Re: Easter 2021

The Easter liturgies seem to have gone nicely despite restrictions. Many parishes have done well in using social media to provide access.

Origins of the Preface

Good evening brethren and sistren, I wonder can anyone throw a little light on the origin and history of The Preface to the Eucharistic Prayer? To my shame I so often take the Preface for granted, often listening out for crucial cue-words such as "May our voices be one with them . . . " Th...

Re: Involving visitors - music of First Holy Communion

. . . have a rite of blessing and sprinkling water to remind everyone, including the children, of their baptism, since 1st Communion is part of the initiation process. Then you can do a sprinkling song with a refrain, which will assist participation.

Re: Pronunciation

Paul Inwood's chat on the matter of mispronounced bible book names, and words such as covenant is hysterically funny.

Re: 16ft manual stop:
It can be useful, I sometimes draw it for a final verse of a rousing hymn, then play the verse up an octave. This gives added zing.

Depends on the voicing.
Hence "can" and "sometimes." :wink:

Re: Antiphonal Singing of Latin Plainchant Mass Settings

Keraulophon notes:
Most of those seated near me were not able to join in the traditional Latin prayers and plainsong melodies. Apparently it's not only in the UK that familiarity has been lost!
A tragedy, and on our watch. Shame on us.
