In music liturgy news this week:
As One Voice have got their music liturgy planning page up and running. It ‘s only a few weeks ahead so those of us who’ve already selected songs to the end of the month miss out, but I’m hoping that it will be very useful in the future, since As One Voice form the bedrock of our music selections. The Diocese of Wollongong also has suggestions here.
Spirit and Song have consolidated their collections into a hymnal with selections from Vol 1 & 2 plus more recent compositions. It is reviewed at Pray Tell. Some of the comments mention the need to have OCP, WLP and GIA products to cover all the material a parish might need. To a certain extent AOV do that for us in Australia. (No I don’t work for As One Voice, nor is this paid advertising.)
Also in Pray Tell there is an interesting article on the Asian Institute of Liturgy and Music. Their site has Psalm settings and other liturgical music and some of it is in English.
Not really news, but if anyone’s parish or school subscribes to Liturgy News, I have an article in the June 2014 edition. Unfortunately, and somewhat infuriatingly, in the current era, it is not available on-line.
That’s all the news for now.
Yes, I read your article in Liturgy News.
