migrant workers

Do you really only get migrant workers? What about refugees and Asylum Seekers?

wheezing organ

Fred Flinstone built it. I believe it is very old indeed. Certainly looks it. There's something about the way the manuals are encased in rough timber screwed together that is very endearing. It's got some impressive gold painted pipes around the manuals 5 foot tall and 8inches in diameter..... but f...

wheezing

Yes , there was a way of stopping it by puling out the stops before I started or something like that, I can't remember but I have written it down on a post it and stuck to a pipe in case anyone else has the same problem in the middle of a funeral or other service. Maybe it got better because it was ...

Sid I think I know why people don't post. Anyway it's only a thousand people involved there isn't it? Which is not so many interested bods really! So for all you talented and passionate musicians (who help and advise and support) there will be some like me who just accidentally got caught up doing t...

Really? Clapham? I didn't know it was set in Clapham! Could any of you settle an issue for me. Was "Oh Come oh come etc." "Love is His Way" O Bread of Heaven" and "Tell out my soul" a good choice for the second Sunday of Advent. Sung by five, one of them a semi ton...

At the risk of getting flattened by talking about that which I understand little of...... No objections to the odd bit of Latin although I can't pronounce any of it........... but it reminds me that Islam is based on liturgical and hierarchical stuffy........... someone else can explain that more to...

Hey, I didn't say that! You misquoted me! I said I am going to throw away that book about last verses and I'm not at all disheartened by doing it! I've got a much better book by Bernadette Farrell. We had a lovely Mass on Sunday with lots of people singing. Why don't skeletons sing in church? Becaus...

I am getting very very confused. It would seem that I can pick up one of the two hymnals at my disposal and choose anything but no, some of it may not be appropriate and I have some inc ling that some of it is dire anyway. Better to stick to the old stuff then. That's fine by me. Easier to do on the...

No

that Communion Song 3 (Inwood) that is beautiful that is and Now in this Banquet (Haugen) that is lovely too. I doubt that I will get them into Advent but at least I know they are there.

Oh dear Musicus I am going to go off thread as usual. Rob, life was so much easier before I got the Journal! Now I have to make decisions and find things out. Ignorance is bliss! There's such a lot of music out there and I don't have copies of any of it. I just have this sad vision of us all playing...

Noooo No one ever sang Blowing in the Wind or Streets of London at Mass? I think we did sing Lord of the Dance though, and maybe Every Star Shall Sing a Carol. I quite like that actually. It goes a bit daft around the fourth verse or so. Kumbya and He's Got the Whole World in His Hand must surely be...

Actually I don' t think it is easy to name the problems. Here are a few. Different parishes have different problems. Not sure if there is really an issue about trad or mod. in parishes, more about the four hymn sandwich thing really. Perhaps hymns should be banned. I'm up for that. There is some bea...

Yes that is true on the above thread. Sometimes the organist does not get full dots and there is a lot of boring arrangement out there. Sruggle with the first verse. Get the second under control. Get a bit bored with the third. Brain bleeding by the fourth verse. All sounding like a fair ground orga...
