100 pieces of Gregorian chant to carry around in your pocket, with English translations.

A short 20th century motet by Fr Tom Luby, MSC with practice audio recordings.

It’s almost 5 years since the new translation came out, but some EF musicians still haven’t caught up. Here are some pointers for the musician who has been hiding under a musical rock for a decade.

Heads and shoulders, knees and toes, in Latin with square note notation, to the tune well known in Australia.

The hymn most frequently appearing in the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary has finally made it to youtube!

Where free choice can lead to chaos or paralysis.

Starting a collection of easier propers for the Extraordinary Form. A pair of Alleluias and two Offertory antiphons to start the ball rolling.

Encouraging solemnity in a public space in Australia is no mean feat, but there are well known traditions which give the framework which elevates the simple, heartfelt speeches into a moving tribute to our fallen service men and women.

We have the treasury of sacred music to steer us. We have computers to help adapt scores to suit our choirs. And now we have an excellent resource which provides ready made adaptations of the Propers.

Singing for the Sacred Triduum and Easter ceremonies is an awesome privilege. Coming out the other side can be very sweet indeed, even when things didn’t always go quite as planned.

Two part choir exercises – one for every day of the year plus a few dozen to spare.

Five books providing our treasured Latin hymns with English translations to help you sing with understanding.

Is sight-singing only for elite choirs? Do you need fancy resources?
