Two English-Latin sung Tenebrae resources
March 30, 2009 by — 2 comments.
In the Roman Rite, Tenebrae — the “Office of Darkness” — combines Matins and Lauds of the Divine Office on Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.[1] While some parishes hold these liturgies, they are a distinct minority. (I myself have never assisted at Tenebrae; I didn’t know such a thing existed until one of [...]

Easter Vigil responsorial psalms set to Gregorian chant melodies
February 22, 2009 by — 3 comments.
Hopefully these are posted in time for someone to consider using them. Like the interlectionary chants in the Graduale Romanum, all of these are in Mode VIII. The melodies are adaptations of those commonly found in the antiphons of the Divine Office, and the psalm tones for the verses (8G or 8c) are fully notated [...]

Questioning organ volume levels
May 20, 2008 by — 0 comments.
Amy Welborn revisits the topic of excessive organ volume levels, relating the moment she began to question them: It was Holy Thursday two years ago. Some of you might know that after the Gloria on Holy Thursday, there is not supposed to be any more musical accompaniment in Mass until Easter Vigil. A Capella is [...]

Last weekend the angel of musical invention paid me a rare visit. Even rarer, the visit was of considerable length. What resulted was the very first original composition that I can truly say I’m proud of composing: a four-voice setting of the Good Friday antiphon Crucem tuam [ gif | mp3 ], with fauxbourdon verse, [...]

A tale of two church music journals, in their own words
January 22, 2008 by — 0 comments.
Recently the Church Music Association of America released most of their Sacred Music journal archives from 1975-2007 in PDF format. Some months prior to this, the National Association of Pastoral Musicians made their Pastoral Music journal archives, of basically the same time period, freely available in the same format. I was beginning to write a [...]

Ad libitum Eucharistic Antiphons from the Graduale Romanum
July 8, 2005 by — 2 comments.
Page 391 of the 1974 Graduale Romanum lists seven Antiphonae Eucharisticae pro Communione ad libitum adhibendae, which may, for pastoral reasons, supplant the Communion chant proper to the day. If done responsorially with the verses specified by the Graduale, either in Latin or the vernacular, the same antiphon/psalm combination could conceivably be used over multiple [...]
