  1. This is a lovely setting. So you have the full score available (to buy)? We have a range of wind instruments in our church, and it is nice to be able to play harmonies as well as the melody and guitar parts. We are planning to use it for our Palm Sunday mass.

    1. Hi Paul, glad you like this setting. We haven’t got full score available at the moment, sorry. It’s certainly something we’ll consider for future though. God bless.

  2. Thank you. I used the Responsorial psalms for our Lenten group. The Refrains were very easy to join in and the settings certainly added to our discussions.

  3. This is so easily organised. I wish I can read the music. Thank you to all who made this liturgy as simple as anything. May the Lord bless you all. Happy Easter to come.
