Ok that settles it. Were chanting Latin, and displaying a la duplex the unsingable translation on the slide show. The translation is very matter-of-fact and not poetic. I will keep my ears open f…

I have to agree. The use of a gathering song has changed the first part of mass into a gathering rite.
Wow the in every age is really really bad, bleaching my ears now.

Pipe Organ with Musician, or, Caliope with player scroll. I might be inclined to compromise with the digital instrumentation. Hold on pipe organs are the original digital instruments.

Actually you are a member of a Schola in need of direction. You would do well to use the practice as a chance for you to learn from the others.

June is NOT pride month.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart.
Pride is still a sin.

Why would anyone be opposed? What could be the downside? It is as fundamental to a well rounded education as is knowledge of Greek and Latin.

By the way this is a pastor who showed up yesterday to the school awards ceremony in a tight black muscle t shirt. I will never get that most unwelcome inappropriateness out of my head.

I guess I am from a time when a person would buy one newspaper from the rack, take two, and place one on top of the rack for a poorer person. In my humble and possibly unique opinion if there were a …

Grocery work is for the young and healthy. We old people with chronic heart and pancreatic conditions will simply fade away.

I have been rationing medication because there is nowhere to earn a living right now. I don’t usually do that but what else are you going to do when the bishop and pastor closes the church, says we’l…

That’s great how about a help when you cannot receive income.

One parish council basically told us musicians, through the pastor, that from now on one weekend per month you must work without pay. Aka 25% pay cut. What a mess, glad it’s not my home parish. Al…

You have to pity a priest living with such sin (forbidding the liturgical music). You can’t tell them that, but do have pity on their souls. Let his bishop work things out for you. No need to try …

I would guess you are using a font that does not include the ǽ character, causing a substitution from a slightly dissimilar font.

Settefrati93,
I had a great priest tell me those who are dismissive of chant and the propers are in sin. Then I had a popular priest tell me that great priest was an idiot. Those are some rar…

Laser technology. I use a laser printer to print large solfeggio syllables and a laser pointer to point to them. That’s a good choir warm up for learners.

Fortunately I play with other choirs and cantors, so not a huge loss. Someday I'll be old enough to make a more significant contribution to music. Certainly feel old enough, rheumatoid arthriti…

The problem or situation I find is that funeral attendees find themselves in an unfamiliar place (church). We're lucky if we can get them to say "Amen" at the right places.

I sometimes play the Sunday Spanish mass as a ringer. Music is typically from United In Christ and Flor Y Canto. Greatest part of participating in the Spanish mass was convincing the Spanish-only-s…

The homilist who uttered that Easter is a Fraud was of course a Jesuit, and he meant it in the sense that "The body was on the loose", and he was just sick of the way Holy Week is portrayed…

Thanked by 2Jes CHGiffen
For Resurrection Sunday, one of our priests homilized that "Easter is a fraud." and prefaced that remark by saying "I'm probably going to get in trouble for saying this..."

In my experience the priests love Latin and chant but are more afraid of the parishioners who hate it with a passion. Therefor Latin and chant is sadly/confusingly banned in the parishes.
