Re: off topic, but responding to SOP
..while we were all singing that with a single voice, members of each parish were thinking of quite different people... at one of the Baptist churches, I opened the hymn book to have a look at it. I was surprised to see that Faith of our Fathers was there.. Maybe we could all agree that it refers t...

Re: Music for teenage choir
I'm talking ordinary inner-city lads at an ordinary inner-city comp – that natural boy baritone sound and mostly used to singing rock and pop in school. They need to be enthused by what they sing. So I won't be throwing Elgar's Ave Verum at them just yet. Very wise. Sounds as though it would be f...

not sure how much scope there is for enacting - can't remember very much of it and have just failed to find it on Google, but it's more a travel brochure than an aerobics soundtrack, (though there is that line about "pilgrims lips that kiss the ground"). have to confess I liked the tune though - wou...

There is a difference between theft (photocopying rather than purshace of music) and arrangement of a piece so that it can be used. I think the comparison I was drawing - and what Dot was talking about too - was the situation in which the arrangement of the piece is done for reasons of personal tas...

Just a minim
Your challenge is to sing the Litany of the Saints without hesitation, repetition or deviation

If these late arrivals don't hurry up, we'll have moved on to play the next round - Morning Prayer Crescent! Is that standard Roman Office rules then or is Cranmer's variant allowed? Please inform all playing if you are using Septuagint or Hebrew numbering. Never mind Cranmer's Variant - that whole...

Gosh! How on earth would/could this be policed? Guess the point is it can't be - which puts the onus on us as honest folk to only 'interpret' music in a way of which we can be honestly confident the composer would approve. The difference between poetry or abstract art, and theatre or music is that ...

Legally, yes composers can. Copyright (in both words and music) covers performance as well as reproduction, and I once read that even improvised "last verse in unison" reharmonisations are technically illegal if the melody is still in copyright. (The logic of this is that, since the audience will be...

I don´t want to start some sterile debate about Ch.Eve - which I wasn´t seriously suggesting introducing - but I would like to put a different argument to Gwyn´s...(which for convenience I´ve copied complete, as it´s on another thread) You only have to look at Evensong in the vast majority of a...

I'd have to vote for putting Choral Evensong on that menu..

Or the question - how long do we expect a Mass part to last - say with annual seasonal use? When were De Angelis et al written? Maybe we just have a very short attention span these days? Or maybe there's a parallel with the well known phenomenon in hymnody - in all music I suppose - that 99% of wha...
