Re: Journal
The next issue is due to be mailed this week.
'Pax omnibus de liminibus' is what I think you were looking for, PhPh, but there are too many busses there for it to be elegant Latin.

Re: The Preparation of the Gifts is not usually an appropria
Does it make a difference if we name it Offertory Procession? Shuffle of feet and clink of pennies. Movement. What about dance? Some four or more years ago there was a public meeting in Westminster Cathedral (on the 1st of April, if I remember correctly!) at which Cardinal Arinze, the Nigerian then...

Re: The Preparation of the Gifts is not usually an appropria
"The Preparation of the Gifts is not usually an appropriate place for a hymn." Explain! Would someone please identify the said 'Centre of Excellence' and also quote the entire paragraph or whatever in which this statement occurs? Now I grant you that an unthinking "we must have a hym...

Re: Liturgical Tourism
I feel strongly that, where a Sunday Mass is normally sung, some singing should be provided every Sunday. Music leadership is a ministry to the community, helping them to praise God. Does God take August off? I think not. In my 29 years as music leader in my parish, I made it a point of honour and f...

Re: Liturgical Tourism
On Sunday 6th September I was in Boppard-am-Rhein, ten miles south of Koblenz. Big German-Romanesque church, officially a minor basilica. Excellent professional organist who could really lead the congregation as well as play - on the previous day he had entertained a respectable midday crowd to a co...

Summer School 2015 - places still available!
It's still not too late to book a place at this year's Summer School - and in a nice countryside location in this hot weather! There are still some bedrooms free - and we really don't want to pay High Leigh for empty bedrooms! The FREE places for 18-35s are also still open. And there are plenty of £...

Re: Enrance Antiphon for Ss Peter & Paul - source?
Jn 1: 6-7; Lk 1: 17 (I think) No, this is the reference for today's feast, The Birth of St John the Baptist. This new one for SS Peter & Paul is a bit of a mystery. The Missal asserts no biblical reference for the text at all, not even a "cf. ...". In fact, the second half has an allu...

Of your charity, please pray for the repose of the soul of Timothy Campbell, faithful SSG member, Summer School participant and the Society's representative in the diocese of Brentwood, who died suddenly in hospital last Thursday evening.

To Heaven's Door: The Music of Faith
I have been asked, presumably as SSG's Westminster diocesan rep, to bring this free event to your attention. It was advertised in the Tablet last weekend. Its advertisement says: If I travel in your company, you know the way to heaven's door. George Herbert, Church Music Music can give voice to our ...

Re: Music and Liturgy: Letter to the Editor
Are De Angelis and Credo 3 actually proper Gregorian chant? When compared to the rich repertoire of Propers? In my view, no, they are not - and both Salve Regina (simple tone) and Regina coeli come into this category. Their uncompromising major-key tonality sets them apart from the older, modal rep...

Re: Music and Liturgy: Letter to the Editor
Firstly, the SSG has recently experienced problems with its email system. Apologies to all emailers whose messages disappeared into cyberspace. Hopefully full communications will be restored shortly. Secondly, I agree with Ephrem Feeley that the choice of music must depend on local circumstances - w...

Re: O clap your hands
One of my most memorable liturgical 'moments' was at Mass for/with the local Catholic primary school in about 1973 - when Ascension Day was still correctly celebrated on its Thursday. The well-prepared child duly read 'All people, clap your hands' with acclamation, and the entire congregation, led b...
