Download Simple Propers for the 30th Sunday of Ordinary Time
The “beta” phase for the Chant Café “Simple Propers” project continues. The layout is a bit different this week than it was before, with the formulaic setting first, followed by psalm verses and with the Meinrad Tone setting placed at the end. The layout seems to be clearer and positions the “Simple Setting” as a possible alternative if the first setting cannot be sung.
We also will now be arranging propers by liturgy irrespective of the calendar year–All options and A, B, and C will be laid out together as it is in the Gregorian Missal, the point of reference for this project.
Thank you to everyone who has offered feedback as this project has developed. If you are using these proper settings in liturgy please do provide feedback during this “beta” stage. By the looks of it we should have a complete resource ready for print many months before Advent 2011!
We are using these simple propers to good effect here in El Dorado, Ark. Is there any way that we can get them early in the week so that they can be incorporated into the worship leaflets? They're just wonderful.
Dear Fr. Gregory–
It is my sincere desire to get ahead a few weeks on posting these settings. I will do my best to make this happen. As I mentioned in the post, we're still in an early "beta" stage with this. The melodies are still taking form in order to be amenable to virtually any English antiphon text. This is taking a lot of work! But I'm confident that soon this will come together nicely and the results will be available both in printed form and online.
For your worship leaflets–would it be useful to you if I posted also graphics files of the antiphons? Are you wanting also to include psalm verses in your leaflets? I can quite easily post online ready-to-go graphics.
Just keep in mind as you use all of this material that it is still in "development", so it's likely that they will change a bit, sometimes drastically, in the future. Your feedback is invaluable, though, so please continue to offer it when you can!
Please feel free to email me if I can help you in any other way.
I just sent you an email, Fr. Gregory (I hope!) Let's take this conversation "offline". My email address is in the sidebar under "among the contributors".
