SSND nuns taught me how to spell

The School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) in Minnesota – and a handful of lay teachers – taught me how to spell in grades 1-12. They instilled in me a love of learning and accuracy in writing. My respect and care for proper grammar and spelling continued throughout my four years at St. John's University in Collegeville, MN. See these articles on reverential capitalization. The jury is still out. It's personal or publisher preference. https://www.stcatherinercc.org/single-post/...

How do you know how to spell

Author: Jeremy St Martin

How do you know how to spell so well? That must take a lot of study. I think capitals and lowercase realities are far easier to understand. The words you quoted are spelled right? Is that rite? I mean Wright. O.K.

THANKS

Our true and eternal home is being in joy filled union with our Father, our Lord ,Holy Spirit and with Mary and all the saints and angels in heaven!

Guitar accompaniment?

Author: Richard Schletty

Thanks, Erwin, for sharing your setting of Psalm 27. The guitar accompaniment file is the same as the guitar plus voice version. Is this a mistake? You can edit your post if you need to upload a new audio file.

Thy Will Be Done

This song is really great. I like the expression of yearning for a home beyond a home.

Thank you

Wow

That came out good. The exhelation at the end was very good. We do know that our true home is in heaven; in the depths we know this. Beautiful

Thanks very much

Thanks very much, Richard. Will definitely try to get it performed.

Now and 177 AD

Author: Richard Schletty

I like the juxtaposition of now vs. then (177 AD). I have used a similar device in some of my writings. Very interesting narrative. I hope you can get someone to sing this. "The girl rose past the crowd and its noise" – a great line. A view of her ascent.

Many melodic approaches

Author: Richard Schletty

There sure were a lot of different melodies and chord progressions written for the Faber text. The melody by W. C. Peters (Peters’ Catholic Harp, 1895) is difficult to sing with its high ascents and huge intervals. I like the simple melody by Henry Baker – Arundel Hymnal, 1905. It is in my tessitura.

Great lyrics

Author: Kfmiller

Great lyrics work with strong chord selection to make this really powerful.

GIA Archivist looking

Author: Don9of11

Thank you Rich for looking. I reached out to GIA archivist and she is going to check with the editors if they have anything. They may want me to sign something limiting my use of the mass setting to research only. I also checked with the Cleveland Diocese archives and they don't have anything. Don

Choose Life

Author: Stephen DeCesare

I presented it everywhere I could. Unfortunately this is a topic that gets like thin ice and hard to find an audience for. I really like your piece. You should self-publish it on sheetmusicplus and all the other platforms. Share it on Twitter and other outlets just to get it out there. That's what I do. I have one very similar to it that I'm putting up tomorrow called "Right to Life" where the mother is VERY selfish and only thinking of her and wants the...

Thank you

The choice should always be for life

Author: Richard Schletty

A very poignant and heartfelt dialog. Excellent performance. Where did you present this song? By the way, I collaborated on a song with a similar theme – except that the father of the unborn child chose death, followed by a lifetime of regret. topcatholicsongs.com/daddy-shultz-schletty

Catchy canon

Author: Richard Schletty

I like this. It would work well for a grade school concert. Well done.

Thanks

Author: asiansa09

Thank Richard, I write the song in the form of a song lyric. It is not a complete song yet, but it speaks from the heart about how I feel at the moment. It is a journey of faith, and it is an open door of opportunity for others to participate in completing the song. This is the Jubilee 2025 year, and it is a reminder for everyone to enter the Holy Door for blessing upon Christ & the Holy Family in the direction of the saints.

The Grotto

Dan Vi: Thanks for sharing your verses about the The Grotto – The National Sanctuary of Our Sorrowful Mother. I visited the website thegrotto.org. What a beautiful place for centering oneself in this "oasis in the city [where] visitors and pilgrims find serenity, comfort, and inspiration as they walk through the gardens." It would be hard to turn this into a song with regular meter and rhyme. However, it could be sung in plainchant style. Your words could also be an...

Thank you, Cecil.

Author: Erwin Cabucos

Yes, I was cogniszant of that when I composed it. I wanted the verses to rise up to a wider horizon from the heavy emotive tone of the refrain or response. Thanks for the comment :) -Erwin

Thaxted

Author: Cantor Cecil

A familiar tune! I love it. From Wikipedia: "Thaxted" is a hymn tune by the English composer Gustav Holst, based on the stately theme from the middle section of the Jupiter movement of his orchestral suite The Planets and named after Thaxted, the English village where he lived much of his life.

Nice chord progressions and melody

Author: Cantor Cecil

Well done. I like the chord lift at the end of the refrain, leading into the verses.

Lyrics

Author: AlmosLataan

Thank you. I often write things a little too fast, and end up making many revisions and versions. Something I'm learning from. Thank you again for your kind words.

Your joy I’ll be

Author: Richard Schletty

I like the revised lyrics – the thoughts of a preborn child using simple poetry, directed to both mother and father. Very nice.

hymn accompaniment

OMG, I just got this in an email only a few moments ago. I have the accompaniment for this hymn but it won't let me upload it. [Don sent the file to site admin, Richard, who is posting it here] PDF file: O-Fairest-Flower-of-Italy-St.-Christine-keyboard-accompaniment

O Fairest Flower of Italy hymn

Author: Richard Schletty

For anyone who is curious, here is the hymn "O Fairest Flower of Italy". As Don wrote above, lyrics were written by the Sisters of Notre Dame and music was composed by Bishop Schrembs. This is a simple melody version. I do not have the organ accompaniment for Diocesan Hymnal, Part Two, Hymns for Monthly Devotions, J. Fischer & Bro., 1928.

Thank you

Author: Stephen DeCesare

Thank you. Never heard about this saint until someone posted on him on Twitter. Fascinating story and I had to write something.

Viva Cristo Rey!

Author: Richard Schletty

Nicely composed and performed. An inspiring story and prayer to bolster our faith.

Empty handed but enriched

Author: Richard Schletty

Yes, I came up empty handed on my research but was enriched by the things I found out about this particular St. Christina, as well as the liturgical musical contributions of Bishop Joseph Schrembs.

Great research!

Author: Don9of11

Thank you for your research and efforts to locate the hymn. I was in touch with the Cleveland Diocesan Music Director and he informed me that the Cathedral archives has a Litany set to music by Bishop Schrembs for St. Christina, however I have not seen it yet. I have all three of Bishop Schrembs Diocesan hymn books and the hymn "O Fairest Flower of Italy" was written by the Sisters of Notre Dame and was set to music by Bishop Schrembs and harmonized by J.M. , who happens to be Joseph...

Thank you for your suggestion

Author: AlmosLataan

Thank you for your suggestion and help with the EQ. I will go in again with a word change I think. Also, thank you for sharing your pro-life song. It's great to see that others are also supporting the unborn through their music. Also, I had a little look on your YouTube. Wonderful to hear the hymn renditions, and see the community life.

Take a chance on collaborating!

Author: Richard Schletty

You don't have to be nervous about posting here at this website. I remember my first few weeks of posting at MacJams.com in the year 2004. I had my first Mac capable of running GarageBand, and I knew very little about recording voice or instruments, using loops, and sequencing tracks. MacJams was set up as a music sharing and collaboration site. It ran strong for about 10 or 11 years, then fizzled out. But during that time I made a lot of good connections with other musicians and composers...

Oops

Author: AlmosLataan

Oops, I replied to you, but below on normal thread.

Thank you for the feedback

Author: AlmosLataan

Yes, perhaps I will go back in and change a few things then. I did originally have "God's child I am" in a very early version, but then I got caught up in rhyming, etc, and forgot to include a similar line. Probably shows too little prayer on my part. In terms of voice, I think the culprit may be a lack of experience. I've just really started out with music. I will try to use EQ - I have heard it mentioned before, but I'm just taking one step at a time, and hadn't reached that yet! Ha. I think...

Interesting point of view

Author: Richard Schletty

This is an interesting point of view. Very simple poetry which is effective in conveying an intimate message of love from the preborn child. Thanks for sharing. Yes, I would mention God. I would like to hear your voice a bit less "muddy". Can you brighten it by using EQ (equalization)? What software did you use to recird this? I may have more suggestions later.

Change?

Author: AlmosLataan

Also, I realized upon finishing the song that I had made no reference to God. I'm unsure as to whether I should go back in and change one or two lines ... What do people think? Also, any other constructive criticism welcome.

Devotional hymns, forbidden hymnals

Author: Richard Schletty

Thanks for the additional information concerning devotional hymns. I had to wonder if Jeff Ostrowski has done an article on the Black List. I searched for Black List on his website, Corpus Christi Watershed – ccwatershed.org. No search results. However, I did find his article called "What Makes a Hymnal Catholic". In it he discusses forbidden hymnals, reviews by theologians, and Protestant translations.

Black and White List

Author: Don9of11

The principal leader of The Society of St. Gregory of America was Nicola Montani (aka M. Colas), a well known Catholic author, publisher, composer, and organist. The justification of the Black List and the White List that followed was the 1903 Moto Proprio of Pope Pius X. Marian hymns were the main target of the harsh and cart blanch attacks by the Society of St. Gregory as well as many hymns to the Sacred Heart, hymns for May processions, novena prayer hymns and hymns used by Holy Name...

O Jesus Christ, Remember

Author: Richard Schletty

I found this of great interest in your article about the hymn O Jesus Christ, Remember: "The Black List as it became known was an attempt by the Society to condemn as many of the popular Catholic hymnals of the day in favor of its own St. Gregory and Choir Book. Since the St. Basil’s Hymnal was by far the most dominant hymnal across the United States, it received the harshest criticism and was deemed objectionable, so far as its liturgical, literary and artistic value is concerned,...

Words spoken well

Author: Richard Schletty

Alex, Congrats on a followup to Twice Saved. I listened to all five tracks. You have a great voice with an "accent" that is the envy of this Minnesotan. :-) Your words are deep and poetic and your delivery is energetic but sometimes a little too frenetic. Hey, I just rhymed! One other minor nit is the background sound level on First Offering – it's too loud against your voice. Remember what I told you about "ducking" your voice? "Ducking" your voice...

Our refuge is the Lord

Author: Richard Schletty

Your rendition of this psalm is lyrical beauty. They say singing is twice praying. Add guitar and it's thrice praying!

Hail Mary – less drawn out

Author: Richard Schletty

I agree that Carey Landry's "Hail Mary, Gentle Woman" can get a bit long, especially if the musicians set a slow tempo. I have sung it numerous times. Your version is good. I would try to work more on a couple line endings which need a bit more prosody (keeping words in sync with tempo). For the very same aim of simplicity, Tony Moran (RIP) and I collaborated on a couple versions of Hail Mary, one in English and another in Spanish. Hail Mary - Faith Songs for Kids https://youtu.be...

Very melodic and prayerful

Author: Richard Schletty

A beautiful reflection on the glorious assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. I really like the melody and pacing in the verses. The guitar, bass and violin give this a fullness without being overdone. A truly inspired setting of Psalm 44(45).

Old iMac with GarageBand

Author: Richard Schletty

Ron, don't you have the capability to record directly into GarageBand on your iMac? We gotta get you a microphone! Have you done multi-track recording with GarageBand in the past? In other words, record voice and guitar on separate tracks.

Yes a flute

Author: ronsue

I sort of hear it too. As I may have said before I record all these latest songs on a G5 google phone, then upload them up to YouTube as MP4 videos. Then I download them on a very old version of GarageBand on an old iMAC, then turn into MP3 to upload onto topcatholicsongs. If you would like to record the song yourself and add a flute or any other instrument, that you could do. Ron

Infuse our entire being

Author: Richard Schletty

I like the melodic motion and the contrast between the verses and the refrain. This a heartfelt entreaty for Christ to dwell among us and infuse our entire being. In my mind I heard a flute accompanying this song.

On-site search indexing tip

Erwin, if you want people to be able to find this psalm via an on-site search, you need to include the following in the text of your post: Psalm 68: Turn to the Lord in your need and you will live. I realize that the psalm number and refrain appear in the YouTube thumbnail image but rasterized text can't be indexed. I hope this helps.

Singable psalms for medium low voices

Author: Richard Schletty

I like this arrangement. Thanks for noting the importance of an accessible vocal range. Too many hymns and psalms are written in a soprano-tenor range that ascends above high C. I have struggled with vocal strain for years – if a song has too many notes that hit high D and E. You give a good rendition here. I will definitely check out more of Brother Michael Herry's responsorial psalms at www.maristmusic.org.au Tony Moran and I wrote a complete 3-year psalter of Spanish...

No problem, Erwin. Not rude at all. It's common to give a one-page preview, just as you have done at sheetmusicplus.

Flawed or flowing?

Author: Richard Schletty

You aren't flawed. You are flowing with the Spirit. Good to hear from you again, Alex. I assume your dad is still doing the background sounds – nicely done and quite interesting. You are creating very good mixes now. I love your voice with its "Aussie urgency". I listened to a few tracks at BandCamp and will catch the rest soon. Best to you from "Up Over" – St. Paul, Minnesota. :-)

We Thank You, Lord

Erwin, thank you for sharing this. A nice melody and good words. I see page 1 of your score attached, but not page 2 with the chorus. However, Dr. Geoff Madden notes that the full score can be purchased at sheetmusicplus. I like how Dr. Geoff calls you "the Henry Mancini of Australian Catholic music." He created a nice instrumental rendition. Yes, I think this could be used in liturgical services. It is uplifting.

This is skillfully and artfully written and beautifully performed. Kudos to your worship team. This is the best arrangement of Psalm 109 (110) that I have heard so far. If I had seen this sooner, I would be presenting it this weekend for Feast of Corpus Christi at St. Stanislaus in St. Paul, MN. Unfortunately, we are scheduled to sing the Owen Alstott (OCP) arrangement which is not as artful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxrOSuqljA
