Thank you for this project! Just letting you know that the folder seems to be open with no request needed. Not sure if that's a deliberate change or what.

Yes it's worth purchasing. I bit the bullet and bought it and AR I when they were on sale a few months ago. It's simpler just having the books on hand instead of my old practice of assembli…

Just chiming in to say how thankful I am for all your work on the Sarum project, Dr Renwick.

This doxology is used because it maintains the hymn's address to Mary rather than switching to the Trinity, adapted from the doxology used in similarly addressed office hymns of the same meter (…

The recent Divine Office hymnal, which contains a blank verse translation of the text, notes it as "based on a 15th century trope on the Salve Regina, emended by the CDW, 2018," with no edi…

@AngelaR is working on such a project right now. See this blog post, with her (ongoing) transcriptions at the bottom. Full post is worth reading, which details why the transcrip

"O Beauty, ancient, ever new,/ Make him a light that leads to You." Very nice, @Kathy. Excellent work as ever.

For lauds, in choosing an antiphon from the options in the common of pastors, I found it amusing, for obvious reasons, to use the antiphon Stolam iucunditatis, "The Lord clothed him with a robe o

1. I can't cite a canon on this but I'm fairly sure that, for public liturgy, any English translation you use has to be the officially-approved one. Consult your diocese about this.

I think so? The foreword to the Liber Hymnarius notes two kinds of liquescents: figurae auctae, such as this, which are elongated, and figurae deminutae, which are shortened. For a translation of th…

Felt I should bump this ancient thread just to let anyone interested know that Lentini's Hymni instaurandi is on the Internet Archive. I've been spending a few weeks painstakingly using Goog

Have heard of this project and interacted a bit with one of its members over on the Divine Office subreddit. They've released a draft volume of invitatories for public comment. Pleased to see it…

The new Divine Office Hymnal uses an English setting based on the Graduale's Tonus simplex. But that's a pricey book. At this site are two settings made by

Not sure if anyone still wants or needs this, but since the above forum links are dead, here is the same translation, which comes from Lauds, Vespers and Compline in English (Liturgical Press, 1965).…

A squeezed Advent with a Monday Christmas is making things a bit tricky this year.

So I bought it anyway and will try to write a decent review when I've had more than a cursory look at it. Some first impressions, then:

I'm happy to see a lot textual/musical…

I was going to buy it anyway to give it a fair shake and maybe write a review but holy cow, GIA's shipping is absurd. $18 domestic shipping, for one book!

Anyone who wishes to examine the the new hymns for themselves without buying the book: google "icel gray book hymns" and add various phrases like "christmas" or "easter"…

@romanticstrings My own issue isn't the lack of rhyme, although rhyme is arguably definitional in the tradition of English hymnody; it's the rather dry and prosaic tone the texts take, plus…

The Emancipation Proclamation wasn't self-enforcing. It took the US Army to make it happen. This particular celebration began in 1865 by newly-freed people, and it grew into something much bigge…

Some liturgical archaeology. The four proper hymns for the feast of Joan of Arc first appeared in the Vatican's Acta in 1910 along with full mass and office propers of the feast.

LA misleadingly asserts that the only permissible way to be accurate is to be as literal as possible down to the word order itself. Which is a pretty outrageous claim given how little word order mat…
