The entire staff at Liturgical Press and The Collegeville Composers Group (Carol Browning, Catherine Christmas, Cyprian Consiglio, Paul Ford, and Paul Inwood) send readers of Pray Tell greetings and blessings of Easter with an Easter Gospel Acclamation (mp3) and a setting of the
Easter Sequence (mp3) from The Psallite Mass: At the Table of the Lord.
Beautiful – well done. Thanks for this Easter gift, Paul and Paul. (Mr. Inwood – see you next Monday nite)
Thank you, Paul! This is wonderful, but I wasn’t expecting any less! I love the sequence with the congregational response!
THANK YOU FOR THIS EASTER BLESSING!
If this will prevent Victimae Paschali from being sung, it is a blessing indeed. I heard it yesterday, and it made me so sad that some members of the hierarchy still try to prevent the assembly from being able to raise their own holy voices in this acclamation. How refreshing to have a new version in English for today’s church, with a refrain!
Huh? The assembly is perfectly capable of raising their own holy voices to sing Victimae Paschali.
We do not have to do everything of which we are capable.
De gustibus non disputandum.
Why would you want to deny some of your sisters and brothers the joy of singing such a beautiful hymn as Victimae Paschali laudes?
Why would you want to deny them the freedom to choose to sing it or not?
Never said that I did, Gerard.
Sandi is the one that wanted to prevent something from being sung.
