Music Ministry Year-Round

Ken Canedo ummertime, and the livin’ is easy…” So goes the old Gershwin song. After “Sa rather busy spring season that includes Holy Week, Easter, first Com- munions, confirmations, graduations, Pentecost, and other parish events, no one can blame pastoral musicians and choirs for wanting to take a break. School’s out! Vacation beckons!

But how long should the break be? I have been involved in some parishes where music ministry adjourns for the whole summer. Really? Three months without music in the liturgies? Twelve Sundays of minimal participation and lowered ex- pectations? The message in this approach is to render music as mere icing on the cake, a fancy liturgical frill that is easily dispensed with and, therefore, not import- Ken Canedo, music development ant. It’s a harking back to the pre–Vatican II designations of High Mass (a liturgy specialist at OCP, serves as a in which everything is sung) and Low Mass (a liturgy in which there is no music pastoral musician at Holy Trinity at all). It is a disservice to the current understanding that “This common, sung ex- Catholic Church in Beaverton, pression of faith within liturgical celebrations strengthens our faith when it grows Oregon. He hosts the popular weak and draws us into the divinely inspired voice of the Church at prayer” (Sing Liturgy Podcast (spiritandsong.com/ to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship [STL] 5). podcasts) and wrote Keep the Fire Burning (ocp.org/6152), a history of A whole summer of liturgy without music also undermines the ministerial role of contemporary Catholic music in the the assembly.

But the external participation that music so uniquely embodies is glaringly missing since “Singing is one of the primary ways that the assembly of the faithful participates actively in the Liturgy” (STL 26).

Please understand that I am in no way advocating that pastoral musicians not take a well-deserved break. Our priests go on vacation. But they take care to ensure the parish Sunday liturgy continues by arranging substitute presiders during their ab- sence. Besides, when music ministry adjourns for the summer, I have noticed that many choir members are sitting in the pews at Sunday Mass anyway.

One creative approach that we use at my parish was developed by Mark Nieves, our director of music ministry. Our choirs continue to sing at their assigned liturgies throughout the summer months, but we cancel weekly choir rehearsals until Sep- tember. This means that we have to plan out the music for the whole summer well in
