    ST MARY’S CATHEDRAL Solemn Mass with Induction of Choristers Fifth Sunday of the Year 7 February 2021 10.30am WELCOME to St Mary’s Cathedral which stands in the centre of Sydney as a Christian statement of grace and beauty. Generations of artists have bequeathed to it their magnificent gifts in stone and glass, designing a unique space of solace and prayer within this vibrant city. This Cathedral represents the spiritual origins of the Catholic Church in Australia. It is one of Sydney’s most treasured historic buildings and one of the finest examples of English-style gothic churches in the world. William Wilkinson Wardell, the 19th century architect, dreamed of a gothic structure shaped from the local yellow-block sandstone on which this city is built. The building was finally completed 100 years after the architect’s death. The Cathedral is dedicated to Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, Help of Christians. THE CATHEDRAL CHOIR St Mary’s Cathedral Choir is the oldest musical institution in Australia. In 1818 a group of choristers was formed to sing Vespers before the Blessed Sacrament in the Dempsey household, the centre of Catholic worship in the penal colony. After the establishment of St Mary’s Cathedral in 1833 the successors of these choristers formed the permanent Cathedral Choir. In faithfulness to the Benedictine English tradition from which the Cathedral’s founders came, the Choir is formed of men and boys, preserving the historical character of Catholic liturgical and musical heritage. St Mary’s is the only Catholic Cathedral in Australia to have an on-site Choir School where the twenty-four boy choristers are educated.

Phillips-Robins: SINGING FOR DANTE Bibliotheca Dantesca, 1 (2018): 127-145 SINGING FOR DANTE IN ‘PURGATORIO’ 30–31 HELENA PHILLIPS-ROBINS, University of Cambridge This essay investigates types of sociality enacted through song, as depicted in Dante’s Earthly Paradise. The first section of the essay argues that the singing of Psalm 30 (In te, Domine, speravi) in Purgatorio 30 is a way of enacting a particular mode of compassion. In the second section of the essay I argue that Dante’s depiction of Psalm 30—together with his depiction of the antiphon sung in Purgatorio 31, the Asperges me—invites a devotional response from the reader. The sociality of prayer can involve not only the characters, but also the readers of the Commedia. I investigate the liturgical context in which Dante and medieval readers would have known and lived the Asperges me. I argue that here, at the end of the narrative of his penitential journey, Dante, with this antiphon, invites the reader to her own performance of penance.
