1+ y ago3:00

3:00

It was St Philomena's feast day 12 August. Someone requested me to sing a hymn to St Philomena in Latin.

Day 94 of #100daysofchant So close to finishing! For anyone new, I have been working on a course teaching people how to Sing the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Latin since 2020.

Ubi Caritas est vera (with one slip into "et amor") Gregorian Chant 2:45

2y ago2:45

2:45

Day 87 of #100daysofchant I went with the "est vera" version thinking that it would be the better version as the new books were using it - like the way some of the Pre-Urbanite versions of hymns were being revived. Unfortunately, this isn't the way most of the groups I sing with sing it. "Ubi caritas et amor" is pretty entrenched. If I ever get aro…

Stabat Mater - the easy hymn version - Our Lady of Sorrows by the Cross 4:22

2y ago4:22

4:22

Day 86 of #100daysofchant This one's a classic hymn to accompany the Stations of the Cross. The Latin is so brief and concise and beautiful.

Day 83 of #100daysofchant Everyone should know this one. I keep assuming everyone does, and that's probably why I haven't recorded it already. This is one I loved reading in our parish hymnbook during Mass way back in the 80s, in the Gerard Manley Hopkins translation without the Pelican verse. I would spend Mass memorizing it, even though I'm not s…
