Re: Communion Songs
Back in the 60s, my tenor grandfather would attend 8am Mass to receive Communion and then return to sing at 11.15am. He would have breakfast in the gap – I can still picture him eating behind the (then broadsheet) Catholic Herald!

Re: Communion Songs
Excellent and thorough reply from SC, as usual. One logistical problem, already referred to above, is what happens if there is no cantor or choir to keep the song going during the time of distribution? With the exception of the Cantor, our musicians receive with everyone else and, therefore, help to...

Communion Songs
I have something of a thing about Communion Processionals – if they can be described as “A Thing”. And I’m just fact-checking here. Comments and discussion more than welcome. From what I know about music during the Communion procession: • Psalms in early centuries • Later antiphon and psalm • Somewh...

Re: Easter Vigil lights.
The same rubric was in the 1969 Missale Romanum and people ignored it then People ignoring rubrics? Surely not!!! :lol: the readings have also fairly often been proclaimed in a darkened church, the lights coming on at the Gloria. In my previous place, we didn't have a Gloria at the vigil – instead,...

Re: Easter Sequence
Where is your PP planning to add this item? After Romans 6, the priest (or cantor) intones the first Alleluias of Easter, with verses from Psalm 117 this also forms an extended Gospel procession. Not sure where the sequence could be squeezed in. Sure he's not talking about Easter Day?

Re: " . . Old forgotten far-off things, and battles long ago"
Would love to ask your PP why the virus is a less of a risk during hymns that it would be during the bits we're supposed to be singing!

Re: " . . Old forgotten far-off things, and battles long ago"
I have similar feeling of gloom. Currently working with a group of undergrads. All very lovely, intelligent young people. But they want "solid Victorian Catholic hymns", 17th century polyphony and Gregorian chant. If I mention a Communion Processional, they look at me strangely. And the Go...

Re: Mill Hill Chapel
Know the Liverpool Unitarian church well. I was cantor at the first civil partnership on church premises there – around nine(?) years ago. The minister at the time was formerly a teacher in our parish school.

Be aware, if you use this, that it is known as the "My Little Pony" Mass. To give just one example: https://www.facebook.com/CatholicTalkShow/videos/dan-schuttes-my-little-pony-gloria-the-catholic-talk-show/777730865953473/ Made the mistake of listening. You know that feeling when you can...

Re: New Translation of the Lectionary incoming
I will probably remain something of a psalm refusenik. In the present lectionary, the text of the refrain is rarely long enough to sing and it frequently has no obvious link to the preceding reading, to which is responds. In my (alas, now former) parish, we often sang eight-bar refrains. We develope...

We've just lost our building. But we have no int...
