Re: On Liturgical Formation
A fabulous document, full of insight, and restating the imperative for the whole (Western) Church to unite around the renewed/reformed liturgy. I really like the observation that we would not be able to understand Christ's suffering and death as the supreme act of liturgical worship if we had not ha...

Re: Easter Blessings!
I caught Covid on Wednesday of Holy Week. I asked my daughter Maura to take over from me, leading a 30 strong music/ choir team through the Triduum & Easter Sunday for the first time. Together, they did an amazing job; with 15 people received into the church there were a lot acclamations to nav...

Re: Easter Sequence
Obligatory on Easter Sunday, optional on the 2nd Sunday, but never (afaik) at the Vigil.

Re: Virtual Choir Software - MixPad
What is the difference between MixPad and Audacity? Does MixPad do something more than Audacity? Is it more user-friendly? Definitely more musician-friendly, to my eye. It's easy in MixPad to display bars and beats rather than a raw time scale, has tools for, e.g., pitch correction, and handles mid...

Virtual Choir Software - MixPad
If you were at the Virtual Choirs workshop last week, you know that neither I (a Mac user) nor any of the Windows experts who were present had any particularly appealing suggestions for a free Windows-compatible alternative to Mac tools for music production such as GarageBand. I'm happy to say that ...

Seed Scattered and Sown
From another thread long ago: I looked at this list and thought "Who is Dan Feiton?!" It turns out that Dan Feiten (correct spelling) wrote only one song that has lasted, Seed, Scattered and Sown , a fairly folksy offering (1987) which I remember from some American hymnals of bygone years ...

Re: St Chad's, Birmingham
A lot of credit to the excellent organist (Nigel Morris?) too; a magnificent voluntary at the end which I think was an improvisation of 'O God our help in ages past' (the recessional hymn) I wonder if he played the (misnamed) 'St Anne' Fugue by Bach? It's what Anthony usually played when we sang O ...

Re: Learning the organ
Here's a nice version of it; the same arrangement (and about the same tempo, I think!) that we sang in Salford.

Re: Learning the organ
Thanks pdsfd, those are heart-warming things to hear. :) I wonder if your experience counts as good evidence in support of putting the 'dots' on the people's sheet week in week out? A regular attender at the Cathedral would end up being able to read music whether they liked it or not. :) As for the ...

Re: Westminster Cathedral choir
It looks as though this is an attempt to fix falling numbers: since not many parents want their seven-year olds to board full time, the change is aimed at widening access to the choir rather than restricting it. I sympathise with the predicament - any kind of change will meet with resistance, and in...

Re: One License takes over from Calamus
The fee needs to be viewed in perspective. Yes, it is trebling. But it's still very low - about £3 per week in the case quoted. Actually I don't think it is trebling. I think Nick was looking at the US rates, in dollars and then mentally converting to pounds (Baty, pers. comm. :) ) If you go here a...
