A case study in copywriting emulation

April 30, 2009 by Aristotle A. Esguerra4 comments.

Gregor Kollmorgen at New Liturgical Movement has alerted readers there of beginners’ Gregorian chant lessons that will take place this summer at the Institute of Christ the King’s St. Francis de Sales Oratory in South St. Louis. Upon reading their announcement, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities between its wording and an earlier announcement [...]

“In aeternum cantabo”

April 24, 2009 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

Fr. Mark Daniel Kirby, who blogs at Vultus Christi, offers what he calls a “modest contribution” to the discussion on New Liturgical Movement (and by extension the MusicaSacra Forum and this blog post) surrounding the question “Can Hymns Licitly Replace Propers?” In fact, the contribution ends up being much more valuable than how he describes [...]

An article from Susan Benofy, published in the November 2007 edition of the Adoremus Bulletin with the title  “Singing the Mass: we cannot say that one song is as good as another”, is making the rounds at the MusicaSacra Forum and the New Liturgical Movement.  Read the article here. The focus of the discussion centers [...]

Please welcome a new contributor to CantemusDomino

February 10, 2009 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

Why I didn’t think of inviting Michael E. Lawrence to contribute to this blog months ago baffles me.  But the former contributor to The New Liturgical Movement and the chief steward of Fragmented Obsessions (where I occasionally write on things nonmusical) has accepted my invitation to join me here.  For those familiar with Michael’s writings [...]

Ceteris Paribus: proving the principle or undermining it?

December 4, 2007 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

On the New Liturgical Movement, Jeffrey Tucker focuses on “Sing to the Lord’s” citation of Sacrosanctum Concilium ¶116; specifically, its use of ceteris paribus — “other things being equal” — in describing Gregorian chant’s pride of place in the Sacred Liturgy. An excerpt (my emphasis in boldface): We add “other things being equal” as a means [...]

On the Wednesday, Nov. 28 edition of Soundcheck, host John Schaefer interviewed Damian Thompson about the recent actions of Pope Benedict to increase the use of Gregorian chant and other sacred music within their proper context of worship. (Mr. Thompson, as many readers are probably aware, recently gained some notoriety for his frank diatribes against [...]

"Why Is Gregorian Chant Making a Comeback?"

November 16, 2007 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

The Catholic Answer publishes an article from Arlene Oost-Zinner and Jeffrey Tucker about this sung prayer form. This can serve as a brief overview of what the Church asks of her musicians when she proposes Gregorian chant’s primacy of place in sung worship. A particularly fitting coda closes this piece (my emphasis added): The renewed [...]
