Re: How to sing a quilisma
In the last line of "Ave Maris Stella" it often sounds like a triplet - it works quite well there. I learned my plainsong from Fr Des Coffey who had studied with Dom Guer - thingy at Solesmes. He always had us double the length of the preceding note.

Re: Celtic
I have to say that I have never been to Lourdes, but I have heard it sung in parishes all over France, and always pretty much as we sing it.

Re: Celtic
The Alleluia is commonly sung in France too. The only time I saw the notation in a hymn book it wasn't ascribed to either Mr Walker or Mr O'Carrol, but sadly I cannot for the life of me remember the (French) name that was used.

Re: Tradition - Traditionalism
I am one who has criticised the performance of chant in the past, and have quibbled about what actually counts as chant. Belting out De Angelis and Credo 3 - which is about as good as the "chant" repertoire got in most parishes is hardly laudable. Who would want to return to that? Do they ...

Re: Tradition - Traditionalism
I like New Donatism. I seem to remember being told by a church historian that the major heresies were the result of people not moving with the church and feeling that it had taken a wrong turn. Clinging on to the wrong kind of tradition, maybe. Anyway I have yet to meet anyone who, like me, remember...

Re: In search of good communion antiphons
If the people don't join in an antiphon, what then is its liturgical function?

Maybe you do.
I think she might have VIEWS on that!

Re: Sign of Peace
Sorry, but when I am at Mass with Mrs Alan29, shaking hands seems a wildly inappropriate gesture.

Re: New Mass text and music
Looks like the USA bishops have released the new translation of the missal into pidgin.

One of our local Anglican churches marked the Assumption with solemn exposition and benediction.

Re: Introducing settings of new translations
(ii) My parish doesn't currently sing settings in Welsh but could learn some. Am I right in thinking the Welsh Missal is translated from the English rather than from the Latin? My understanding is that the English language missal is used as the basis for transltion into quite a lot of other languag...

Re: Passive non-participation
.......... non-inclusive language.............Is there a danger here that we could leave people remote (or removed) from the Word of God? I humbly suggest that some inclusive language versions of the Scriptures are pretty remote and indeed removed from the Word of God. The New JB is, in my opinion,...

Re: plainchant mass, etc.
Why De Angelis, though? It isn't exactly the best thing in the repertoire (it is so late as to be almost Baroque,) nor the easiest to learn.
