Re: Associations and Styles of Music
Forgive me droning on here, but I've been stewing on this for a few months. At the intellectual level I've accepted a role for the Graduale for some time, but it's only recently that I've been able to work out what it might be at the practical level. I was asked to sing in a local (High) Anglican ch...

Re: Easter Vigil
I know that a glissando isn't good grounds for choosing a piece of music at Mass - but I couldn't agree more with you organist. By the by, cracking refrain and super word-painting.

Re: Genuflecting Extraordinary Ministers
Anaphora of Saint Basil - I was unjust to the CDF. It was voted down 16-15 by the Consilium. The presidency of same chose, in light of the closeness of the vote, to defer this to Paul VI who in turn bounced it back to the CDF and the Congregation of Rites. The Congregation of Rites accepted it, the ...

Re: Easter Vigil
Clifton almost always use John Gibbons' setting which I believe is in one of the Psalm Songs volumes - highly recommended, particularly if it is to be accompanied on piano.

Re: Genuflecting Extraordinary Ministers
Straining at gnats? Maybe. Has belief in the real Presence really declined or is it the case that we are more comfortable expressing our disbelief in public than we were pre Vat II? I don't know. I do know that someone in my form some years ago had assumed that she was meant to go to Communion as sh...

Re: Genuflecting Extraordinary Ministers
(And by the way, the whole Eucharistic Prayer is consecratory, so it's difficult to specify that Jesus is present on the altar after the consecration.) Yes...but there is surely a reason for the celebrant/presider genuflecting after each of the elevations - and the ground was sufficiently muddy tha...

Genuflecting Extraordinary Ministers
In the latest edition of Music and Liturgy there's a reference to readers not genuflecting as they approach the sanctuary and it got me thinking. In the older form of Mass it was/is correct to genuflect every time one passes the centre of the altar - irrespective of whether there is a tabernacle - a...

Re: New Mass setting for School
I know I'm late to the party but Year 11 reports have kept me busy. I don't want to offer suggestions so much as to share a strategy. I arrived in a school that had lapsed into 4 hymn sandwich territory and also needed to introduce new material. I decided on a 5 year plan, asking myself what I wante...

Re: Baptism of the Lord
I may have this wrong as I only listened to the first half of Mass, and that in the car en route to Mass...but. Am I not right in thinking that at the offertory a pop song was sung - as in a genuine, in the charts type, pop song? The second reading was cut, one assumes for reasons of time, and yet t...

Re: Some days are diamonds
For reasons that are too tedious to go into our, voluntary, Mass at school for the Immaculate Conception was intended to show our continuity with the sisters who celebrated the closing of the Holy Year for the 100th anniversary of St Bernadette's visions of Our Lady. Usually school Mass requires wee...

Re: Responsorial Psalm
I know you'll think I'm just being provocative but...when the readings at an EF Mass are to be in the vernacular, any authorised translation may be used. Since there are two forms of the one Roman Rite isn't there then a case for arguing that any liturgically approved translation may be used? Mutual...

Re: Not sure about all this 'traditionalism'.
RE probably....just trying to avoid too many assertions ex nihilo. I would have thought that, living in an occupied country, he would have had some knowledge of the language of the occupiers, but that it would be more likely (for social/cultural reasons) that Greek would be used rather than Latin.

Re: Not sure about all this 'traditionalism'.
So many different things to add: Permission for the readings to be in the vernacular existed before Vat II - it just wasn't used. Since this was explicitly restated by B16 it would seem to be his wish that this option be used. I also would like my priest's Latin to be sufficient that he has a good g...
