I love this. It clearly conveys a mature faith, but with the innocence and simplicity like that of children. I especially relate to this verse:

Lord, though all heedless
I make …

While these things, in my opinion, are not liturgically correct I don't think you would win a fight over this. If a priest is this comfortable taking these kinds of liberties you can't conv…

I'm quite surprised to see " O Sacrum Convivium" mentioned. I will let you all know I was the DOM who was behind the commission of that piece in 2019 and I love it for a multitude of r…

@EpiphanySacredMusic Can you explain what the ICEL Formula is? I've heard of Meinrad Tones and a few other collections, but I have not heard of the ICEL Formula.

Work in progress at my church so I won't list the whole Mass, but our choir motet was "Nunc Dimittis in D" by George Dyson. It was a huge step up to real literature for my choir.

Let's see where this goes...

A few weeks ago I had the great fortune of picking up a 1st edition set of the Brittanica's Great Books if the Western World. As I began paging t…

Here's the thing, is it perfect? No. But does it offer arrangements of SAB that aren't exactly "dumbed down" for the smaller choir? Yes. Some of the SAB arrangements really emphas…

I like the gospel acclamations. Just an editing not, it might be easier to get a feel for the Alleluia if it were also notated with Neumes. The verses may also benefit from a couple of barlines. I th…

No matter what job one of us takes, the first year or two, the word "No" is your best friend. While I love my work and everything, being able to set boundaries early is so important. I real…

Dr. Michael Accurso has a very comprehensive collection. I like the collection a lot, though at times the psalm tones used for the verses aren't always my favorite, but with a collection this co…

When the big publishers quote "Sing to the Lord" more than "Musicam Sacram," or "Sacrosanctum Concilium" that's when we know they are more interested in profits tha…

Based on the discussion on this thread, I decided when I began a new position two weeks ago to make a switch in software at that time. I went from MS Publisher to Affinity Publisher. I am glad that I…

You might look into Viscount. They seem to be aggressively trying to position their consoles and technology in the hybrid direction. They just released a whole new product line of organs for the Nort…

Hello,

Has anyone ever taught a music reading class to their adult choir members or offered a basic music reading class to prospective choir members? I think it is easy to forget not a…

How does this technology differ from Viscount's Physis technology? My understanding is that Physis creates the 3D model of a pipe with other variables that can be manipulated through some apps. …

Nihil, I've had a number (like 5 or 6) couples/families coming to BSC regularly but also attend Old StMary's regularly. They often try to draw a similarity between our parishes. All I can s…
