[Salvation]

I liked following that with the four settings.

Isn't that fun?

I handle our choir's Email system - every Wednesday after choir practice I mail out YouTube videos of Sunday's selections. I try to find the ones with the score - it's such a help.

I also write the music column for our church website. I am a reactionary while the rector likes the happy-clappy stuff, so I'm kind of a stealth musician . . .

The Episcopal Hymnal 1982 has a setting of John Mason Neale's translation of "Vexilla Regis" set to the plainchant, with harmonization by David Hurd (a quite good modern composer).

The Royal Banners Forward Go. Stand by, there's some organ noodling before they get down to business.

Richard Proulx, the late music director of the Catholic cathedral in Chicago, edited the Episcopal hymnal. They are undoubtedly a bunch of heretics (having gone over the line from being merely schismatic) but they have excellent musical taste.

Wish I could say the same for most American Catholics. The level of music competence/appreciation/ability in most parishes is appallingly low.
