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...

Re: Realising Bishop Alan's hope
Note in particular how with Mass Ordinary settings ICEL is prohibited from granting copyright permissions if the setting has not been 'approved' by the Bishops Conference music panel. My presumption (I hope flawed) is that this system is being steadily expanded to encompass more texts, including Pr...

Re: Realising Bishop Alan's hope
The Offertory Procession texts (at first viewing) seem to present something of a challenge. I don't think you should feel under any compulsion to use all of a given text from the Missal or Graduale Romanum. In composing some trial chant settings, I discovered that, in many cases, the first phrase o...

Re: Worldwide Eucharistic Adoration ???
We normally have a Holy Hour at 5.15 pm on the first Sunday of the month - we have an Evening Mass at 6.30 pm for which many of the regular Holy Hour attendees stay. So we decided to forget about synchronicity and keep to our 5.15 time. Our normal 20 congregation swelled to 40 or so. We used the two...

Pope Francis' installation in his cathedral
Pope Francis is being installed in his cathedral church of St John Lateran this (Low) Sunday. Here is the liturgy booklet: http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/libretti/2013/20130407-libretto-cathedra-romana.pdf . As you will see, it is all in Italian apart from the music, which is mostly cha...

Re: Tenebrae
Note how this tone has two reciting notes, the second a fifth above the first. Do I misunderstand? - do you mean singing in parallel 5ths, John? - how is that shown in the notation? Q No I don't! But if the reverberation of the building has 'taken on' the lower pitch, the sudden leap to the higher ...

Re: Tenebrae
I remember Tenebrae at Buckfast Abbey in the early 1950s - and very beautiful it was. The account in Wikipedia is accurate: the monks had great fun making the strepitus with their books on the wood of the choir stalls. As a variant to the chant tones given in the Ordo Hebdomadae Sanctae , there was ...
