This page is a few examples of the various resources that I have created to aid the celebration or chanting of the Liturgy of the Hours, the second of the two public prayers of the church. I can create a multitude of resources for you, your parish, or group. If you have a project you’d like, please contact me at the link above and briefly describe what you have in mind, and I can create it for free, or for a small fee (depending on the time needed to complete the project) Your project will be delivered via email as a PDF, and will also be posted to this page.
I have also created simple guides to assist those who are learning the Liturgy of the Hours. If you have something in mind, send me an email, and we can work something out for a minimal fee.
Though I have no examples of projects with neumes at this time, I have the ability to typeset documents that include stemless modern notation or neumes. Here is some examples of past projects:
