I was also involved in the planning efforts for that chant workshop in Toledo. Since Earl_Grey moved out of the diocese, I may well be the only CMAA member left. I'm primarily an organist, but I…

I highly recommend the music of Dom Paul Benoit, O.S.B. When I discovered him about 6 years ago, it was a revelation that changed the way I think about liturgical organ music. I was still a recent co…

The Muller company (http://www.mullerpipeorgan.com) tends to favor the American Classic style, so if you're looking to combine French and English influences, they might be an option to consider.

If you (the priest) want to sing along with the congregation on hymns and other music, that's wonderful, but please switch off your wireless microphone. When the priest's heavily amplified …

Our music is mostly run-of-the-mill contemporary stuff, but there were two highlights this weekend. First, our men's schola sang the All Souls chants from the SEP at the Saturday anticipated Mas…

Wikipedia has a list of music score software; maybe you'll recognize what you're looking for: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_scorewriters

It looks like maybe our former choir director borrowed the first few measures from the Labat piece and set the entire text to that. Maybe that was the only part of it he liked, or maybe his choir bac…

At a parish where I sometimes attend Mass, the choir has been singing this setting of "Regina Coeli" longer than anyone remembers. The only sheet music for it was hand-written by a former c…

For chant accompaniment, I normally use just the Swell 8' flute and pedal 16' with the Swell coupled to the Pedal. If the singers are having trouble hearing the organ or staying on pitch, I…

As a newcomer to a church community, you never know who's related to whom, especially in an old church with families that have been around for generations and have many branches and lots of diff…

At a previous job as an organist, while I was still in college, the pastor would frequently demand a change to the music ten minutes before Mass. Usually he wanted a song that matched the theme of hi…

"148 Interludes for Organ", published by Kevin Mayhew. One of the most useful books of organ music I've ever purchased. I don't remember where I bought it, but I'm sure Googl…

Perhaps my experience may be helpful to someone. I studied piano from 4th grade through 8th grade. My dad taught me; I never had formal piano lessons. This was supplemented with music classes in scho…

For the Extraordinary Form, the only option is St. Joseph, Toledo: http://www.stjosephstoledo.com/
They also celebrate the Novus Ordo, and communion is always distributed at the altar rail. Th…

I always ask the complainer to name specifically which hymn or other piece of music during the Mass they thought the organ was too loud/soft. If they can do this, I take a serious look at the registr…

My bishop has a weekly radio program where he answers questions from listeners, and he was once asked if a Catholic organist could substitute at a Protestant church. The bishop said yes, that is fine…

We had the collection immediately after the adoration of the cross. No announcement or anything; the ushers just walked up after the last person in line.
