Re: EASTER VIGIL
ah, sorry to disappoint...possible confusion here. I didn't mean the plainsong proper..it's a sort of home grown effort. Basically, I don't like the effect of the communion antiphon being said (which is what they did before I started here) so now they chant it, a capella, using a variety of differen...

Re: Easter Alleluia
(even if partly for polemical reasons) Ian, this comment makes me the third contributor to this one thread to take offence at your inability (or unwillingness) to accept that their views are presented with no agenda beyond the enjoyment of a good argument and the increase of their own knowledge and...

Re: Easter Alleluia
No you haven't: unless I've missed something, the only thing you've actually written was this The move from G to A at that point no more militates against a feminine ending than the opening of the ICEL Sanctus requires us to place a stress on the 2nd note - no-one with an ounce of musicianship or ex...

Re: Easter Alleluia
Ian, you're still avoiding the statement that in this specific case G-A-A would be better than G-G-A (in the sense of 'better' I gave previously). In fact, come to think of it, you haven't actually disputed that statement.
So please: do you think G-G-A is better, and if so, on what grounds?

Re: Easter Alleluia
My point, Paul, was precisely that attitudes to the translation seem to be driving musical judgement "Seeming" is in the eye of the beholder and whilst I wouldn't say this has never been true of any of the comments on the music of the new translation, I didn't see anything in FT's comment...

Re: Easter Alleluia
any stick with which to beat the new, improved translation Whether the translation is improved or not is beside the point, which was whether the missal chant setting of it is optimal. Whilst it is undoubtedly true that it is possible to sing this elegantly, I think it's stretching it to say that it...

Re: Hail Mary in Prayer of the Faithful
Well "perhaps" anything, but for obvious reasons it could only apply to people over the age of 50 and more likely 60. Seems to me much more likely that people like it because praying to Mary is something that Catholics do, and I doubt that the liturgical logic-or-otherwise ever really occu...

Re: Exsultet
Thanks Gradually for that, it looks fantastic and is far easier to sing than the Missal version.

Re: Singing the Easter Sequence
Another option is Christ the Lord Is Risen Today to Easter Hymn (nb, not the easily confused Jesus Christ Is Risen Again, in which every alternate line is Alleluia). It's a reasonable paraphrase and the tune is well known. The great thing about the once-a-year brigade is that they don't give you fun...

More importantly, and no further off topic, what should the English plural of cappa magna be?

Re: Preparing for Lent and Easter 2012
Er - if you've got a way of copy / pasting music from the Missal that isn't paste-as-a-picture, I'd be interested, also - maybe one for a new thread.
