Re: New Mass setting for School
Anyone who uses just one setting for years, whether it's by Inwood or anyone else, deserves everything they get. Thank goodness that Amaris is going to broaden the experience for them. The next-door parish in my diocese is still singing the same Mass music it has been singing since the 1970s - and w...

Re: Baptism of the Lord
Here are the details from the Radio 4 web site: Musical directors: Jo Boyce and Mike Stanley. Find out more about Jo Boyce and Mike Stanley on their website cjmmusic.co.uk I wonder how much input into the music Fr Tim (and the SSG ) might have? Not a lot if Jo and Mike are involved, I fear. Most br...

No, they are a tiny but very vocal minority. And they like to think they have a lot of influence, but in point of fact they have almost none.

Re: Conversion of Saint Paul - Latin motet needed
Thank you for this, Musicus . I had thought it was sufficient to have the correct time set in the control panel (which of course it already was). Now I see, for the first time, that logging in actually changes the time by an hour. How bizarre! I don't know of any other bulletin board that functions ...

Re: Conversion of Saint Paul - Latin motet needed
Strange how the last two posts are appearing in this window at the correct time - i.e. today - whereas on the forum itself they are appearing an hour ahead - i.e. tomorrow. And yes, I did just go to the control panel to check the display was GMT (and it was) and I confirmed it just to be sure. No ch...

Re: Health and Safety
Alas Stephen Bicknell died in August 2007 at the tragically early age of 50. His website is therefore defunct (just to explain why the link above no longer works in case anyone wonders).

Re: Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Try this:
"Praise to you, Lord Jesus, Word__ of__ God;
praise to you, O Lord Most High."

Re: Ding Dong Merrily on high - need pronunciation help
PS: I notice you didn't say why we now have "CONtributed" and "DIStributed" - cumbersome, initial-stressed polysyllables, eh?

Re: Ding Dong Merrily on high - need pronunciation help
More seriously, does what was an error become correct by the simple force of frequent usage? Does this mean I have to abandon my crusade against "CONtribute" and "DIStribute" instead of "conTRIBute and "disTRIBute" just because they are so prevalent on the BBC and...

Re: Teaching the teachers
Words like reverence, sin, obligation, bound to, morality, modesty, even grace, are pretty rare in the modern RE vocabulary. I know many totally committed Catholic teachers, but I know as many nominal Catholics teaching in Catholic schools whose contact with the Church is minimal. I beg to differ. ...

Very interesting: so deity has now changed as a result of spontaneity, etc.

Re: Christmas sequences
The Laetabundus is a beautiful piece of chant, used in some recent German organ music as a cantus firmus. I wonder if they use it over there, Trent or no Trent.

Re: Ding Dong Merrily on high - need pronunciation help
Sorry to prolong this agony, Don't be sorry - it's good fun! what about the A in "O and A and A and O" in the last verse of 'Unto Us is Born a Son'. Is it 'Ay' or 'Ah'? Possibly it depends whether you say Aymen or Ahmen at the end of a prayer - is there anything laid down on this? I've ne...

Re: Ding Dong Merrily on high - need pronunciation help
There is a slight difference there in that "deity" is an English word (albeit derived from Latin) and given only the pronunciation dee-ity in Chambers (and in the rather small school-level Oxford which is all I have to hand), - so "day-ity" is simply wrong I'm afraid this is dow...
