COMING SOON . . . . . . . FOURTH EDITION OF ST. MICHAEL HYMNAL
Fourth Edition of the St. Michael Hymnal:
Call for new settings of the Ordinary of the Mass
The St. Michael Hymnal is happy to announce that a new edition of the hymnal is presently being prepared for use with the new translation of the Roman Missal. The Fourth Edition will remain unchanged in its commitment to beauty in orthodoxy, and those who have come to love the hymnal will find even more to love in this new edition.
In addition to an improved selection of classic and contemporary hymnody, the Mass Ordinary section will be completely re-done in order to incorporate the new translation of the Ordinary of the Mass. As this new translation has been approved by the Holy Father and is now finalized (it may be found on the USCCB website), we would like to ask for submissions of new settings of the new Mass Ordinary to be considered for inclusion in the Fourth Edition of the St. Michael Hymnal. Composers may send settings either as Finale files or, preferably, as PDF files.
We are looking for 8-10 new settings of the Mass Ordinary – both metrical and plainchant – and are happy to consider any and all submissions. If a setting is chosen for inclusion, a contract and copyright details would then be negotiated with the composer. To submit a setting or for any other questions or information about the Fourth Edition of the St. Michael Hymnal, please email: StMichaelHymnal@gmail.com.
