MarysLittleFlower Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 If you like polyphony there is a solid chance you are hearing hymns rather than the Propers. Often, anyway. Learning Propers in polyphony settings takes an enormous amount of effort. Even the Ordinary is difficult enough. our church choir does the Proper and then the polyphony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 our church choir does the Proper and then the polyphony Perfect! Just like I said. ^_^ We do that too. Mostly the men do the Propers, then everyone does the Ordinary and the hymns, which often include polyphony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarysLittleFlower Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Same here the men sing the propers and the general choir sings everything else. What type of parish do you attend - diocesan or something like FSSP? I'm guessing its EF based on the fact that they have Communion Propers? I'm not sure if OF Masses do that ever. I've only heard hymns. Are propers not done in the OF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarysLittleFlower Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I didn't know that! I go to FSSP also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I didn't know that! I go to FSSP also I started attending more or less exclusively around 2010. As soon as I had regular access to a vehicle. These days I go to the Novus Ordo maybe five or six times a year, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of at least five parishes (where I've been present) on two continents that do, and that's before at least one religious congregation.

I've only heard hymns. Are propers not done in the OF? The parishes around here all recently started saying the Communion propers. The priest says them before distributing. They're not chanted, though. Oh, and they're all NO. I started attending more or less exclusively around 2010. As soon as I had regular access to a vehicle. These days I go to the Novus Ordo maybe five or six times a year, if that. Why not me, Lord?! Why not me?!

Gabriela Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Move to Calgary, Gabriela. You will love our group of young people too. Right. I'll just find me a job there tomorrow and come right up. (It would be nice to not have to lock my doors. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Right. I'll just find me a job there tomorrow and come right up. (It would be nice to not have to lock my doors. ) Eh. Do still lock the doors. Calgary is a big city with its share of crime. More jobs than Murica though. Ask @truthfinder how great it is here.

AveMariaPurissima Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I looked at the article quickly and I'm finding it quite fascinating -- I look forward to reading it more in depth at some point. Oh, and at my predominantly NO parish, we usually have a cantor chant the Communion antiphon (including the verses!), then the organist plays an instrumental while the congregation receives Communion. Sometimes the choir will sing a hymn, or we'll do a congregational hymn toward the end of Communion (once nearly everyone has received.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Do they hire laypeople to teach preaching in seminaries up there? Cuz they fired 'em all down here. No idea, actually. I know more about the Fraternity seminary than I do about the more local one. @CatherineM might know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Do they hire laypeople to teach preaching in seminaries up there? Cuz they fired 'em all down here. Oh it's a lovely place I don't think there's a seminary at all in Calgary, just the one in Edmonton, which Nihil has rightly said to consult CatherineM. There is, however, a Catholic university that does hire lay people. Oh, and the door-locking thing is a myth. I wouldn't in a thousand years leave my door unlocked; I've even returned home to check them. I'm sure I could leave my doors unlocked, but why chance it. (Unless of course you find yourself in Churchill, where people are supposed to keep their car doors unlocked in case they need to quickly hide from polar bears).
