Re: The Queen's Platinum Jubilee

Love your precision as always, SC, but does one say that a noun "declines" or "is declined"?

Just askin'

Re: " . . Old forgotten far-off things, and battles long ago"

Thanks for responding, John Ainslie (and thanks, Moderator, for sorting out my missing Subject line), but my question was not so much "What should I get my choir to sing", but more "do I re-engage in all the arguments we had ten or more years ago about what should be sung, (in our cas...

Re: New 'Phase 4' Guidelines

Quite disappointed not to have generated any discussion of this - have I blundered into one of those things that we just don't talk about - "more honoured in the breach" and all that?

Re: Singing again

What is Shrine Mass 11? Come to that, what is Shrine Mass? Entering "Shrine Mass" into a Well-Known-Search-Engine tells me (via an Equally-Well-Known-Advisor-On Journeys) that it is one of three shrines in Massachussetts, and if "11" is two and not eleven it would be the Nationa...

"Responsorial" Gloria

Thinking it's probably still a good idea to avoid hymn books and music leaflets for the time being I'm going to reintroduce our congregation to singing again by including, among other things, a "Responsorial" Gloria. As we haven't sung such since the days of the (old translation) Lourdes G...

Re: New 'Phase 4' Guidelines

. . . the Bishops are hoping to reintroduce the Sunday obligation on the First Sunday of Advent. I had rather hoped that this mediaeval approach might be allowed to fade quietly away. I have never really understood why those who believe themselves to have been granted the keys to the kingdom of hea...

Re: The Great Awakening

Not sure what point you are making, Oops - but then I'm not sure what point you were making with the OP! - and far from sure what the liturgical connections or implications are - ?

Clearly I'm among the "anyone else" who are not awake.

Re: Bishops' Vademecum for Holy Week 2021

Thanks, John Ainslie, for some useful ideas, particularly the simplification of the Alleluia which I shall try to persuade the PP to use. Could I divert you for a moment to what happens in a "normal" year, the directions for which still leave me bemused - seeming to have been put together ...

Re: Bishops' Vademecum for Holy Week 2021

I've failed to find this on the Liturgy Office website, so here it is attached. Thanks for a useful link - I'd also failed to find any such advice on the L O website - and also on the (rather impenetrable) website of the Archdiocese of Birmingham. A couple of details seem to be missed: - The Exsult...

Re: Virtual Choir Software - MixPad

I unfortunately missed the workshop - is it available to watch "on demand" in any way - or even an old-fashioned write-up to read?

Re: The Government's Guidelines for Public Worship II - the return of choir groups

Keitha: is it "the use of cantors" that has "gone" or the restriction "only where essential" ?

Re: COVID-19 - Latest information from the Liturgy Office

Re: Help, Lord, the souls that thou hast made

After a fruitless search of the forum I wonder if anyone remembers the hymn which began "Merciful Saviour, hear our humble prayer, For all thy servants passed beyond life's care . . . " (sung to the Old124th) and has any idea why it has dropped out of the repertoire? - is it perhaps "...

Re: Litany Of The Saints at Easter Vigil - Dare I ask . . ?

I'm not sure we ever resolved this to evryone's satisfaction, but may I ask: - if there is to be Reception but not a Bapstism does that have any effect on what is said or sung (and I suppose I'm mainly talking about the Litany although there still remains the minor question of that little Antiphon &...
