Nick,
My abject confession related to the recorded version (which kind of brings us back to Pius X). I have never been enthused by a live rendering - though, to be fair, I've gone out of my way to avoid it and its kind for many years.

Re: Associations and Styles of Music
** Sigh **
I remember when 'Colours of Day' was new and exciting. I even bought the 45.

Re: Associations and Styles of Music
Nick,
To be strictly accurate, I should have said after Mass.

Re: Associations and Styles of Music
Stop Press: Imagine the struggle you have in a parish which is dictated to by a few people who want to sing "Colours of day" to get agreement to sing the propers, I couldn't work out which emoticon to use when I suggested it, so thought I'd let people go figure . I recognise the problem, ...

Re: Associations and Styles of Music
I suppose it's mainly a problem for matches and dispatches, at which pastoral considerations may require us to grin 'n' bear it. At other masses, good or bad hymns needn't be an issue, because as liturgically informed Catholics we know we have the Propers and Marian hymns to sing instead.

How furtunate for us that chant and polyphony aren't often used in advertisements or as drinking songs

Bach wrote for a liturgy that must have gone on for hours

Re: Summer School 2009
As to the formation thing: Spode has a small number of bursaries for young musicians. It's a bad time to suggest fund-raising, and interest rates aren't at all helpful, but SoSG might like to consider this for its own week.

Re: Summer School 2009
Organist, You may find Spode Music week of some interest: m It's a Catholic music week that gives due attention to chant and polyphony without being 'backward-looking' - a brief consultation of memory tells me that liturgical course works, for example, have included Victoria, Lassus, Palastrina, Str...

Re: Vespers
quaeritor, One of the compensations of the bug that's had me indoors the last few days has been an opportunity to listen to the 3rd program. I, too, was pleased to hear the broadcast of Vespers from The Mersey Funnel. The fine foundation laid by the Duffy brothers is being upheld by their successor....
