Prophetiae Vigiliae Pentecostes melismatim decantandae
Wow they are fantastic, bit late for this year we finished our Vigil 4 ½ hours ago! We started at 9am and were finished in 2 ½ hours. I believe at least another 2 places in the U.K. had the full Vigil this year.

I have just tried two tones and it is creating the Magnificat as a pdf.

Common Latin Hymns your congregation likes to sing.
The Veni Creator and the Vexilla Regis have 2 or 3 different texts, so causing confusion. I would like to add all 4 Marian Anthems as we sing them after Mass as is our English Custom. We sing the Solemn versions on Feasts, so our congregations is …

ASCENSION LITURGIES: MMXVII
Matins and Lauds of Easter were anticipated in 1939 As they were in the Sarum usage.

ASCENSION LITURGIES: MMXVII
Holy Week times from 1939, here The Imperial Archive in Rome, (that may still be buried in the ruins) would have had the census records of Augustus (inferred in a Sermon by St. John Chrysostom on the correct date of Christmas), it would also have h…

ASCENSION LITURGIES: MMXVII
As an aside - I find it slightly irritating when trads make fun of "OF people" for not celebrating Ascension Thursday when their EF parishes still celebrate the 'external solemnity' on the Sunday following. That's still chea…

Text for Palestrina's "Viri Galilei"
It would have been used at Vespers, instead of the Chant setting. I have just got back from Vespers where we sang this (chant melody).

Oh no....the guitarist is back! ;-)
What's a "Redemptorist cathedral"? Redemptorist, I usually think of my friends on Papa Stromsay and Christchurch NZ. Sadly their is another type of Redemptorist.

Has someone already done the code for the Magnificat and Benedictus in all the modes? I don't see it on Gregorobase. Yes see here, http://bbloomf.github.io/jgabc/psalmtone.html Choose Magnificat or Benedictus from the drop down menu labeled P…

It depends on the typesetting, some books always have the flat with the clef.

Growing use of the traditional Dominican Rite
Otoh I doubt this level of commitment is widespread. I suspect that ⅓ of our E.F. congregation are reading at least most of the day hours of the Divine Office each day. Not that they are all using the 1962 or even the Roman Breviary. Many are car…

Help identifying this Kyrie?
@MJO I should say that the music was carefully checked by two successive directors of music (OF choir) to weed out compositions with either awful English or awful melodies. Of course much had to go because they used the super-ceded English mistrans…

@Richard R 1. I don't mind really, and I can't see many 'Trads' being upset. Of course there may be some confusion but as long as it is announced, and translations are available it should be fine. It IS Traditional to have di…

We had loads of this sort of stuff in our organ loft, We have been burning it in the fire at the Easter Vigil (EF). The last lot went last year... Sorry.

So... Advent IV falls on Christmas Eve Day this year
@Steve Collins TLM folks need to attend Mass on Sunday*, the Propers used are irrelevant. A Mass at 5.30 pm should use the Propers of the Vigil of Christmas, although I have heard of some places anticipating the Midnight Mass as early as 6pm... *…

Propers for the funeral Mass of a baptized infant - Ordinary Form
Have been to a couple of EF 'Requiem' where we have had the Votive Mass of the Holy Angels, really beautiful... and such a wonderful contrast to the normal (EF) Requiem Mass. The parents involved found it most consoling...

@chonak I can get the web page fixed (I am a Rep of the LMS) @Arthur I have the Vineam de Aegypto Mass in my 1924 Graduale Romanum with markings. I have been meaning to look for the missing pieces in the various supplements I have collected.

Could we... build up a database of the supplements / appendices, I am sure if we all looked in the backs of the books WE have we should have a good selection. Hopefully what we find can be put on Gregobase...

One problem is that the Graduale Roman was published before the Roman Missal or the Lectionary. Or we could write, The Problem is the modern Missale Romanum and Lectionary were published with (almost?) no thought going into the production of a Gra…
