We sang these as part of a 1st Holy Communion Mass several years ago.

Latin is problematic in many ways and as a lingua franca it is a particular problematic choice because it is so complicated that even after many years of learning it at school it is difficult to free…

davido, this is what you're looking for:

Unless you are one of those who think Christ was actually born on Dec. 25th

He was.

I'd have no problems operating under those guidelines as a guest at your parish MadO. They're pretty straightforward.
Out of curiosity, on what occasions would you have guest ensemb…

Serviam, the setting I've prepared is for two unequal voices; TB or SA (or possibly AT if you transpose it up a third or a fourth). If you have men (or women) with strong low ranges, you can tra…

We very easily could have had a Mass that was Tridentine in substance but with increased vernacular

No, thank you! The use of Latin (with the little bits of Greek and Hebrew) is a feat…

Here's my (quick) attempt at a harmonization.

I might take a look after I finish a few other things.

Guys, can we just stop this stuff for now please? It's unproductive.

Ideally, there would be more than just an organist/director. There should also be 2-4 paid section leaders to ensure you can perform higher quality music and to help aid the learning of less experien…

For you a cappella Renaissance Mass lovers out there... (but it's in English)

Knowing the ranges of the singers would be necessary and also to know how free of a hand should an arranger have to set this for TTBB? Simply transposing this probably won't work from the brief …

Also, the idea that a single church job would be the sum total of a musician’s earnings is not a historical idea.

In our times, so long as churches want musicians to work full-time hou…

I'm of the opinion that, in the majority of cases/places in the USA, you can't be a bread winner for a family as a church musician. The pay just isn't there.

I personally LOVE using drones when chanting! They take such nice aerial photos of the schola and surrounding church!

Stulte,

If it were my decision....
I know, I know. We live in difficult times.

How can singing with masks be done, either singing chant Propers or any kind of polyphony, safely?
How anyone can breath properly with those on while doing something like singing is beyond me.…

there should have been a major overhaul of seminaries, and real effort in parishes to educate priests and people in the appreciation of the great patrimony that the Roman Rite had. That patrimony is …

For the continuous use of the 1962 Roman Missal it's the other way around: for pastoral reasons its use was explicitly granted as an exception to the regular liturgical life of the Church for a …

I wish that trads would spend their energy pushing for a Latin, ad orientem Novus Ordo.
Real question: how many of you on here would be equally satisfied with a chanted, Latin, ad orientem Nov…

I guess she needed more introspection about her own pious failings. She has payed the penalty of introspection and sorrow that now spans decades. She’s no schismatic, having attended novus ordo mass …

My hope is that these clarifications will persuade bishops and priests to cease expending futile effort and resources promoting and perpetuating the TLM

There's no good reason to …

Palestrina is good, but I could easily level against his Masses the same charge as that which is levelled against Vivaldi's concertos.
I strongly suspect that this is in no small part due…
