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

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 …

Not can't... Simply won't.

I'm not defending Koopman or the other fella because I revere them... Quite simply, they are fellow musicians and I believe that it is the ch…

While most assuredly there are disparities - it's one thing to acknowledge and question them.... It's another entirely of accusing the artist in question of knowingly "lying" and …

I loved studying Carillon at KU. I wish I would have finished pursuing a double major in Organ and Carillon there....

There's plenty of time to do so in my future!

As I am also a convert from Lutheranism (LC - Missouri Synod), I have a personal dilemma with that hymn. Where I grew up, it was sung, intended, and expounded in sermons about how it is specifically …

Easy fix - learn the Solemn (or Monastic) tone!

I (and my choir) ADORE Francis Xavier Witt and Rheinberger! There are so many good options, but those two are absolutely divine!

As a convert from (High Church) Lutheranism, I love hymns, but I was very glad to see a proper Roman Liturgy without the liberty of hymns being taken.
