The attached setting is taken from the current Latin Ambrosian Missal - which may be useful. As it seems I am unable to post a pdf version - this can be found here http://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Resources/Music/Jubilate/index.shtml

To try and answer the question to the best of my knowledge.

Where an imprimatur is sought it should be from the diocese where the publisher is based. It is not usual for a Bishops' Conference to give an Imprimatur. Therefore there would not have been any collective decision not to give ...

The ICET text for the Lamb of God was approved by the Bishops for use when sung in 1980s - it is referred to in the directory 'Music in the Parish Mass'.
The ICET text is 'Jesus, Lamb of God... Jesus, bearer of our sins... Jesus, redeemer of the world...'

As Presbyter and others will be aware ...

thank you for your thoughtful posting.

Strictly (with my Moderator hat) Core Repertoire Psalms are about everything except the Responsorial Psalms - i.e. what psalms would be suitable at Communion - but you raise some valuable points which I hope other forum members will respond to ...

To be pedantic - the Liturgy does offer a text intended for singing for Phil 2 in the Divine Office Sunday Evening Prayer 1. Whereas the Beatitudes are not given in the liturgy as a text for singing. I would make (and perhaps should have made) the distinction between texts given in the liturgical ...

I would not want people to think there are no grounds for changing the text of say the responsorial psalm but I do think people should know why they are doing it and the decision be based on some principles. Any change needs to be balanced with the risk of reducing the congregation’s familiarity ...

Dear All

I think a little bit of understanding is called for.

People seem to be surprised that someone working for a large publisher which publishes a wide range of books does not understand the relationship between the Grail Psalter, for which they administer (but do not own) the copyright ...

There is a page on the Liturgy Office Website which gives range of dates on which Sundays can occur.

Not that exciting, but sometimes useful!

The Department for Christian Life and Worship is looking for musical settings of texts sung at funerals. This is to provide simple settings for use in parishes and to offer to publishers for inclusion in participation aids. In particular settings are sought for the Responsorial Psalm and the Gospel ...

was it Magnificat, magnificat sing the glory of our Saviour!
Webbe arranged Mayhew and word by Mayhew too.

It first appeared in 'Songs of New Life' and did appear in subsequent Mayhew books and I think as separate piece of sheet Music.

There is a logic to the order of saints.....Men Saints; Women Saints.

Why is that logical? Couldn't they just be alphabetical at this point? Would a female martyr be named only after all the male martyrs?

Perhaps 'structure' would be a better word.

It seems to me that the Graduale Simplex or Simple Gradual is intended to provide seasonal antiphons - in a similar way to the Common Responsorial Psalms - so there is good liturgical precedent for such an idea - even a book that has already done the job.
The first edition was, I think, published ...

One of the thoughts behind the 'core repertoire' project is to consider that hymns are an addition to the liturgy and may be we need to remind ourselves what the actual texts of the liturgy.

Antiphons are some of the main texts for singing in the liturgical books but do they work as they ...

A starter:
What might be worth doing is for composers to turn their mind to the use of these texts in the context of Entrance Antiphon and Communion Antiphon, rather than the Responsorial Psalm, perhaps using a particular phrase as an ostinato for the assembly to sing.
think that's one of the ...

I'm confused (again) - the main point is to establish a repertoire of core music is it not? Thus, wherever we are in the country, if someone has to sing Psalm 117, there will be one, liturgically spot-on tune for it, that everyone knows?

Not at the moment - definitely not one. To recourse to ...
