Re: Rates for All Services to the Diocese of Honolulu
In the interest of a just and more realistic
compensation, the following rates are provided for various musical services. They are
effective immediately. If you are a diocesan department, you may want to review your music
budget, and accommodate these changes. The prices here are competitive. Others of
professional caliper assess higher rates, and many musicians do not possess liturgical
proficiency.
The "old" rates have been in place
since 1984. If you believe these rates to be too high or unreasonable, then I recommend
you inaugurate research into the true value of music in liturgy. Musicians are
not a dime a dozen; in fact, good liturgical musicians are rare. I have
consistently shown my personal musicianship to be professional, cordial, and pastoral. Not
all musicians are able to provide quality liturgical music. I thank you for your continued
support of my work with the People of God in Hawai`i.
Liturgy
Eucharist $150.00
Funerals* $150.00 *optional: Music for visitation before Eucharist

Weddings [simple rite or Nuptial
Mass] $150.00

Preparation @ hour $25.00
All programs and individual music selections are
subject to my prior approval. All liturgical celebrations are celebrations of the church,
not honorifics for individuals. Each celebration should demonstrate an enthusiastic
awareness of the the church year and liturgical principles of simplicity, pre-eminence of
the gathered assembly, and good musical and ritual taste.
All liturgical services may include extra
fees for program preparations. The hourly rate of $25 is for consulting and typesetting.
Your programs, even if self-made, must be reviewed by me for
appropriateness. Music choices contrary to the official music documents will not be
allowed.

like] 1st hour: $150.00
