The Baptism Song (Tiny Baby) Words and Music by Dennis Buettner
Verse 1 B E Tiny baby lying there. B E Not a worry. Not a care...
One of our TCS members, tinaway-48, is looking for an old Catholic hymn, writing:
We used to sing it in May when I was in grammar school (St. Thomas More, Paradise, CA). The first verse went: "Mother Dearest think that never here on earth it has been heard that in sorrows whatsoever men to thee in vain have fled."
Can anyone help locate this song? I have had no luck so far. The song lyrics are reminiscent of the Memorare prayer:
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

The rollout of a new Spanish translation of the Latin, 3rd typical edition of the Missale Romanum has begun. This new missal—the Misal Romano, tercera edición— has been produced for use in the United States of America. It became available from publishers beginning in May 2018, and its use has been optional since the Vigil of Pentecost (19 May 2018). Its implementation becomes mandatory on the First Sunday of Advent (2 December 2018).
Although my assessment is undoubtedly affected by the fact that I don’t presently work directly with any Spanish-speaking communities, it seems to me that preparation for this new Misal Romano has been less extensive than was the preparatory phase of the 2011 English missal. In one respect, this makes sense, inasmuch as the contrast between the new Spanish translation and the former version is not nearly as pronounced as was the difference between the old and new English translations. Nevertheless, making an adequate effort to prepare for the new Spanish missal remains essential.
One aspect of the new Misal Romano which deserves serious attention is its incorporation of chant. Just as the 2011 English edition of the missal was groundbreaking in its extensive use of musical notation for many of the chants of the Mass, so too the new Misal Romano, tercera edición will feature...

Engagée dans la diffusion de la musique catholique, je cherche à partager des chants pour contribuer à l’œuvre d’évangélisation selon mes humbles moyens. Que Dieu veille sur chacun de nous !
I've written a Mass setting, got it approved by the USCCB, several psalm settings, and a couple years of gospel acclamation verses. Looking for a place to publish my works.
As a Catholic songwriter and singer myself, I want to contribute to the community and receive info on how to promote good Catholic songs to a wide audiences.
I am Catholic and a piano teacher. The Catholic Church has the most beautiful treasury of hymns.
I want my students to study hymns. Also, I want to memorize the words of some of the hymns that are in Latin and having access to the sheet music will help with that. Thank you.
I'm a music director at a Cathedral and a composer. I would love to hear other composers, music, ideas, etc. Additionally, I'd like to share my own music.
I am searching for a hymn sung on line in Canada - when I am confined to home and watch mass. I am a piano player for many years and would like to find the musical score.
I have written and recorded about 70 songs over the last two decades. I would like to share them with a larger audience. Thank you and God bless your work Ron St Martin
I am a Catechist that believes that religious song is the prayer of the angels, that lifts the soul. What better way to get a child to feel the present of God's peace
I am a practicing Roman Catholic always trying to increase my faith and holiness. I like Christian music particularly prefer Catholic Christian when I am driving or at home completing tasks.
I have been a minister of music for almost 40 years, and I am, primarily, an ear-trained pianist/composer. I am hoping that, becoming a member, I will be able to find sheet music (mostly, lead sheets, if available), that also contain the guitar chords, as I, typically, see them, and then, improvise, accordingly.
