Re: Gelineau - The Lord is my Shepherd - guitar chords?
"My shepherd is the Lord" is exactly the same as in my copy of CHE - but no chords. I think there is one hymnal ("Hymns Old and New"??) that does have quite a few Gelineau Psalms but no idea whether it has chords or whether there is a sufficient number of Gelineau Psalms that ar...

Re: Palm Sunday for guitars and flute
I often think it would be good if church singers also sang in other situations and genres. My other genre is traditional folk song and I know there are some songs guaranteed to bring in a roomful of people to raise the roof in unaccompanied spontaneous harmony. A bit ironic that it is 'a cappella.'...

Re: Teaching New Music.....
You have no choir (just like us!) - but is there any chance that you could interest a smaller group of people in meeting occasionally to learn the new pieces (hymns, Mass parts etc) for the next week weeks? So even though the majority would be hearing 'em 'cold, there would be some confident voices ...

Re: Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral
Labour economics is a very simple discipline: if everyone who is qualified can get more money elsewhere, then they will do so and this job will not be filled at this rate. If not, then someone will get the job. If someone who is clever gets the job, then they will probably push to improve the condit...

Re: Out with the Inwood, and in with the oldwood
t if we have a multicultural society with many people for whom English is only a second language then priests should be enjoined to acquaint people with key parts of the Mass and its liturgical connotations in Latin. I know this thread is several months old, but I'm only just catching it now. And f...

Re: Guide for Accompanying Mass
I'm not sure that choosing hymns by committee is a brilliant idea, given the entrenched differing views that there are. I notice that JustMary doesn't mention Mass settings, psalms and Gospel Acclamations. Are these not sung - or are they sung unnaccompanied e.g. Missal Chants? Indeed part of the p...

Depending on your neighbourhood, and just what particular distant echos the suddenly-devout remember, it may be considerably safer than leaving them open!

Re: Carols at Midnight Mass
Just reading this now, a little later than most It wasn't my choice, but we ended our vigil Mass (very few midnights here in the Irish republic) with ... wait for it ... Silent Night. We only had a particularly weak keyboard player, so had to give her a lot of freedom re what to do, and she says tha...

Edinburgh - bookshops for 2nd hand hymnals?
Just wondering if anyone knows of 2nd-hand bookshops in Edinburgh where I might pick up hymn-books? I'll be visiting the Haymarket area for a few days, but with a lot of freedom to explore the city. Not looking for antiques, more folky-kind of things (eg 20th Cenury Folk-hymnal vols 2 & 3 are ab...

Re: A year on, what are we singing?
But it's the Gloria which is really causing us problems. We have three settings – one through-composed, one cantor/assembly and one choir/assembly. The assembly likes the first (which I can't stand) and sings it vigorously. I like the third, which the assembly really isn't comfortable with. And noo...

Re: Just in case...
Well when it comes to church, I am an amateur who does things voluntarily, but I like to think that I have an ethical (and theological!) base for what I do. And thanks to our local bus service (about which I a professional information provider), I am not a member of the parish whose church-building ...

Doesn't work. Folk don't read these things. We see this time after time. Ha, ha! What do you think they do during the homily, Nick?

Church services and copyright
Well I sat through the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd welcome some advice on what the legal/copyright implications are for live feed transmissions as our cathedral may have this facility when we re-open. I'm not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, you need to consult a copyright lawyer ...
