Re: BJHN conference speech

Now here's a question from his discursive natter : Arrange these words into a well-known phrase or saying: nail have on you the head the hit Cullen - who admits he's not used to public delivery such as this - reads to me as if the whole has been rather hastily prepared and not too well thought out.

Re: BJHN conference speech

"if you don't do it this way you are flirting with heresy"? JW - there are some nutters around who would even condemn Jesus for heresy for calling himself "bread"'. (John 6) The Lucan phrase "breaking of bread" would receive similar opprobrium - there just ain't no Tra...

Re: BJHN conference speech

Cullen is a highly respected and excellent musician. There's some good material in this talk with which many of us would agree. However, I think the somewhat polemical - if not pugnacious - style in places let's him down and also damages the reputation of the still fledgling BJHNI. If Cullen's brief...

And if he's having a go at "Eagle's Wings" - that's another Psalm setting - Psalm 90 (91)

Re: BJHN conference speech

I fail to see why Mr Cullen thinks Proverbs 9:5 is heretical (Fill my house.....). After all, this is the Word of the Lord and it does prefigure the Eucharist.

Re: BJHN conference speech

Try this setting ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tmt5-li5hI Too repetitive? Lacking in musical development? Saved from tedium by the key change? But even if not particularly to my taste (and, I should think, Mr Cullen's) you cannot deny this is pastoral music enabling the assembly in its rightful ...

Re: BJHN conference speech

He doesn't seem to realise that the new editions of Laudate and Celebration require an Imprimatur. He's also, in my opinion, not on a very firm footing in his history of the introduction of vernacular hymnody at Mass - the hymn sandwich. (See Musicae Sacrae On Sacred Music - Pope Pius XII - 1955 - n...

Re: Preparing the Liturgy

O blow! I thought we'd fixed that. It should say O Sacrum Convivium ........ OK but lest I am missing something, I can't see anything specifically "Christmas Day" about that text. Luscious setting though, if you don't know it - here it is with score: http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&...
