It's so small, but I adore the Rheinberger Confirmation Hoc Deus (not the proper) from the St. Gregory Hymnal. It is such sublime writing for something so small.

It is 4 voices, …

The art is by no means AI. While not old Missal Art (whether it should be or not is another story), it is being specially created for them.

It is amazing to me, as a former Lutheran (LCMS) at how long it takes people to sing hymns outright ... On average, my congregation took a a chorale prelude, and a single verse before they were full …

We typically use "on this day, O Beautiful Mother", "Maria zu Lieben", Arcadelt's "Ave Maria", and the chanted "Regina Caeli".

This typical…

For personal renewal, I would go to my (oblate) monastery and simply work and pray with the monks. I have done this for simpler (1-2 week retreats) and it has been the most amazing renewal I have eve…

By no means am I trying to negate or diminish the good work that has been done here!

Just so you know, a set almost identical to this has been put together and published by Fr. Samuel…

Meanwhile, I'm seeing this and thinking - that's similar to how I would write and communicate that. Edit as you feel you need to, and focus on editing for who your audience is... That said,…

Here is our book of Tenebrae adapted for use at St. Mary's in Sleepy Eye, MN.

I understand that many may not wish to use this becuase it is neither the Vetus Ordo office, nor is …

Oh, francis! I like that idea.... Maybe even a rotating schedule of the Ordinary....

Week 1- Kyrie I, Gloria II, Credo I, Sanctus III, Agnus IV
Week 2- Kyrie V, Gloria VI, Credo…

I am thoroughly looking forward to breaking out Fr. Xavier Witt's "Meditabor" this Sunday. Such a divine piece...

For my part, I chose to make a reduction only of the final verses. By keeping it 5 part, I simply eliminated the second choir aspect of the piece. The only time I had to make any decisions with editi…

I will do call and response type practice, and then speak rhythmically based on what I want the tempo to be, and so on and so forth. When they are speaking rhythmically, I then start playing the chor…

Not necessarily best practice, but this is what happens at my parish. (Let it be known, we have not utilized EM'sHC since Covidtide, except in recent history on Easter/Christmas day(s).)

Just for anecdotal confusion:

Conception Abbey, whether in Vigils or in Sext, if one psalm is split into different sections, it is said under one antiphon with the GP being sung at the…

Honest inquiry,

What about the spines look so horrendous?

As a former bell choir director, and as a member of a small bell quartet in College, I love the "instrument". It's fantastic for community outreach, and for fun, but its harder to use …
