How Is S.A.L.'S Mass Music Selected? How Is S.A.L.’s Mass Music Selected? The Approach: The Foundation Undergirding the Selection Process The texts for every single Mass are already prescribed, written out, pre-determined. This includes the texts for the songs at the Entrance, Psalm, Offertory, and Communion. These texts are called the propers, because they change by week, just as the readings do. The prescribed propers texts are psalms with their antiphons. The propers are integral to the structure of the liturgy and have been sung since the earliest centuries. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal 2011 (GIRM) gives 4 specific instructions about which texts to use at the Entrance, Offertory, and Communion processions. Below is the instruction for the Entrance (#48). The same instruction is repeated later in the GIRM under #74 and #87: In the Dioceses of the United States of America, there are four options for the Entrance Chant*: (1) the antiphon from the Missal or the antiphon with its Psalm from the Graduale Romanum, as set to music there or in another setting; (2) the antiphon and Psalm of the Graduale Simplex for the liturgical time; (3) a chant from another collection of Psalms and antiphons, approved by the Conference of Bishops or the Diocesan Bishop, including Psalms arranged in responsorial or metrical forms; (4) another liturgical chant that is suited to the sacred action, the day, or the time of year, similarly approved by the Conference of Bishops or the Diocesan Bishop. *Although plainchant is given pride of place in the Roman Catholic liturgy, “chant” in this context refers to both non-metricized and metricized forms of singing From these instructions we can see that: 1. Text is paramount 2. The propers (specific psalms) are requested 3 out of 4 times 3. Non-propers texts are requested to be in line with the Mass’s action, readings, or at least the liturgical season 4. The sung texts hold a specific function within the liturgy- they are not add-ons 5. The Catholic liturgy is not a structure into which we plug-n-play some music we like. We need to be very intentional about the texts with which we choose for Mass. Bishop Sample (now Archbishop Sample) summed up this point well in his Pastoral Letter on Sacred Music in the Divine Worship Rejoice in the Lord Always: (all bold excerpts are my own emphasis): “…This understanding would preclude the common notion that we take the Mass and simply “tack on” four songs (the opening hymn, offertory hymn, communion hymn and recessional hymn), along with the sung ordinary of the Mass (Gloria, Sanctus, etc…). We must come to see that, since sacred music is integral to the Mass, the role of sacred music is to help us sing and pray the texts of the Mass itself, not just ornament it.” Later in that same letter he states: (1.f.1) “The liturgical books (the Missal, Graduale and Lectionary) envision that, as a rule, we sing the Mass at Mass, rather than sing songs during Mass. To truly sing the Mass as described *below (*in his letter) is the ideal and should be an overall priority for parish worship.” The Process: 1. Fill in my music selection sheet with the following: - All parts of the weekend/special Mass which need music - The readings for the day - Brief commentary on the readings - Song suggestions from three online Catholic sources 2. Read through all the Readings: a. What are the singular and connecting themes? b. Do any phrases point specifically to a hymn text we know? c. Research questions about the texts for further understanding if necessary 3. Compare 5-7 online and offline music suggestion lists, noting which songs are suggested most often 4. Read through the texts of the most suggested songs 5. Question the text: a. Is it the propers set to music? b. If it is a metrical setting of a psalm: i. How close to a formal equivalence translation is the text? ii. Does the editor insert his own words and ideas within the setting, thus changing the meaning or focus? c. Does the text support the lessons for this Mass? d. Does the text define, reflect, or catechize for the Catholic faith? e. Is God, Christ, or the Holy Spirit the center? f. If this text were spoken or sung outside the liturgy, would it undoubtedly point those hearing it towards the Catholic faith? 6. Choose the texts (if not the propers) which most closely align with the themes for the day 7. Question the music to which the texts are set: a. Do we know these tunes? i. Compare each song to lists of the music known to St. Alphonsus parishioners; lists extend back to 2000. b. If we know the tune, keep the song as a possibility for Mass c. If we don’t know the tune: i. Is this a strong text I’d like us to continue using? 1. If no, cross it off the list for that week 2. If yes: a. Is it worth learning a new tune for it? b. How much ‘new’ have we learned lately? i. Is it too soon to learn something new? ii. Is now a good time to learn something new? iii. Will I be able to repeat it next week or in the near future? c. Is the song simple or challenging? d. Does the range work for us? e. Do have other texts set to the same tune that will reinforce the tune memory? 8. I choose to teach a new song if I think it useful to our repertoire liturgically and musically, we will use it in the future, and ‘now’ is a good time. 9. Each new song is rehearsed with the congregation before the Mass at which it is sung. Typically I will repeat it a week later, or in close proximity to the weekend it was learned. 10. While the psalm settings and the Mass Ordinary (Kyrie / Gloria / Sanctus / Agnus Dei) stay consistent throughout each weekend Mass, I typically choose different styles of the remaining music for our different Masses, although text is still the primary determining selection factor: - 5:30p Mass: uses more of the 70’s 80’s folk music, with some traditional if it is known, or if I’m teaching a new song. - 8a and 10:30a Masses: on purpose use more traditional music, especially since the 10:30a is our Principal Mass - 5:00p Mass: will continue to expand into more contemporary music usage 11. Sources for the texts and music we use at St. Alphonsus hail from Catholic resources: - Hymns/Songs – the 1994 Gather Comprehensive hymnal in our pew racks (25 years!) - Mass settings – revised to use the prescribed Formal Equivalence translations (Roman Missal 2011) - Psalms – settings by Psallite (Collegeville Composers Group), Guimont, and Gelineau, using the official ICEL (International Commission on English in the Liturgy), Grail, or Revised Grail verse translations - Entrance and Communion antiphons – Psallite, St. Meinrad 12. What to do when asked to sing music new to you: a. Please accept this as an opportunity to sing your faith through a different tune: the text and music were deliberately chosen as part of that day’s propers, or as texts which support the lessons of the day or the themes of the liturgical season b. Please choose to open your hymnal: even if you cannot sing it right away, you can actively participate in Mass by reading the text c. Encourage others to do the same! And remember, ‘All music was once new!’ A. Lee Barlow, Director of Sacred Music 11 July 2019 .

  • Music at Mass by Fr. Gilles Mongeau, SJ, Contributing Editor, Living With
    Music at Mass By Fr. Gilles Mongeau, SJ, Contributing Editor, Living with Christ The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM) is the set of instructions that governs the celebration of the Eucharist. It was updated in 2001, as a result of reflection on the 40 years of experience since Vatican II, and came into force in Canada with the coming of the new translation of the missal. Perhaps one of the most interesting and least known contributions of the new GIRM is its reflection on the role of singing in the liturgy. It offers a genuine theology of music at mass, with insights into the role of the choir, the ministry of the cantor, and the meaning of various chants in the liturgy. The GIRM places the singing of the assembly at the very centre of its reflection. All musical choices are at the service of helping the assembly to sing. In this short article, I offer some commentary on the three major moments of singing and on the closing moments of the mass. The Entrance Chant When the people are gathered, and as the Priest enters with the Deacon and ministers, the Entrance Chant begins. Its purpose is to: 1. open the celebration, 2. foster the unity of those who have been gathered, 3. introduce their thoughts to the mystery of the liturgical time or festivity, and 4. accompany the procession of the Priest and ministers. This chant is sung 1. alternately by the choir and the people or 2. similarly by a cantor and the people, or 3.

  • MISSAE Versus ALIUS CANTUS APTUS
    View from Southwest. Cathedral (Notre Dame), Paris. Gothic. c. 1200-1245 THE CHANTS OF THE PROPRIUM MISSAE versus ALIUS CANTUS APTUS 1. What arrangement of the Mass chants emerges before the eyes of an unbiased read­ er of the Liturgy Constitution promulgated by the Second Vatican Council? If we dis­ regard what happened after the Synod, and concentrate our attention upon the text of Sacrosanctum Concilium, this is the picture we receive. The Mass is celebrated in most cases in Latin (Art. 36), although some parts (lections, bidding prayer: Art. 54) sometimes (when and where it seems useful) resound in the vernacular (Art. 36/2). The faithful are able to chant the responses, the acclamations and the Ordinary also in Latin (Art. 54, d. Kyriale Simplex). Gregorian chant has pride of place in liturgical singing (Art. 116). The chants of the Proper are sung by a choir or schola (Art. 114), from the Graduale Romanum in the great churches, and from the Graduale Simplex in the smaller ones (Art. 117); but the congregation, too, may join the Chant (Art. 114), singing psalms and antiphons (Art. 30). The chant is complemented by sacred polyphony taken from the heritage of sacred music, or from a repertory of new compositions. These take their texts chiefly from the Sacred Scriptures or the litur­ gical books (Art. 121), correspond at all points with the spirit of the liturgy (Art. 116) and are characterized by the hallmarks of a true ecclesiastical thinking (Art. 121) and by true art (Art. 112). Careful instruction has prepared the laity to take their part in liturgical singing, and so each part is sung by the very person concerned (Art.

  • Alleluias from the Graduale Simplex – P
    TRIPLE ALLELUIAS Pes In its Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, the Second Vatican Council (1962-1964) required that official sacred chant books for the Church be published with care: §117. The typical edition of the books of Gregorian chant is to be completed; and a more critical edition is to be prepared of those books already published since the restoration by St. Pius X. It is desirable also that an edition be prepared containing simpler melodies, for use in small churches. One edition containing simpler melodies was released as the Graduale Simplex in 1967. Since then, use of Simplex antiphons in the U.S. has been limited, but at least one scholar has written that the Simplex did exert a considerable effect on the Alleluia before the Gospel.1 Prior to the new Missal of 1970, the Alleluias were sizable melismatic chants. When usage of the Graduale Romanum declined, the Simplex approach of substituting a short, ªtripleº Alleluia was adopted widely as the new default. Use of the actual melodies was not. Whatever the faults of the overall approach of the Simplex, its Alleluias are good examples of modal melody. Some are somber, some haunting. They also have interesting rhythmic variety if one pays careful attention to groups of two and three. All the triple Alleluia melodies in the Simplex are shown below.

    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church A TREATISE Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Sacred Music © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer L. Seighman Washington, D.C. 2015 Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church Jennifer L. Seighman, D.M.A. Director: Leo Nestor, D.M.A. Choir schools have been an intrinsic part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. While the Holy See has instructed that such schools and training be diligently promoted, few programs exist, and even less is known about them. This paper provides much-needed research on Catholic choir school programs and the benefits they offer to the twenty-first-century Church, particularly in bringing the musico-liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council to fruition. Using a multi-case-study approach, I investigate the only known Catholic institutions in the United States currently employing a traditional choir school education of rigorous daily instruction in choir and sung liturgy: St. Paul’s Choir School (Cambridge, MA), The Madeleine Choir School (Salt Lake City, UT), and The Atonement Academy (San Antonio, TX). To formulate the framework for this study, a survey of related literature was made encompassing musico-liturgical directives of the Second Vatican Council, Church documents calling for chorister formation, papal writings, scholarly sources addressing sacred music within the Catholic Church, and various sets of education standards.
