Mass settings

[Sesquialtera]

Hello! I've not posted very much/for a while on here, but I hope to rectify that!

I was just wondering which Mass settings you use at your churches. There seem to be a great many. One of the churches where I play the organ uses the New English Mass by Patrick Appleford, which I'm not terribly keen on. Another one I play at, which is RC, uses a variety of items from different settings, including the Gathering Mass by Paul Inwood. The service music at that church is all of my choosing though!

We ought to seriously chat Mass settings on this thread!

One of the oddities of this site is that there is no forum for church organists. There are forums for all kinds of other instruments and instrumentalists, leaving one to think that all church music today is contemporary Christian music in Protestant churches.

My first reaction was that you might want to have your thread in the OBOB forum, but I don't think you will find many posters there who will respond. Likewise, I think your response rate here will be very limited.

Previously, I concluded that there must be some web sites for church organists. You might want to look into that possibility if you can't get much discussion going here. As for myself, my experience as a church organist was extremely limited to the summer of 1973 in a very tiny Lutheran church.
