The Offices for the Two Feasts of Saint Dominic Dissertation Presented In The Offices for the Two Feasts of S ain t Dominic Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Patrick Michael Taylor Bergin Jr., M.A. Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee: Charles Atkinson, Advisor David Clampitt Lois Rosow Copyright by Patrick Michael Taylor Bergin Jr. 2019 Abstract The foundation of the Order of Preachers in 1216 by Dominic of Osma (ca. 1173 - 1221, and the founder’s own meritorious life — exemplifying the virtues of a vir evangelicus for his spiritual descendants — represent a key moment in the religious history of the Middle Ages. Receiving its definitive form in the mid - 1250s, the Dominican Rite provided for the liturgical celebration and memorial of its founder with two feasts: the p rincipal feast, 5 August, held on the vigil of his death, and the translation, 24 May, celebrating the transfer of his relics on that date in 1233, during which a miraculous fragrance ( odor mirificus ) and many healings occurred, speeding along Dominic’s ca nonization, which occurred on 3 July 1234. The two offices for these feasts developed in stages similar to those of the liturgy of the Rite to which they belonged. In addition to a study of these developments, the present dissertation examines the proper chants of the offices and presents the results in commentaries on each item. This analysis reveals that the texts were carefully constructed, with attention to narrative continuity based on Dominic’s early vitae , allusion to biblical and patristic sources, and the creation of striking poetic effects. Together with their melodies, which like the texts were newly composed, these pieces create an official liturgical memory of Dominic, providing a common formation, education, and understanding of the faith for the members of the Order. Each office emphasizes different aspects of Dominic’s person and his life. The principal feast reminds the assembled brethren of the life, miracles, death, and heavenly i glorification of their founder, describing his virtues and wo rks, and presenting him as a model worthy of imitation. The feast of the Translation focuses on the historical translation itself — the disinterment of Dominic’s remains and the miracles accompanying it — highlighting Christ as the source of these wonders and Dominic as heavenly intercessor. The offices’ annual reminders of Dominic nourished the Dominican brethren and helped keep the example of their father, who sought to emulate Christ, at the center of their activity. Modern editions of both the principal off ice and the Translation, heretofore lacking, appear in the appendices of this dissertation, providing an opportunity for comparison of the musical items of these two offices as they appear in the two most important early sources: Rome, Archivum Generale Or dinis Praedicatorum, “Santa Sabina” XIV L1, and Londo n, British Library , Additional MS 23935. The loss of large portions of the offices caused by the abandonment of the Dominican Rite in 1969 has obscured the vivid image of Dominic that they portray, ther eby depriving current Dominicans of an important part of their formation: the constant reminder and inspiration provided by the example of their founder. The present study is itself founded upon the hope that the analyses conducted here will motivate furth er scholarship considering the divine office in general and individual offices in particular, and that the revelation of the rich depiction of Dominic that the two offices provide might encourage a return to their medieval form. ii For three women : m y M o m , Judy ( † 2018) Maria , virgo potens , and especially, Laura iii Acknowledgements I am pleased to be able to offer my gratitude to so many people who have assisted in bringing this p roject to completion. The members of my committee, Dr. David Clampitt and Dr. Lois Rosow, offered numerous suggestions and comments to improve this work . I w as privilege d to conduct this research under Dr. Charles Atkinson, whose initial suggestion that I pursue the Versified Office brought me to the topic. His editorial su ggestions, comments, and general assistance may be seen throughout; any remaining deficiencies are the result of my own negligence. The interlibrary services departments of the Saint Louis County Library and the Thomas Jefferson Library ( University of Mis souri - St. Louis ) obtained several important items for me. T he Gaylord Music Library ( Washington University ) and Charles Souvay Memorial Library ( Kenrick - Glennon Seminary ) granted me borrowing privileges . Misti Shaw ( Indiana University ) arranged the loan of a key microfilm. The staff of the Music & Dance Library ( Ohio State University ) , particularly Alan Green, Sean Ferguson, and Michael Murray, arranged the purchase of several items and their shipment to me. Several scholars lent vital assistance: Barba ra Haggh - Huglo offered the offices for Dominic as a potential subject when my initial research was not working out. Kate Helsen helped me to navigate LMLO and Andrew Hughes’s databases. Innoc ent Smith, OP, shared several hard - to - find documents, practical knowledge, and a great deal of correspondence. M sgr. Timothy Cronin was a support and encouragement throughout the process. Dr. Diane Touliatos - Mi les, mentor and friend, introduced me to the Divine Office. Dom Mark Daniel Kirby, OSB, has taught and continu es to teach me a great deal about the Office. My parents, Judy ( †2018 ) and Pat , parents - in - law, Julie and Rob, and other family members and friends who offered support in many ways. My children, James, Oliver, and Leo, have shown patience and understanding beyond their years as I worked; they give me hope and joy. Finally, my wife, Laura , receives my highest gratitude for her abundant love, encouragement, and patience throughout this labor. Patrick M.

  • The Antiphonary of Bangor and Its Musical Implications
    The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications by Helen Patterson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Helen Patterson 2013 The Antiphonary of Bangor and its Musical Implications Helen Patterson Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This dissertation examines the hymns of the Antiphonary of Bangor (AB) (Antiphonarium Benchorense, Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana C. 5 inf.) and considers its musical implications in medieval Ireland. Neither an antiphonary in the true sense, with chants and verses for the Office, nor a book with the complete texts for the liturgy, the AB is a unique Irish manuscript. Dated from the late seventh-century, the AB is a collection of Latin hymns, prayers and texts attributed to the monastic community of Bangor in Northern Ireland. Given the scarcity of information pertaining to music in early Ireland, the AB is invaluable for its literary insights. Studied by liturgical, medieval, and Celtic scholars, and acknowledged as one of the few surviving sources of the Irish church, the manuscript reflects the influence of the wider Christian world. The hymns in particular show that this form of poetical expression was significant in early Christian Ireland and have made a contribution to the corpus of Latin literature. Prompted by an earlier hypothesis that the AB was a type of choirbook, the chapters move from these texts to consider the monastery of Bangor and the cultural context from which the manuscript emerges. As the Irish peregrini are known to have had an impact on the continent, and the AB was recovered in ii Bobbio, Italy, it is important to recognize the hymns not only in terms of monastic development, but what they reveal about music.

  • Profile of a Plant: the Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE By
    Profile of a Plant: The Olive in Early Medieval Italy, 400-900 CE by Benjamin Jon Graham A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2014 Doctoral Committee: Professor Paolo Squatriti, Chair Associate Professor Diane Owen Hughes Professor Richard P. Tucker Professor Raymond H. Van Dam © Benjamin J. Graham, 2014 Acknowledgements Planting an olive tree is an act of faith. A cultivator must patiently protect, water, and till the soil around the plant for fifteen years before it begins to bear fruit. Though this dissertation is not nearly as useful or palatable as the olive’s pressed fruits, its slow growth to completion resembles the tree in as much as it was the patient and diligent kindness of my friends, mentors, and family that enabled me to finish the project. Mercifully it took fewer than fifteen years. My deepest thanks go to Paolo Squatriti, who provoked and inspired me to write an unconventional dissertation. I am unable to articulate the ways he has influenced my scholarship, teaching, and life. Ray Van Dam’s clarity of thought helped to shape and rein in my run-away ideas. Diane Hughes unfailingly saw the big picture—how the story of the olive connected to different strands of history. These three people in particular made graduate school a humane and deeply edifying experience. Joining them for the dissertation defense was Richard Tucker, whose capacious understanding of the history of the environment improved this work immensely. In addition to these, I would like to thank David Akin, Hussein Fancy, Tom Green, Alison Cornish, Kathleen King, Lorna Alstetter, Diana Denney, Terre Fisher, Liz Kamali, Jon Farr, Yanay Israeli, and Noah Blan, all at the University of Michigan, for their benevolence.

  • Dominican Rite Practicum
    LSFT 2405 Dominican Rite Practicum Prepared by the Instructor 2020 Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology Fall 2020 LSFT 2405 First Meeting: Saturday, 9/5, SAP Library, 7:30 pm Dominican Rite Practicum Instructor: Fr. Augustine Thompson O.P. Office Hours: TBA at St. Albert’s Priory Course Description This course is a 1.5 unit graded liturgical practicum open to Dominican friar students, normally after residency year, best in the year of deaconal or priestly ordination. The goal is to acquire the ability to celebrate Low Mass and Missa Cantata according to the traditional Dominican Rite in Latin. The outcome will be a correct and fluid "dry Mass" celebration of the Dominican Rite Low Mass and of the Missa Cantata. These two exercises will in equal parts provide the two graded "exams" of the course. The format will be a practicum in which students perform the rite under the direction of the instructor. Admission to the Class Dominican friars who would like to be admitted to the class need to arrange an interview with the instructor. At the interview they will be asked to recite from memory the texts found on the next page. This memorization is not-negotiable and will serve to prove that the student is ready to undertake the heavy memorization element of the class. As this class is only open to Western Dominican Province student brothers it will be held at St. Albert’s with social distancing. Required Books and Materials William R.

  • Understanding When to Kneel, Sit and Stand at a Traditional Latin Mass
    UNDERSTANDING WHEN TO KNEEL, SIT AND STAND AT A TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS __________________________ A Short Essay on Mass Postures __________________________ by Richard Friend I. Introduction A Catholic assisting at a Traditional Latin Mass for the first time will most likely experience bewilderment and confusion as to when to kneel, sit and stand, for the postures that people observe at Traditional Latin Masses are so different from what he is accustomed to. To understand what people should really be doing at Mass is not always determinable from what people remember or from what people are presently doing. What is needed is an understanding of the nature of the liturgy itself, and then to act accordingly. When I began assisting at Traditional Latin Masses for the first time as an adult, I remember being utterly confused with Mass postures. People followed one order of postures for Low Mass, and a different one for Sung Mass. I recall my oldest son, then a small boy, being thoroughly amused with the frequent changes in people’s postures during Sung Mass, when we would go in rather short order from standing for the entrance procession, kneeling for the preparatory prayers, standing for the Gloria, sitting when the priest sat, rising again when he rose, sitting for the epistle, gradual, alleluia, standing for the Gospel, sitting for the epistle in English, rising for the Gospel in English, sitting for the sermon, rising for the Credo, genuflecting together with the priest, sitting when the priest sat while the choir sang the Credo, kneeling when the choir reached Et incarnatus est etc.

  • Pain, Identity, and Emotional Communities in Nineteenth-Century English Convent Culture Carmen M
    ‘Why, would you have me live upon a gridiron?’: Pain, Identity, and Emotional Communities in Nineteenth-Century English Convent Culture Carmen M. Mangion I Introduction Polemicist and social critic Ivan Illich has outlined the importance of culture in furnishing means of experiencing, expressing, and understanding pain: ‘Precisely because culture provides a mode of organizing this experience, it provides an important condition for health care: it allows individuals to deal with their own pain.’1 The history of pain, approached through phenomenology (the lived experience of pain focused on subjectivity) and the various rhetorics of pain (narratives, rituals, symbols, etc.), can bring into sharp relief, as Illich has inferred, how pain is culturally derived and embedded in a society’s values and norms. Thus, the context of pain is critical as society and culture infuses it with a multiplicity of meanings. This essay explores nineteenth-century Catholic interpretations of pain, utilizing biography to examine how and why corporeal pain functioned as a means of both reinforcing Catholic beliefs in the utility of pain and of coping with pain. This does not necessarily imply that bodily pain was encouraged, enthusiastically welcomed, or self-inflicted. This article explores unwanted pain; not the self-inflicted pain of mortification or the violent pain of martyrdom that are often featured in medieval or early modern histories of pain. It will examine this unwanted pain in a defined space, the convent, and through a particular source, the biography of Margaret Hallahan (1803– 1868), founder of the Dominican Sisters of St Catherine of Siena, written by the future prioress, convert Augusta Theodosia Drane (1823–1894; in religion, Mother Francis Raphael) in 1869.

No need to specify which Mass: there was only one, the Mass that has been handed down through the centuries, by faithful Bishops to their successors, the priests whom they themselves ordained to say it. When I was about 12 years old, I remember walking, with my younger sister and her friend, along a railroad track into the next town to attend Mass on the first Friday of the month. My parents had sent me to supervise the group at a summer camp, and there was no Church in the area. So three of us set out early in the morning on a beautiful summer day to go to Mass and receive Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. The area was new to us, we probably did not walk fast enough - for whatever reason - Mass was just finishing as we arrived.
