Re: Is a Responsorial Canticle still a Responsorial Palm?
so the electric violin....... is this an oxymoronic expression from a contemporary, dynamically equivalent and liberal, modernist translation of Psalm 150 ?? The words "digital" and "organ" I can just about cope with now the meerkat has made its presence among us but "elect...

Re: Is a Responsorial Canticle still a Responsorial Palm?
Lakelark wrote:... psalmoi means, strictly, "songs accompanied on a plucked instrument", or something like that
so the electric violin should be played pizzicato, and the electric piano on a harpsichord setting while accompanying a psalm, but not necessarily for a canticle?

Re: Special ascii characters useful to musicians & liturgists
PS: Forgot to say that the Word thing only works if you already have a Unicode font installed on your machine (in my case, Lucida Sans Unicode). You can't change the font to anything else to see what it looks like, either. Don't know what would happen if you had more than one Unicode font installed...

Re: Special ascii characters useful to musicians & liturgists
In more recent versions of Word, you can get a character by typing its 4-digit Unicode, er, code and then hitting Alt+X immediately after; so in this case I type 2117 and then hit Alt+X. No idea whether it works I have just tried that in Word 2007, and it worked fine for me. some of the other symbo...

Re: Special ascii characters useful to musicians & liturgists
If anyone knows how to get the Performing Right symbol (like the copyright symbol but P in a circle) that you see on CDs, etc, that would be useful. I've had to create it as a graphic image in a word processor in the past. it is unicode code point 2117 ℗ (the link describes several ways to get at i...

Re: Liturgical Top Ten?
I looked at the last twelve months, and found something surprising, namely that there's almost nothing we've sung more than twice in that period. [...] I wonder if that's a cathedral thing? That is, having a choir that can sing anything you want them to, and can support the assembly in anything, me...

Re: Liturgical Top Ten?
Some of this if good. However, why do 'Childrens' groups' always sing 70's music, while avoiding anything old, new, and traditional? (hmmm, maybe this should be split to a different thread - Mr Bear, what do you think?) In this case you have a partial picture - as I don't keep count of what is sung...
