At the St. Joseph’s Chant Institute

Music for Mass, Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.

Fr. Jeff writes, “I had never sung Mass IX before and it is exceptionally beautiful.”

Here are links to mp3s and scores to Mass IX “cum jubilo”. Listen to it for yourself and see if you agree.

I had been insanely busy earlier in the week with big doings in my parish, but Friday morning, exhausted but finished (at last!_ I decided to drive an hour and a half to Renssalaer to go to Mass and hear Fr. Heiman’s workshop schola.
Went to the chapel, was told by someone that Mass was in the Oratory.

Ostio-crani-ite that I am, even I had a small clue I was in the wrong place to hear the schola when the celebrant began to read the entrance antiphon.

Ah well, now I’ll just have to buy the CD! (And time spent in the presence of Christ, music or no, is never wasted.)


Why did they do Mass IX for the Solemnity of St. John the Baptist?


yea….Mass IX is usually meant for feasts of the Blessed Virgin.


We were only in the first days of practice on Mass XVII since the CD is Lenten and Triduum chants.

Mass IX was on the last CD and all the returning singers knew it.


That being said, Mass IX is probably one of my absolute favorites. I have always loved that Kyrie and the Agnus Dei of Mass IX brings back some wonderful memories, and I’m probably more sentimentally attached to Agnus IX than any other piece of the Kyriale (except maybe Kyrie IX ad libitum).


actually the main character from that controversial movie “Agnes of God” sang the Agnus Dei from Mass IX from the belltower at the end.
