Unwritten memo to composers: “Set the propers”

September 24, 2008 by Aristotle A. Esguerra1 comment.

In light of all of the liturgical music reform verbiage coming from diverse places like official Church organs and bloggers like myself, and as a result of reading Jeffrey Tucker’s recent reflections on William Byrd’s settings of the Mass propers, it seems that there is an implied directive to today’s and tomorrow’s composers of sacred [...]

Ineffabilis

August 4, 2008 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

I was going to write a bit more about the ICEL translation copyright issue, but this NLM post ended up making me way too angry to think straight. (“Don’t post angry, do not post angry.”) However, it did remind me of one more World Youth Day 2008 story. When we arrived in Sydney late Monday [...]

“Gen Y’s papal connection”

July 27, 2008 by Aristotle A. Esguerra0 comments.

The Australian’s Christopher Pearson gives a very reasonable post-WYD report. Some excerpts: Last week the Pope assured Sydney’s huge crowds that the church was not old and moribund but, like them, full of youth and vigour. To a wider audience, especially in Australia, this may well have seemed counter-intuitive. However, from a global perspective it’s [...]

“Critical mass”

June 14, 2008 by Aristotle A. Esguerra1 comment.

The Australian posted a story today about George Palmer, the New South Wales Supreme Court judge who was awarded the commission to compose the Mass setting for World Youth Day. PDF files of the setting are available at the official WYD site. Mr. Palmer’s setting not only makes use of Latin, but also serves as [...]
