Christmas Day Dawn Mass

Are there any commercially available settings of the proper Responsorial Psalm for the Dawn Mass, or does anyone have a setting that they would be prepared to share? I used this m last year, but it didn't go down very well...... Incidentally, can anyone tell me how one convetrts a URL into the word ...

Re: Lateran Basilica

Has anyone looked at the Psalm for All Saints in the Responsorial Psalter? The tone seems to be completely alien to the response. One is in E flat and the other in A minor. Very puzzling and far worse than the Psalm for the Lateran Basilica. I shall have to compose one of my own. I've just been fig...

Re: Lateran Basilica

Do look at Philip Jakob's setting. IMHO it works.

Re: Lateran Basilica

Mayhew's "Responsorial Psalms" compiled by Colin Mawby, shortens the reponse.

There is also (not in the book I mentioned though) a rather nice setting by Philip Jakob, that I think may be available from Decani - or ask Philip yourself (he may be too modest to plug it here himself! :roll: )

Re: Vespers

So what makes it "Anglican" chant? - written by Anglicans? (some research needed there!) - sounding "Anglican"? (does that mean sung in those decadent "parts" and more-or-less together?). Could we be forgiven for thinking "sounding Anglican" means sounding as...

Re: trying to make sense of GIRM

Er, so why can we sing "When we eat this bread and drink this cup........." after the consecration. OK then, you're right, it is odd. Who ever managed to drink a cup? But I do take Southern Comfort's point about the Eucharistic Prayer, although I would argue that the "Invocation of T...

Re: trying to make sense of GIRM

All I meant was, we have a recurrent theme in this forum that any song mentioning the word 'Bread' should not be used at Communion, on the grounds that the consecration has now taken place. Er, so why can we sing "When we eat this bread and drink this cup........." after the consecration.

Re: Weddings in Ireland

My daughter was bridesmaid at a school friend's wedding in Ireland recently and we watched a webcast of the ceremony; they too had Eagle's Wings as the psalm, said Gloria, Sanctus and Memorial Acclamation and Agnus Dei. The one hymn was "Lord of all hopefulness" sung, like Eagles Wings, al...

Re: Carol Services

As far as I am aware, a gospel reading may be read by a lay person when it is not in the context of a mass (when only the presiding priest may proclaim it) Not quite. Every week, in parishes all over the world, the Gospel is proclaimed by someone other than a priest or deacon - in a Liturgy of the ...

Carol Services

Our parish has a Carol Service at the end of Advent, with a Nativity Play. In the traditional "Anglican" lessons-and-carols format, thee are several readings from the Gospels, with usually only the last (John 1) being read by a priest. What are the rules in the RC church regarding lay-peop...

Re: Pipes versus digital

For what it's worth, Copeman Hart, being at the top end of the digital market price-wise, might be thought to have the best "system" but I have it on good authority that they have approached Viscount with a view to using their (Viscount's) latest system - and it really is good, believe me!
