   Forget that last post – that was supposed to be for the first week of Advent!

   Slightly off-topic, and very late:

   I have launched a website (LiturgyShare.org) providing free simple liturgical resources for those interested in traditional style music for the ordinary form Mass including a selection guide for psalms and hymns for Sundays and major feast days. Links are provided to YouTube for my scratchy psalm vocals, piano/organ music for hymns, and singing at other parishes when available. The site targets those with limited resources.

   Psalms have been composed specifically for this project and have been in use in my congregation for several months. There are only eight sets of psalm tones for the verses, making it easier for cantors to concentrate on the lyrics as they become familiar with the melodies. They deliberately have a low range (D to high C), and the responses are metered, but chant-like.

   I have also provided links to some other psalm sources that follow the Australian lectionary, and show how my psalm tones can be used with Amanda McKenna’s responses (from Willow Publications) and can replace the verses in Kate Keefe’s psalm settings (MusicForMass.co.uk) for those who prefer more contemporary sounding responses.

   Hymns are in the traditional style and in the public domain, though I also reference the more important copyrighted (metric) hymns, especially those in MacAuley & Connolly’s “Year of Grace” collection. Yes, you can find all the public domain hymns on many other sites, but the intention is to build a curated collection of hymns specifically suited to Catholic liturgy in the form a digital hymnal. In many cases there are two versions of the hymn: one in traditional language, the other modernised (usually from CWB2 when it’s not copyrighted).

   Although too late for this year, all the Advent material is collated into pdfs on the landing page.

   Going forward, the Christmastide collection is probably two weeks away and going to be too late for those not flying by the seat of their pants, but my focus after that will be Lent rather than the first weeks of Ordinary Time so that at least Sundays before Holy Week are available after Epiphany.

   If you have any interest in this type of music, I would appreciate it you could have a look at the website (even if you, sensibly, have Advent already sorted out!) and return any constructive criticism.
