Would love to hear your choir! At which church in Brooklyn?
I have been charged with the responsibility of developing a chant choir at the indult TLM, Our Lady of Peace in Park Slope. 12:30 PM every Sunday. Rehearsals take place promptly at 11:30 AM before Mass.
I start the 30th - Christ the King. I do not have a "choir" I can call my own yet, so as far as Oct. 30th goes, I will probably be singing the Gregorian propers solo, while Missa de Angelis/Credo III is used for the Ordinary - the congregation knows it well.
The choir goals are ambitious and based on Msgr. Hellriegel's strategy of chant implementation, my own understanding of the chant, and the official liturgical documents.
For starters, some of the objectives are: a rotation of four Mass Ordinaries and three Credos throughout the year; full Gregorian propers, with psalm verses as appropriate; musical and spiritual development.
The Queens indult TLM is at St. John's Cemetery Chapel, Middle Village, 2nd and 4th Sundays at 9:00 AM. Rehearsals will take place promptly at 8:00 AM.
If you know of anyone willing to join either in Brooklyn or Queens, please send them my way. Initial rehearsals will be held before Mass and focus largely on the dialogue responses, Mass Ordinary, Introit and Communion antiphons.
