Re: Liturgical Tourism
... Disappointed though that we were asked not to join in the responses (as the server was deemed to be responding on behalf of the congregation). This was not how I remember from the 'olden days' where I first started going to Mass - we were then doing what was called a Dialogue Mass I believe, wi...

Re: WANTED wedding psalm
Welcome to the Forum, AGM! Any relation to the AGM credited with some of the response tones in the Grail Psalm collections you mention?

Re: Liturgical Tourism
Just one little change I'd make to Oops' CD cover: Every CD marketed should be obliged to carry on the front the message.... "You don't really need this just sing the Gospel Acclamation and the Sanctus and a few hymns that everyone knows". The congregational singing at the now-long-disappe...

Re: Liturgical Tourism
Anyway they had a tape backing for some hymns which were standard fare. No acclamations. The problem with the tape backing was that it stretched people's voices too early in the morning. 40-odd years ago at the church my parents went to then (no longer in existence), we tried playing taped hymn acc...

Re: A rather delightful Kyrie and Agnus Dei
Was it Haydn who said the thought of God always made him cheerful? He may well have said it, but I gather that his reply to criticism of the style of his Masses was that he preferred to praise God with a cheerful voice. Maybe that's the quote you're thinking of, Alan? Either way, it's a good princi...

Re: Liturgical Tourism
After the splendours of St Stephen’s, Vienna, the following Sunday saw me once again in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Roden, in the north of the Netherlands. As with all my previous visits there it was a Liturgy of the Word with Eucharist (LoW&E), because of the shortage of priests. Two laym...

Re: Liturgical Tourism
Visiting Vienna as part of an Interrail tour in the wake of an orchestra tour playing mainly Haydn, the obvious choice for me regarding Sunday Mass today was St Stephen's Cathedral, where Haydn sang as a choirboy (not to mention its other association with famous musicians). It didn't dissappoint. Th...

Re: Hymns for Confirmation?
Apologies for the late addition to this thread, I hope not too late to be of help to Quaeritor. It's a while since I've played at Confirmation Masses and even then I had no influence over the choice of hymns, but those who did choose them did not seem to confine themselves to explicitly Spirit-relat...

Re: Easter Sunday morning Masses
Don't you mean, HP, that it's easier to negotiate with a terrorist than with a PP? He doesn't sound like much of a liturgist to me! Our Vigil is also at 8, which seems to have become the norm, but given the long-range weather forecast it could be wet, so we may have the fire indoors anyway. Still, i...

Re: Proms
... I was not happy with the choice of congregational chorales at the Passion - why not one of the chorales from the Passion itself? The real highlights were both John Eliot Gardiner who have severely criticised in the past. The Berlioz Damnation of Faust and the late night Schutz and Bach were sup...

Re: Muzak for the Mass
A church in France I've visited a couple of times appears to use a mixture of live and recorded music but does so very effectively; I reported on it under the "Liturgical Tourism" heading here https://www.ssg.org.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1511#p21148 , so I won't repeat now what I ...

Re: Ace Maria
Then theres the bride who wanted "that song from Robin Hood" expecting the schmaltzy Bryan Adams "Everything I do...." and instead got the silly bit of the Rossini overture that was used for the old B&W TV series. I'm not altogether convinced it was a mistake. The link in th...

Re: Proms
Dare I, on a Catholic forum, nominate the trio of concerts that made up the Reformation Day on 20th August? :? The first was an organ recital taking Bach's "Orgelbüchlein" as its inspiration but including chorale preludes by other composers, up to the present day, as well. One of them was ...

Re: Liturgical Tourism
Finding Mass in provincial Netherlands can be tricky, so it was no surprise to find that today’s service in the Church of Our Lady of the Sea in Burgh-Haamstede turned out to be a Liturgy of the Word with Communion. Talking to the presiding layman, however, I learned that it is, for the moment at le...
