Hi,

I just found your blog at the new address. I’ve read it on and off over the years at its former location. I try to attend the Extraordinary Form of the Mass at St. Matthew’s as often as I can, and I have two questions:

Is the music posted before the Mass or after?

Are you the leader or organist there? If so, is there anything you need to support the little Schola there?

Hi Joanne,

Please check your inbox - you have a message from me waiting for you. Thanks for writing!

Hi:

I just began an organist position at a parish that is very interested in preserving sacred music most notably gregorian chant (not a complete Latin mass, though). The church is still wedded to singing hymns. I immediately replaced all modern non-liturgical hymns with traditional hymns. I would be very interested in an article on the rubrics of how you prepare for each Sunday Mass. It appears that you chose your organ preludes/postludes based on the propers of that particular Sunday. Does the congregation ever sing any traditional hymns?

Any info on background prep would be most appreciated. Thanks, Ann

Hi Ann:

I’ll be working on this article as per your request - hopefully it will prove useful to you. Thanks for visiting!
