New skills - I am now practically fluent in Japanese... When I first saw your choice of pseudonym, TT, I was sure there was some connection to the Chuckle Brothers. On balance it's how I like to think of you, anyway. Anyway, I agree! Very glad the forum is here, and very glad of the people I've mad...

What do the composers among us think? This one thinks that twenty-five quid is handsome enough for a piece of liturgical music! The sad fact is that it doesn't pay as well as journalism. My meagre handful of published pieces have brought in far less on average per item. (I have high hopes for the U...

It is also, as I am reliably informed, perfectly lawful to use in our post-conciliar liturgy It would be interesting and useful to have chapter and verse on that, Nick. Article 61 of GIRM 2000. Praestat psalmum responsorium cantu proferri, saltem ad populi responsum quod attinet. Psalmista proinde,...

Good hymnody has an enduring quality. Here's an excerpt from the musical editor's preface to the 1940 (revised) edition of the Westminster Hymnal. (The musical editor was William Bainbridge.) A certain number of tunes whose merits lie chiefly in their associations have been retained in an Appendix....

Just a thought......I'm interested in what might be possible with this CD-ROM. We used to use something called The Liturgy Disk, a CD-ROM published by Cassell (if memory serves) that allowed the creation of service booklets along something like the lines you mention, CB. It had the complete Sunday ...

Re: Website
...probably derived from that same CD... Yep, those are from the CD. I wrote about the organ a year or so ago for Music and Liturgy. If anyone missed it and would like to see it, I'll be happy to send the text of the article if you let me have your e-mail address. To answer Merseysider's question, ...

The stated emphasis seems to be on the right of the whole body of the faithful to active participation. Great music can be consistent with, and even foster, that right. It would be poor consolation for an ordinary churchgoer to think that their exclusion from active participation was helping to pre...

Re: In quires and places....
(Apologies that this post is on the long side! I've tried to get my thoughts in order, and this is as near as I can get. M.) Maybe the answer is that there's more than one way to do it, and different ways are right for different communities and different occasions. I don't know whether you've ever b...

Re: Requiem Mass or for performance?
Elsewhere in this forum, I think it is noted that the great composers' Masses are, and probably were, unlikely ever to have been used at an actual liturgy Perhaps that's overstating it, though I'm sure VML and Musicus are right in suggesting that the concert hall is a more likely place for your mus...

Re: Vaguely on Topic....
Referring to the Psalm after the first reading, can somebody please bring me up to date - I thought latest docs were strongly advising we move away from paraphrase, and stick strictly to what's written? There's paraphrasing and there's paraphrasing... I imagine what Dot had in mind was finding a fo...

I hope to hear at least some of these. Don't forget the Radio4 listen again facility, which I shall be using. I'm afraid they don't usually include the music from the Daily Service in the archived programmes on the Radio 4 web site. "For contractual reasons" it says somewhere. So catch it live if y...

We do have someone in the congregation who sings very loudly but he has a learning disability, quite a good voice but in his own time... I truly believe God enjoys hearing him sing and it is not for me or anyone else to tell him to stop singing. Couldn't agree more! It's a tussle sometimes whether ...
