Re: Offertory hymns
"Angel voices ever singing round Thy throne of light"; now there's a cracker of a hymn for the Prep of the Gifts.

Re: Pentecost sequence.
What you've said is music to my ears Nazard. I agree wholeheartedly.

Beatification
Very reasonable coverage via EWTN of this morning's beatification celebration form Fatima. Commentators yabbering unnecessarily through musical items was relatively minimal (by USA standards that is). There were some lovely choral pieces; at one point the conductor left his rostrum and seemed to beh...

Re: Offertory hymns
Iirc, the tune known as Mozart by some, and Nottingham by others is part of the Kyrie from Mozart's Twelfth Mass.
I'm open to fraternal correction of course.

Re: Pentecost sequence.
There's a useful tune named Prompto Gentes Animo that can be found in the English Hymnal (1933 ed) where it's number 653. This tune fits perfectly. It's a tune that was used - maybe still is - by spikey Anglicans as a Kyrie Eleison. Ah! The tune's been shifted in The New English Hymnal (198* ed) to ...

Re: International Hymn Choices
Ahh, but they're thinking of the Pilgrim fathers at the time. Same words but a totally cultural baggage and implied meaning. Many of the US people singing the hymn would be horrified if they knew where it came from and drop it like a hot potato. So the different tune is kinda appropriate. A good po...

I love St Helen. Go for it B.F., it takes no time at all to teach it to the punters in the pews.

Re: International Hymn Choices
When watching Holy Mass from the EWTN chapel I'm often delighted to find that a dormant hymn has be revitalised by simply changing the tune to another like-metered one. The converse is true too of course, Faith of our Fathers sung to St Catherine doesn't cut the custard in the same way as the tune g...

Re: Prof Eamon Duffy on liturgical music
Oops queried;
I'm sure that participatory music can and should be excellent Oops, but examples are very few and far between.. . . and does it therefore follow that participatory music cannot also be excellent?

When asked about the state of liturgical music in the Roman C...

Re: The theme of this Sunday's Mass is . . .
Indeed. Maybe Alan's"To my mind", and MCB's "Yes, I think this is right", is focusing on the issue. In the absence of quality catechesis it's left for us to freely and broadly interpret. It's an interesting subject and one on which guidance is required. I won't hold my breath. :l...
