I Tried to Hide


Request for Help


My husband and I will be on our parish's newly formed Liturgical Committee. I have a pretty good grasp of the GIRM and related documents. Here's where we need the help. Since we are certain the issue of music will come up, it would be nice to have some liturgical music experts volunteer to be available for any questions we may have. In most cases it will be no more then to steer us to the correct documents or provide us with simple song lists for beginning chant, etc.

Even though my husband is a musician, we know that liturgical music is it's own category. Now I know there are musicians out there with strong, indeed brilliant, liturgical experience. I also know that you come and visit occasionally. Please, don't make me email you and beg. I hate to beg. View this as a wonderful way to stick it to some very misled church musicians and not have to experience any of the unpleasant blowback.

Any other liturgical help, whether expert or semi-expert, would also be appreciated. It would be nice to know there were a few other folks onboard to support us as we swim the deep waters of liturgy. Let me know in the com-box or, if you prefer to remain anonymous, my email is adrienne@icehouse.net.
