Society of Saint Gregory

I do mean the full thing, except we rarely sing the Gloria. We do sing the Kyrie and all the other parts mentioned. I think we are using the Gathering Mass at the moment, though the copy have I have is missing a cover or any other information other than Mr Inwood's name. At the moment we sing the ...

There two masses a term plus Saints Days for each house. So about 3 or 4 a term on average. Only one new setting required really.

Six hundred unison voices in fact.

Sorry, yes, voices and piano. Optional choir parts for a special occasion. No other instrumentation probably.

I need to put forward some new musical settings of the Mass for our 11-18 girls school to sing as a community. They have been using the same Inwood setting for years (before my arrival) and it's time to ring the changes. What can people suggest that is interesting, singable and will appeal to our ...

The music is terrible (no composer is attributed!) and it seems to consist of a simple tune for the main (Latin) text of the hymn with the words immaculata and ora pro nobis sung in answer. I will have to check with some of the ...

Thank you for your efforts so far. It seems to have been a hymn sung only in Advent or possibly Christmas, but not for the last thirty years! The School is part of the Sacred Heart tradition if that is a clue. Unfortunately we have no Priest in Residence at the moment, so that source of information ...

In need of help. I am involved in a visit of the "old girls" to my school and have been asked by them if we can sing the Immaculata at their Christmas Carol event. I'm struggling to find out what they mean. They sang something to me, but there were few words remembered and the tune sounded very rum ...
