Review of Parish Music (Summer 2020)

At this point no choral or congregational singing is permitted in Church because of COVID-19.  There is scope for a cantor and, of course, for organ voluntaries interludes.  (I have recommended to one of our players the Couperin Messe des Paroisses).  I thought it might help me, and maybe others, if I brought out and published a list of desirable music, as sung to date, and what had been planned for better times.  Some of the items (those marked *) remain an aspiration.  This repertoire has built up over the last eight years, with help from Fr Daniel Lloyd, who served here as a curate.  His help was to compile accessible seasonal mass booklets though, of course, he also made many valuable suggestions.  There are no hymns in this list.  I have included hymns in the liturgy but they are governed by performability, popularity, suitability, and taste,
