Society of Saint Gregory

Hi HP - thanks indeed for the offer of help. Much appreciated. It is a mini-project I've been mulling over for a couple of years, but given the experience at Westminster, it has pushed me into trying something more locally. I will be in touch via PM.. Thanks indeed.

Thanks Gwyn and SC - really helpful starts for me there. I will let you know...

Thanks SC - I had tried them in my original search, but you are right that it clearly the most likely place. I don't see it on their website, but will give them a call tomorrow.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Gwyn, many thanks for coming back to me, and for sending me the sample PDF. Much much appreciated. Yes, it was Vespers basically that I was looking to do. The simpler the better for me, but as I said, I am keen that (especially for the verses) that there is some level of accompaniment. Once I ...

Dear colleagues, like many, I love the "new" website - significant key advantage being that it is now readable on a variety of devices etc. Great work. I might be wrong, but in the updated forum, I think I miss the RSS feed option which I am sure was there in the old one? Has anyone else noticed ...

Hello all - for some time I have been trying to make some kind of start into (on specific occasions) singing the Divine Office. It has been somewhat of a long term thing, but has recently come back into focus for me since being at Westminster Cathedral some weeks ago (in fact on the feast of St ...

Dear friends I was at a largish event away from my own parish, some weeks ago, and heard (and sung!) for the first time, the Mass of St Andrew by Christopher Tambling. I felt that this was very accessible for congregations, and have considered introducing it locally during this coming year, once we ...

Alles Gut in Munich Work commitments have (unusually) kept me in Munich this weekend, and I found a "local" medium-sized Parish in Southern Munich this morning for the 11am Heilige Messe. I don't speak much German at all, but what a treat. A very modern church, set in a rectangle, with the ...

Like!

Dear HP.. I can't add much to the fantastic suggestions already made, but one thing I did want to offer was a Hymn Suggestion !! Some years ago I was at a music day where we were invited to "renew" our commitment to our ministry as part of the broader day. I was very taken with the opening hymn to ...

Dear all - thanks for the great suggestions. Peter, in particular, thanks - what a great idea - I had not noted that it was CM, although looking even at the way the words are laid out in the Hymn Book I should have realised sooner!! But in general you do give there a really useful tip which I ...

Hi all - a number of recent posts have discussed the subject of New Music, and also I note people talking to the congregation before mass with appropriate messages like "Don't stop singing when the organ stops, etc" - which is all brilliant. As I have become increasingly braver with music selections ...

Seems this is very quickly sorted!! Thanks VML. I also realised later on this morning that it's in the Celebration Hymnal for Everyone - Hymn 502 I believe.

Hi High Peak - welcome aboard!

I have a friend who is evangelical about the Gelineau Psalms and is also a guitarist. I don't believe they are an SSG forum user (yet!) but I will contact him today and pass on your question directly in case they have what you are looking for.

Dear Peter and HallamPhil - thanks for your helpful suggestions. I will have a look at both of these tonight. Much appreciated..
