Deus, Deus meus

Psalm 21(22):2–9, 18, 19, 22, 24, 32[1] My God, my God, look upon me, why have you forsaken me? My words of sin have drawn me far from salvation. O my God, I call by day and you give no reply; I call by night and not without reason. Yet, you dwell in the sanctuary; [...]

Two English-Latin sung Tenebrae resources

March 30, 2009 by Aristotle A. Esguerra2 comments.

In the Roman Rite, Tenebrae — the “Office of Darkness” — combines Matins and Lauds of the Divine Office on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.[1]  While some parishes hold these liturgies, they are a distinct minority.  (I myself have never assisted at Tenebrae; I didn’t know such a thing existed until one of [...]

Reminder: omit the Gloria Patri during Passiontide

March 26, 2009 by Aristotle A. Esguerra1 comment.

Organ music for Laetare Sunday

March 17, 2009 by Michael E. Lawrence1 comment.

I rather like the absence of organ during Lent, but sometimes I wish I could do this or that piece at a particular moment.  (I know the organ is allowed for sustained singing; let’s not waste the combox straining at those kinds of gnats.)

The score for Crucem tuam a 4 has been updated; the primary difference is in the time signature, which has been changed to a more manageable 4/4; originally it was 4/2 for reasons that escape me at the moment.  Please see this page for more details, and to download the score in PDF, Lilypond, Postscript [...]
