The Church cannot abide her precious treasures to be squandered and lost. This includes both the texts she has chosen to proclaim in the Church Year as well as the notes that this Word has sanctified. These melodies are the handmaiden that God has provided to lift up His theology. To this end, I offer these transcriptions of the Propers for the Church Year from the gregorian into English in modern notation. Permission is granted for use in a church or school setting to print, copy, perform and record. No alterations, collections, or published works may be made from these files. No performance or recording for commercial use or profit may be made without prior consent. For basic information read here, for practice, here.

Dear friends in Christ,
Our congregation has now moved to the 1 year lectionary. We are extremely happy with the decision. The next step is to develop a year long (or longer) catechumenate that flows from our liturgical life and the readings of the historic lectionary. I have begun research and study into doing this, but I do not want to re-invent the wheel!!!! Any advice? Any resources for a confessional Lutheran catechumenate flowing from the 1 year lectionary? Thanks for any help you can provide!
In Christ,
Rev. Tim Droegemueller

These propers are valuable indeed. A treasure not be allowed to escape us. I see the posts and responses here are quite dated. Can anyone tell me how progress is going on this project? Is there a timetable for its projected completion? Blessings!
