@Jonathan_Culbreath, thanks for reminding me! He is a dear, dear man, a stellar composer, and has been very supportive of my research. He presented me with a lovely autographed copy. I think we shall…

St. Dominic in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, California occasionally celebrates this rite.

At least that verse is in Matthew Britt's 1922 The Hymns of the Breviary and Missal. If you can find a hard or searchable copy, you may be able to track it down. I looked under Corpus Christi bu…

Yes. We are printing both the Latin and the English in a Parish hymnal. We generally only sing the Latin, but it's nice to see a good poetic English version.

Thanked by 1M. Jackson Osborn
There are a couple of errors in the transcription, I think. The dotted breve (square punctum) in California Mission manuscripts--at least in the ones at the Santa Clara Mission choir books--are alway…

NihilNominis, we will be sixteen trained singers.

francis, agreed about the things that Holy Mother Church prefers--and asks of us in clearest possible terms. That is why, at all nine of our weekend Masses at our predominantly Hispanic and African A…

A clarification: at our parish we do not use the piano at Mass. All Masses, English, Spanish, Latin, and the occasional other language (some Archdiocesan Masses are celebrated at our parish) are acco…

Did you complete the Spanish setting?

Thanked by 1Richard Mix
You know, the Graduale (/Triplex/Novum/Simplex) has (have) a setting in plainsong, in very, very old Spanish. :D

I was asking about this some time ago, and I think I was either speaking to @janetgorbitz or @M. Jackson Osborn, but somehow the conversations stopped.

Janet, I think you have…

In the mission repertoire, the use of the rhombus, bread, semibreve, and long come from the prontuarios of late-Renaissance and early-Baroque Spain (which were reprinted through at least the end of t…

Thanked by 1M. Jackson Osborn
And this is just one choirbook, but in general, one will only find the breve, long, and rhombus (along with the dot) in Durán's choirbooks. In choirbooks by other scribes, the virga and various …

All this is evidence of a degenerate chanting style - degenerate in relation to presumed very early, seminal, methods

Lately, I have begun to bristle at the term "degenerate"…

Thanked by 1M. Jackson Osborn
Ah! Figured it out. Here are three examples, all from the same choirbook, showing an adaptation of the single melody for almost all introits.

Thanked by 4Arthur Connick igneus M. Jackson Osborn gregp
gregp, that is not correct. They certainly had music books at the Missions! Most did not survive; still, the surviving corpus constitutes the largest collection of colonial Spanish music north of Mex…

M. Jackson Osborn, I don't know how to upload a photo, but I have an example I'd like to show you.

Thanked by 2gregp M. Jackson Osborn
Let me see if I have photos. I did not photograph the choirbook in question, but I have a complete photographic copy of another choirbook, in the same hand as that, but from another Mission. Since I …
