Yes, you'll have noticed that, by and large, the biretta problem corrected itself by today; (incidentally, we were told to wear the biretta until reaching the sanctuary step—most irregular in my opinion—for some allegedly good reason). <BR/>But one must expect mistakes; the good Pastor in Montehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949810648656544072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-61713410993721357512008-07-31T16:43:00.000+01:002008-07-31T16:43:00.000+01:00LBS: If you can get hold of a copy of "Singing in ...LBS: If you can get hold of a copy of "Singing in Latin" by Harold Copeman (now out of print, I think), it examines the evidence for pronunciation of Latin in various eras and countries, with the intention of helping singers render church music as the composer would have expected. Copeman goes into quite a lot of detail on the Tudor period.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010105719301587195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-48149720369789570872008-07-31T14:48:00.000+01:002008-07-31T14:48:00.000+01:00The pronunciation of ecclesiastical Latin varies a...The pronunciation of ecclesiastical Latin varies a lot; and the more widely it is used, the more it will vary. German, French and Italian pronunciations are quite distinct.

"Dominus" was supposed to be "Doh" but often it did come out as "DAW".

The only relic from the ancient quantities is the stress (for in Latin the quantity of the penult determined the stress in words of more than three syllables).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624191166989824833noreply@blogger.com
