Are you a composer?

The Verdelot “Agnus Dei” gets better and better the more we explore its treasures.

“The labourer is worthy of his hire.” (I Tim 5:18)

What could be simpler or more fun than this?

“Such moments had been a part of his spiritual life since boyhood and through his priesthood.”

Once we finish revising the scores at Goupil, this will be unnecessary.

“I did my best to give utterance to all those black notes in the missal.” —Fulton J. Sheen

The recessional is bright, happy, and beautiful.

“We strongly resent the implication that we and our children are not sufficiently intelligent to understand the simple Latin of the Mass…” —Manifesto of the Catholic Laity (1943)

“Women forced to sell their bodies in desperation and fear” —From a 2013 GIA hymnal

Can anyone shed light on this?
Amazing! Verdelot’s cadence here sounds quite modern!

The organist will play softly at the Offertory.

How could closing down all the schools be a good plan?
