Re: Post Baptismal Catechesis
JW may be right about the ignorance of some supposedly-educated youngsters. But to keep the debate at the adult level, I have to ask: how many adults, "fully initiated" as children, come to faith - almost as a conversion experience - later on? For them much of the RCIA process is indeed re...

You can find them at http://www.benedicamus.org.uk/chants - the first two seasons'-worth are available now, the rest to follow in due course. If you ...

Re: Eulogies
As I wrote in a previous thread, I am all for eulogies at the beginning of a Funeral Mass, after the coffin has been received and the symbols of faith placed on it, and immediately after the priest's greeting and welcome of the relatives and friends of the deceased: at an emotional time in what for ...

Thanks, Gwyn.
I have a chant project in the pipeline, hopefully issuing forth in the next few weeks. Watch this space!

Re: 'A Big Heart Open To God'
The whole article I found fascinating and inspiring. It's very important to read the context of extracts and quotes. There's enough material in it for a whole week's retreat - or spiritual exercises.

Re: Adoremus in aeternum
There is a continuity between the one I now adore in the form of the Eucharistic Presence and the one I will adore face-to-face, so think I can say to him while he is the Blessed Sacrament that I will love him for ever. That is exactly my point. If I was to say/sing that I will adore Jesus for ever...

Re: Adoremus in aeternum
However traditional 'Adoremus in aeternum' is - I see that Allegri wrote a setting of it - the words are not good theology. We will not be adoring the Blessed Sacrament for all eternity, nor should we wish to. When we are past this earth, we are past sacraments. "We are God's children now; what...

Re: Traditional or Contemporary?
Gradual Hymn? Explain, please. A hymn between the New Testament reading and the Gospel. Interestingly the 1549 Prayer Book and the 1905 English Hymnal both contain the propers for each Sunday which includes the Gradual, translated into English which were chanted at some high very high Anglican chur...

Re: Prayers for Anne Holt
I have just spoken to Anne on the phone. It was only a TIA (transient ischaemic attack). She was discharged from hospital after 36 hours and is now at home and active again. She is very grateful for the prayers of her many friends.

Re: Out with the Inwood, and in with the oldwood
What happens is that the people who have moved to England are not necessarily the ones who have much knowledge of or interest in their own Church music. I recall when the Westminster Music Committee was running a music day some years ago in a parish in central London. I discovered that the local ch...

Re: Realising Bishop Alan's hope
Whenever the Entrance or Communion Antiphon is a psalm verse, you will find that this is taken direct from the Revised Grail Psalter, so not copyright ICEL but administered by GIA. Be careful here. Entrance and Communion verses are often not direct quotations of psalm or other scriptural verses, bu...

Re: Realising Bishop Alan's hope
This is partly due to missal publishers including Entrance and Communion Antiphons without making it clear that these are not obligatory texts for singing... People like singing familiar things and different entrance, offertory, communion and recessional processionals each Sunday would probably hav...
