I just wish that people would get the 2nd note of the 2nd phrase of the verses right!!!!!

That particular tune is one I really, really dislike. All those crotchets, one after another. There must be an alternative ........ I have found recordings on YouTube that uses essentially the same tune as found in Celebration Hymnal, but with a few dotted crotchets rather than the relentless strea...

The CC Sequence is optional. We've never used it.... We've never used it either. In fact CC is a dead duck in our parish, despite priests reinstating some form of procession from time to time. As regards the Pentecost Sequence, I'll mention the Veni Sancte Spritus by Walker and the one from Taize, ...

I am aware of what the Missal says but it does seem something of an anomaly. On all other Solemnities the Creed is said whether it be Sunday or weekday. When you celebrate an octave of Solemnities it is only Sunday? I am with you now - interesting point! I wonder if there is anything to do with the...

My understanding (FWIW) is that the Gloria is said/sung on every day of Easter week, but the Creed ... only on Easter Sunday and the 2nd Sunday of Easter... That's what my Weekday Missal says. However, it also adds that the Easter Sequence may be said or sung every day during Easter week - is that ...

My understanding (FWIW) is that the Gloria is said/sung on every day of Easter week, but the Creed / Renewal of Baptismal Promises only on Easter Sunday and the 2nd Sunday of Easter - and that the Dismissal with double Alleluias is used through to Pentecost Sunday.

I am 100% with Southern Comfort on this. Very good, sensible comments.

It was accepted when our children were that age that I had my job to do and the children sang in my choir.........

I had a feeling there had been a similar topic in the past, but can't actually find it... Apologies in advance is this is a duplication! The thread you are thinking of, Hare, is http://www.ssg.org.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=611/ , and very sad reading it is, as the originator, despite many s...

I had a feeling there had been a similar topic in the past, but can't actually find it... Apologies in advance is this is a duplication!   We all make mistakes from time to time, and suffer problems caused by others.  In over 40 years of playing in church, at the end of last year I had the worst &qu...

Indeed. A dreadful ditty, I've only ever had to endure it once. Deo Graatias. I was brought up with Come to the manger , and don't think it's quite as bad as all that! Gatty was not the most wonderful of composers, admittedly, but Sidney Peirce Waddington's arrangement makes it a whole lot better, ...

Not IMHO! We had a PP once who insisted on "Come to the manger" He was only here for a year thankfully!

At the Saturday evening Mass tonight, in the (said) Psalm: "With strumpets and the sound of the horn...."
