Yes we cantor but....
Reading that little lot makes a moderately confident cantor feel thoroughly inadequate. When we first started singing the psalm years ago, there was a rota of about seven cantors at any one time and we have one excellent singer who has never sung on her own, yet is the most reliable voice and freque...

Planning
Thanks for the feedback We do each Mass setting 2 weeks at a time if its an 'old' one and for a season when it's newish. But the other planners do their own thing so far. To be fair, I have been MD on and off for 17 years, with three separate years out when other people have come into the parish wit...

This discussion is very useful. I hope you find an amicable solution. We are having to face interesting changes in our parish. A model for a PCC we were given a year or so ago suggested that anyone who wished to serve on the Council dropped other ministries for the duration. Very fine in theory, (or...

Brompton Oratory, or Farm Street... don't stand as a sign of what is normative, in the way the cathedral does. Brompton Oratory may not be a typical parish church, but it may well be perceived as such by people who know almost nothing else about the Catholic Church: It has for some years been pictu...

Don't you believe it M. The down side (!) of prep for Christmas was that we had all put so much into the jubilee, and the 4 or 5 regulars who usually practise had varying very good reasons, e.g. a family wedding (1) collapse with a heart condition after taking Communion to 9 housebound before standi...

Training musicians: Grabbing 'em young
I feel slightly out of my depth here, with all you amazingly qualified cathedral MDs etc. But in our smallish suburban/ village parish, we have one music Mass each Sunday, and I have been encouraging some of the musical children, ages approx. 8 - 15, to have a go with whatever they feel able to play...

Music for the order of Christian Funerals....
I would like to have a go at this, and I imagine there is an expectation somewhere that this music will actually be used in 'ordinary parishes.' I wonder when is the right time to introduce the sung parts of a funeral Mass into the parish system. That's a clumsy way of putting it, but even tho' we h...

Mayhew Magnificat
Thanks, Martin.
Yes that is the one, but I can't remember the rest of the words he made fit the tune, and I remember thinking then how 'interesting'... it was that someone could copyright such a tune because they have paraphrased the words.

Our parish bought CH in 1992, as we moved into a brand new building with a big debt, so we had a set of books where the melody edition was quite quickly out of print because CFE came out soon after (and was bought by the parish school.) We coped with the music books we had, (those in three small sep...
