we praise you
Must be a British translation, as the collective nouns in the third stanza have plural verbs. You are God: we praise you; You are the Lord: we acclaim you; You are the eternal Father: All creation worships you. To you all angels, all the powers o…

What about another name for the Responsorial Psalm?
They should call it the second reading. Back in the fourth century, it was considered a reading just like the epistle was, though its delivery differed. For whatever reason, when it was reintegrated back into the O.F. mass, it was no longer though…

What's the deal with the Responsorial Psalm?
licet here means "although" and is a conjunction rather than a verb.

How to reply to objections to the Graduale Simplex
If I remember correctly, aren't some of the simpler communion propers, such as Factus est repente actually taken from office responsories? To say that that there is a hard/fast distinction between mass chants and office chants seems to overloo…

Mihi/Miki: how common
One should keep in mind that even if one encounters michi/miki and nichil/nikil in chant manuscripts, this is not generally the case in all medieval Christian writings and manuscripts. From what I've seen, it is more common in musical manuscri…

Fr. Kelly's communion chants using the new 2011 Missal's texts
Hmm. I guess I'm noticing that the psalm verses as found in SEP (which says, "Psalm verses are taken from The Revised Grail Psalms Copyright © 2010.") differ from those Fr. Kelly's work. I don't understand why such should …
