Introit & Communion Chant
for March 5th

You can get a copy of the Simple English Propers book from Amazon, which seems ot have the best price right now.  (The publisher has it on backorder... Amazon has it in stock) 

It is NOT a requirement to buy this book!  It's just handy to have and might be nicer to hold.  I will print whatever music you need including the propers. 

ENTRANCE: Be Thou My Vision

Here is the full version.  Scroll down for JUST the bass part.  🙂 

Here is just the bass part.   🙂  

Psalm

THINKING AHEAD TO CORPUS CHRISTI

Below is a link to a beautiful Ave Verum that we plan to do along with the womens choir for Corpus Christi.  It would be great if you could spend a little time with this - at the link below, you'll find parts played prominently so you can actually learn your parts entirely from the recordings.  The music is there too, and I handed that out to you at the last rehearsal we had.  I'll have more copies with me if you misplaced yours.  🙂  YOU CAN CHOOSE which part you'd like to sing - Bass or Tenor.  And just spend some time working with the recordings to get comfortable with your parts.

GENERAL INFO & REGISTRATION:

The goal of our Men's Schola is to praise the Lord through music and help preserve the music of the Catholic Church, which is chant. 

We will begin our group by learning to chant the propers (the introit, offertory, and communion chants) and the Mass parts (there are a few settings we can learn). 

We will also explore, as we progress, beautiful Catholic hymnody.  

Ideally, our Men's Schola will sing at Mass once per month. 


We will be rehearsing at 7 pm on the FIRST TUESDAY of every month with additional rehearsals added in if members would like that.  We will also meet prior to any Mass we are singing to run through the music.  

REGISTER NOW!
