Coped Cantors during EF Processions
We (EF) have had coped (Lay) cantor once, it was controversial, Although we can see plenty of examples of (lay) coped cantors in Paris at Masses sung by our Friend in the Schola Sancte Caecilia. As for Dalmatics, I have worn one while carrying a Bl…

Chris... When people hear Lysander, they may not realise we have at least one saint of that name. Praying to obscure saints may have better results, such as praying for the child to be baptised.

Gospels
Matthew Hazell has produced one for the EF, without the synopsis. Although most old Rite Missals had a synopsis.

Chanting the Benedicamus Domino during the week days in the Divine Office
@ethele The Baronius Press version was made I think without knowledge of the Solesmes version. I think Baronius had to take some music from other parts of the Divine Office, as they could not find a source with all the music. While the Solesmes ve…

Responsa ad Dubia concerning Traditionis Custodes
@Salieri We have had a whole series of Popes (from Pius X), that instead of being custodians of the Liturgy, have become tinkerers, revisers, editors, and inadvertent inventors of 'liturgy'. If the the Liturgy is the plaything of the Pope…

UA - Asperges on I Class Feast not a Sunday
Well after you have blessed the Epiphany water (Roman 1890 rite), you do go down the church blessing the faithful... Although it implies the Te Deum is sung at this point! My Rubrics say after the extra prayers the water is blessed as in the Missal…

Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels
@rstclair The ancient hymns of the Roman Office, usually will have Polyphonic settings. Now the Custodes hominem 16th c. and the Aeterne rector St. R. Bellarmine? are perhaps too modern. N.B. The texts in the L.U. are the revised texts, the Aetern…

Tones for Monastic Office (Benedictine Le Barroux)
Well in the old days if the feast was a double you would sing the Antiphon in full before and after the psalm, but if it was not a double you would only sing the first part before the psalm and the complete antiphon afterwards.

@Salieri O.K. in our N.O. parish we do not have a Saturday morning N.O. Mass, although the convent up the road has a N.O. Mass said by our priests. But when a feast falls in N.O. land on a Saturday, the propers from our two evening Masses will be o…

@Nathan_the_Organist In the N.O. 'we' are used to the idea, of a dialogue between priest and people, in some ways they are equally important, some parts of the Mass are said by the priest, and then the people respond. Each have parts of t…
