Proper chants for the Ordinary-Form Confirmation Mass
December 15, 2009 by — 3 comments.
Today for the first time ever, I was asked to provide input on music for a Confirmation Mass. This particular Mass is to be held at St. Ignatius on May 8, 2010. Not knowing if there was music specifically for this Mass, I referred to the 1974 Graduale Romanum. Sure enough, on page 644 one [...]

(NB: This is a working draft of an article that may or may not appear elsewhere. Comments and constructive criticism encouraged.) In a 2006 letter, Bishop Robert C. Morlino of Madison, Wisconsin reminded us of the Second Vatican Council’s clear teaching about where the presence of Christ occurs during the Mass: [T]he most sacramentally intense [...]

English-language polyphonic Offertories by Richard Rice
September 17, 2009 by — 1 comment.
Earlier today, Richard Rice released six Offertory settings on the MusicaSacra Forum: Not exactly new, just the latest sifting through the archives, which gave me a chance to rework these ten year old English Offertory settings. They are all SATB a cappella, strictly common practice, in the Tudor English Anthem vein (to the best of [...]

Paul has taken to realize the vision for liturgical music as outlined in the Church’s liturgical legislation and traditions. A summary of the conversation may be found on NLM.

Thomas Day on Archbishop Rembert Weakland OSB
May 12, 2009 by — 3 comments.
Since the media has seen fit to place former Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland in the news, I thought it would be useful for some to get another angle on his background. I first encountered his name in 2002 when reading Thomas Day’s 1990 book Why Catholics Can’t Sing: The Culture of Catholicism and the Triumph [...]

“In aeternum cantabo”
April 24, 2009 by — 0 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 [...]

Gloria XI, in segmented MP3 files
April 23, 2009 by — 0 comments.
Following up on the Credo I segmented MP3s, I have made available phrase-by-phrase segments of Gloria XI, the melody that the Roman Church proposes for Sundays in Ordinary Time (Ordinary Form) and Post-Pentecost (Extraordinary Form). When parishes employ a Gregorian chant setting of the Gloria, almost invariably it is the Gloria VIII “de Angelis”. While [...]

Credo I, in segmented mp3 files
April 18, 2009 by — 5 comments.
The Second Vatican Council called for steps to be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Mass which pertain to them, regardless of how predominant the usage of the vernacular could and indeed has become.[1] Given the widespread musical illiteracy of [...]
