parish difficulties
Phew Been to church and still alive. Only some of the odd bods were there tonight and they pointedly did not sing. I was shaking when I arrived and saying the prayer above about being brave. The singing was not strong but I could hear the congregation by the end of the Mass. To make it more fun... t...

parish difficulties
Thankyou VML and Dunstan I will pray. I want peace for my part in parish duties and during services. I also need these sopranos! I will pray for the courage to deal constructively with the distress and disturbance which these individuals must be feeling and hope that help will come, even if it is ju...

Parish difficulties
This is a very sad post. We have some parishioners who used to "choose the hymns" and were generally known as the "song group". Last Easter they fell out with the PP over the Easter Triduum Music. He said that he did not want a few people to do all the jobs in the church and that...

Latin
Oo er What a thread! Very scholarly. They wouldn't let me in the Latin class at my school because I was a bit dim. I think it is a beautiful language and glad I do not have to worry much about wether the translation means this or that. It is the official language of the church but I have to wonder i...

Exsultet
Well here we are again. Easter looms and we do not know how to sing the Exsultet. It maybe I cannot even spell it! Is there a place on the web where I can download it onto something (not that I really know how to do this but maybe the kinder can help). Or somewhere to find (preferably free) download...

CFE V. Laudate
I just had to look up hymns for Triduum in HON and CFE to see which was best to use for Easter and I found that there is not an Ubi Caritas in the CFE? That's strange. Anyway it looks like I will have to type up all words as I can't get the music from one book or t'other. Not that I have anything el...

when to begin "Lord Have Mercy"
Hello When should we start the Kyrie? Father asked me to play it after he does the absolution words "May....." which is after we have all said it anyway and it interferes with the start of the Goria so that may be why we always chant the Gloria even if we have the music out and ready. Any ...

examination of conscience for musicians
Oo er When I examine my conscience I find that I will be warm, very warm, eternally. And do you know, that the very thought of eternity spent singing and praising the Lord conjures up such images of spite and vendetta that I am feared of Paradise. How on earth do they choose the hymns in Heaven and ...

Vigil Mass
Greetings of a Christmas Kind Well, in spite of a funeral suddenly blocking the final practice our service went like a bomb. The church was full though not as many as last year I think. We began singing carols from the back of the church. Coerced my own daughters into doing this with their friends -...

carols
You are absolutely right - what was I thinking of? I should just be glad to hear them sing! Which they will for sure. And I shall wear my Santa hat and try to get the temporary Deacon to play the Midnight Mass so I can watch a service from somewhere posh and medieval with a glass of wine in my hand ...

However, I do not know if the arrangement is trad or composed and so should we cont...
