Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Sunday, April 20, 2008. Pärt’s magnificent Beatitudes setting. I’m not sure how this is legal, but here is a very good recording of Arvo Pärt’s setting of the Beatitudes:. Http:/ www.last.fm/music/Arvo P%C3%A4rt/ /The Beatitudes. I will never understand why someone decided that the gospel reading for All Saints (in the pre-V2 Missal, mind you! Links to this post.

http://cantatedeo.blogspot.com/2008/06/colloquium-2008.html
Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Monday, June 23, 2008. I have thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in my own bed and hugging my children, but I wish I could have left my ears in Chicago. Some of the music that I heard last week was a true foretaste of the heavenly banquet . . . Kudos to all those who worked to make the Colloquium as fabulous as it was. Nearly everything was wonderful. Links to this post.

Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Pes’s plan for preventing popular singing. Title changed from popular participation to reflect better the idea that singing and participation are not necessarily coincidental.). You’d be amazed (or, maybe not) how many people seem not just uninterested in learning to read music, but unwilling. 4 If the cantor is female, pitch the melody to...

Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Friday, July 28, 2006. Une pensée sur le Graduel Romain. Hey, I'm in France (ergo the absence of postings lately) on vacation. So many incredible cathedrals and just random awesome-looking churches. (Ay-ay.what the hork happened? Confound these French keyboards! Posted by Cantor @ 11:19 AM. Links to this post. Thursday, July 20, 2006. Posted by Cantor @ 8:49 AM.

Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Wednesday, May 31, 2006. II Those With a Role in Liturgical Celebrations. Role distinctions in liturgical services. Main distinction between the ordained and the non-ordained who both have their places in the services. Importance of the priest; speaks for all those gathered (and not gathered for that matter) with prayers of the utmost importance. Links to this post.

Cantate Deo: A “great” parish??
http://cantatedeo.blogspot.com/2008/05/great-parish.html
Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Tuesday, May 06, 2008. Http:/ www.stclementofrome.org/. Apparently this parish was judged to be great in some sort of review of parishes across the country. Maybe it’s just my own prejudice, but the front page does not seem to me to depict a church whose sanctuary cares to communicate that anything great happens there! Posted by Cantor @ 9:08 AM.

Cantate Deo: October 2006

Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Pointed me to a new hymnal. From Franciscan University at Steubenville. Anyone seen this thing? I have a knee-jerk reaction to Jim Cowan’s stuff, much of which seems to have about 10 words and half as many chords. Posted by Cantor @ 10:21 AM. Links to this post. Sunday, October 29, 2006. Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto. The stinger...

Collapsing Temporal Plates-A Web of Delusion: Is Romney Being Misunderestimated?
http://onoekeh.blogspot.com/2008/01/is-romney-being-misunderestimated.html
Collapsing Temporal Plates-A Web of Delusion. Life is a confluence of contradictions, not to be resolved, but embraced. Friday, January 25, 2008. Is Romney Being Misunderestimated? I think so. I think he just may have the Republican thing sewn up. Craig Crawford of CQ. Who gives me the hibby. Believes that Romney is no joke. I agree. Romney has shown true national appeal by competing in every primary and make decent. Democrats should fear Mitt Romney more than they think. Laughing him off as a. Chorus of...

Cantate Deo: September 2006

Two Catholic liturgical musicians musing on the state of affairs in contemporary Catholic church music, and/or whatever else comes to mind. Saturday, September 30, 2006. Not at all related to church music (unless you count the Requiem for Messiaen), but these are hilarious P.D.Q. Bach-ish little-known works:. Http:/ search.freefind.com/find.html? My favorite is the Schubert piano concerto where he breaks off the manuscript with My God, this is so boring! Posted by Cantor @ 7:48 PM. Links to this post.
