I teach at an international boarding school.  Our students come from over 43 different countries and only 5% of my students call English their first language.  Many of our students come only for the one year experience of being in an American school.  Partly becasue of this, I have only a 5% to 10% retention […]

Richard Proulx passed away last night (Thursday, Feb 18) in Chicago after being hospitalized on Monday. His tremendous influence on church music in general, and on Catholic music in particular, has been far-reaching and exemplary. His friendship beginning in the early ’60s was probably the single most important influence on my  professional development, as I […]

I want to purchase one copy of Anthems for Men’s Voices 2.  It is currently out of print.  Does anyone have a single copy that they are willing to sell?

Does anyone know how you would go about finding and or renting a portative organ?  We used a very nice one in a performance in Notre Dame and would prefer to use one in an upcoming performance of Mozart Vespers instead of a harpsichord.  We are in Lexington, KY any assistance or suggestions would be […]

Hello: Does anyone know if the Carmen Dragon arr. exists for SATB & organ or piano?  Everyone, it seems, has sung this with either band or orchestra…but, if either piano or organ accomps available I  would like to use it in church on July 4th(a Sunday) this year! Thanks… Tom 

Looking for the sheet music of this Christmas song.   I’ve heard it sung – I think in an arrangement by Gustav Nordquist – but all sheet music I’ve found is in English translation.  I want the original words and music, please.  Here’s hoping.   roly brown, oradour sur vayres, 87150 france

I’m totally open to suggestion – any style, instrumentation, karaoke, etc.  The youth will be leading service that day and it would be nice to have processional music that they could really “get into”. Thanks in advance for your help!

What is the best way to search choralnet when you have a broad enquiry?   I’m looking for some unusual ideas in warm ups but when I entered “warm ups”  into the search I got 581 responses.    Clicking on “compilations”  helped somewhat but it’s heavy going.     Are there any short cuts to finding posts which […]

Does anyone know if Maria Guinand is presenting the Golijev San Marco Passion in the US anywhere other than Disney Hall in LA in late April? I’d love to know if I can see a performance somewhere closer to home. Many thanks!

After all the posts about doing your own work, I hesitate to post this!    ‘ve been given an udu, a Nigerian drum, and I’m looking for published (or not) SATB repertory with which I can use the drum.  I’ve only found a few Christmas carols.  Are there some Nigerian pieces out there I’m missing?  And am I being […]
