Society of Saint Gregory

This 'prioritising funding' diversion has now moved too far away from the topic and almost become an argument in itself. I think all 'angles' on this have had a decent airing and we should go back to the core question - the arguments for or against whether the [pipe] organ is, or should be held in h...

No need to apologise SC - I was just trying to correct what I suspect was my colleague's misinterpretation. Thanks for the update - looking forward to seeing your answer.

I suspect that JustMary was actually seeking Southern Comfort's answer to the question of whether the writer was Fr Edward Caswall or Dom Fabian Duggan. I would also be interested in this as my research led me away from Fr Caswall being the author.

The topic here is a request for a front-row kneeler - not the rights and wrongs of whether or not to kneel. IMHO if people want to kneel (and I am a 'kneeler'), they should, if possible, be provided with the facilities to enable them to do so - so if anyone can help out here, please do so by sending...

This has now gone too far - we seem to have moved on from considering Mgr Wadsworth's article to attacking members of Music and Liturgy's editorial team. If readers have comments on the content of M&L feel free to make them, but on another thread or via emails.

It was fun while it lasted............but I'm calling time! Back to the topic please.

He's not ..........but I might be!

That having be...

You are being rude and I have edited the most offensive parts of your last two postings. You are now off topic and further postings in this vein are liable to be deleted - not just edited.

I am sure that I heard that the choir of at least one of 'our' cathedrals uses the English Hymnal for singing hymns in parts. Now, back to the topic....

Ok - now let's get back to the Processional please.

Yes, let's do so - or I will start editing what has been a very interesting thread.

I am locking this topic because we have all drifted off topic, no-one has contributed anything on topic since way back on the thread and the topic appears to have run its course.

Whilst I wouldn't say that the processes are 'off the rails', there are clearly issues. I understand that some of the 'discrete engagement' to which you refer is taking place. I would suggest that we leave it at that for a week or two and see what happens. Your points have been clearly made (and it ...

I have edited one or two postings on this thread because they go too far towards identifying persons/publishers. We need to keep an even hand between all composers/distributors/publishers, so please try not to make identification easier than it might otherwise be in this context.
