MusicaSacra Forum member “Kevin in Atlanta” shares this anecdote: Occasionally, one finds on this forum a musician who has been dismissed for going too far in the reform for his or her pastor. We remember that many of us serve at the pleasure of the priest who may or may not be in tune with [...]

March 17, 2009 by — 1 comment.
Jeffrey Tucker highlights a major milestone at the Choral Public Domain Library — 10,000 scores and counting. That the site has seen this moment is a testament to the inspired initiative of Rafael Ornes (a one-time student of chant expert William Mahrt).
