LITURGICAL STUDIES Resources on the Net    

 

LITURGICAL MUSIC Resources on the Net   

  • Ben Chi, Pipe Organs and Related Topics. Archives for the PIPORG-L Internet mailing list, plus many links of interest to organists.

  • Choral Archives. Small but interesting collection of MIDI, finale (.fnl), and Quicktime movie files. Some plain text files for lyrics.

  • ChoralNet. Home page for several discussion groups, and points to other online resources for choral music. Available in English, German, French, and Spanish.

  • The Church Music & the Kinetic Arts section from Lift Up Your Hearts. A goldmine of categorized links. Sparse annotations, though. [47K text, 12K graphics].

  • A Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People Called Methodists (1876). [118K]. Hymn texts only.

  • The Cyber Hymnal. Hymn texts and MIDI files, together on one page. Organ sound. Listed by title. There are also indexes for special topics. Some pages offer the option of reading a brief biography of the composer.

  • Nigel Day, Hymns. Historical background on texts and tunes of selected hymns.

  • The Exsultet. Text and RealAudio file, both in English.

  • Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676), Hymns. Hymn texts only, in German and English, from one of the great Lutheran hymnwriters.

  • William Graeber, Classical Midi Organ Stop! [28K text, 50K graphics]. MIDI files, mostly hymnody. Uses frames, which make it more difficult to find the resources unique to this site. "Pipe Organ" has sequences: most for MIDI organ, a few for sound cards. "Midiscan for Fun" is the primary section for MIDI hymntunes for sound card; these sound like piano. Hymns are listed by title. Also worth investigating is the "Religious MIDI Links" page, which includes the Baptist Hymnal, the Lutheran Hymnal, and the Methodist Hymnal. Most pages automatically begin playing a MIDI file, but a console is provided so that you can adjust the volume or turn the sound off.

  • Tad Inoue, Church Music Research Tools. English and Japanese. Frames-dependent. Featuring an extensive bibliography: titles in original languages, annotations in Japanese. Site also has directories of Internet resources related to the study of church music. Inoue, who has earned both the M.Div. and the M.M.--Church Music, is pastor of Hekinan Bible Church, Aichi, Japan.

  • Sherman Isbell, How to Use a Split-Leaf Psalter (1997). Review of The Psalms in Metre (Oxford University Press, 1990), 316 pp.

  • Rick Kephart, Gregorian Chant Notation. Explains how to read Gregorian chant. Must have graphics capability.

  • Martin Luther (1483-1546)

  • Music for the Church of God. Virtual hymnal with texts and MIDI files, complete contents of three metrical psalters online, articles related to metrical psalm singing.

  • National Association of Pastoral Musicians. Membership organization. Web site features news, job listings, and an electronic mailing list.

  • The "O" Antiphons, from the Dominican Antiphonarium, with the Christmas Proclamation. For each of the Great O Antiphons, this site provides an image of Gregorian chant notation with Latin text, an (unfortunately unsingable) English translation, and a RealAudio file of the Latin.

  • Thomas Ravenscroft, The Whole Booke of Psalmes: With the Hymnes Evangelicall, and Songs Spiritvall. Scanned page images of Ravenscroft's psalter of 1621.

  • Sacred Congregation of Rites, Musicam sacram (Instruction on Music in the Liturgy). 5 Mar. 1967.

  • Willy Schuyesmans, Gregorian Chant. Of particular interest are the bibliography (which includes a discography) and "Gregorian chant on the Net." In Dutch, English, French, and Portuguese.

  • William Walker, Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion. New ed. (1847). The classic of American shape-note singing. Scores scanned in .gif format, in two sizes. Includes texts and MIDI files (organ sound), so that you can see the lyrics or the score while listening to the music. Can search by hymn tune, first line, last name of composer, or meter.
