Corpus Christi Watershed

Pope Saint Paul VI (3 April 1969): “Although the text of the Roman Gradual—at least that which concerns the singing—has not been changed, the Entrance antiphons and Communions antiphons have been revised for Masses without singing.”

GABC Propers Tool Revisited

·

APPY CHRISTMAS! At this time of year any shortcuts can be welcome – especially here in the Southern Hemisphere where the summer heat adds to the tiredness.

Recently I had the opportunity to revisit Benjamin Bloomfield’s GABC Propers Tool. I’ve made a short screencast to show how you can prepare the propers and ordinaries interleaved ready for singers who may not be adept at finding their place in the regular books. Even with some explanation it still comes in at under 4 minutes.

This way is very quick and easy, though it doesn’t give you the translations like the Goupil Gradual does.

I hope you have a Happy New Year!

NB: PLENARY INDULGENCES for reciting the Te Deum on New Year’s Eve and the Veni Creator for New Year’s Day.
