The logic of this thesis is twofold, based firstly on the cultural centrality of the theology and practice of the eucharist in early modern England, and secondly on the particular engagement of poets within that social and intellectual context. My study applies this conceptual relationship, what I call “eucharistic poetics,” to English religious and

  • Lauda Sion Salvatorem – Editor’S Notes
    Lauda Sion Salvatorem – Editor’s Notes "Lauda Sion Salvatorem" is a sequence prescribed for the Roman Catholic Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi. The original poem was written by St. Thomas Aquinas around 1264, at the request of Pope Urban IV. The Feast of Corpus Christi (Latin for "Body of Christ") is a Catholic liturgical solemnity celebrating the real presence of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the elements of the Eucharist—known as transubstantiation. The feast is liturgically celebrated on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday, which typically falls in mid-June. Hilarión Eslava set this Gregorian chant into a lavish orchestral setting, including two Baritone solos. He also included an organ reduction for use in lieu of the orchestral accompaniment. For purposes of making this a little more accessible to amateur choirs, I chose to also include a poetic English translation in the score, which was not provided in Eslava’s original work. LATIN LYRICS: Lauda Sion Salvatorem, lauda ducem et pastorem, in hymnis et canticis. Quantum potes, tantum aude: quia maior omni laude, nec laudare sufficis. Laudis thema specialis, panis vivus et vitalis hodie proponitur. Quem in sacrae mensa cenae, turbae fratrum duodenae datum non ambigitur. Sit laus plena, sit sonora, sit iucunda, sit decora mentis iubilatio. Dogma datur christianis, quod in carnem transit panis, et vinum in sanguinem. Quod non capis, quod non vides, animosa firmat fides, praeter rerum ordinem. Caro cibus, sanguis potus: manet tamen Christus totus sub utraque specie. Sumit unus, sumunt mille: quantum isti, tantum ille: nec sumptus consumitur.

THOMAS AQUINAS' SUMMA AND HYMN Name: Dobrozsi, Ambrose Tyler University of Dayton Advisor: Dr. Dennis M. Doyle This thesis discusses the Eucharistic theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, focusing on the subject of Christ's true presence, within both the Summa Theologiae and four hymns which Aquinas composed for the feast of Corpus Christi. First, a historical survey is used to locate Aquinas within the history of the discussion of Christ's presence. Then, a separate theological analysis of St. Thomas' theology of Christ's presence first within the Summa and then within the hymns. Finally, the theological content of both hymns and theology are used to deepen the understanding of each, and build toward a Eucharistic theology drawing from both sources. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My first and primary thanks go to Dr.

  • Hymns for Corpus Christi
    Hymns for Corpus Christi Introduction When Pope Urban IV instituted the feast of Corpus Christi in 1264 for the universal Church he commissioned St Thomas Aquinas to compose the texts for Mass and the Office. These included the hymns for the various hours of the Divine Office which are still sung to this day. One of the characteristics of all the hymns is that two verses, generally the last two, have been sung indepently of the whole text. For example, the last two verses of the hymn for Evening Prayer (Pange lingua) are familiar in their own right — Tantum ergo Sacramentum. In this document it has been indicated in the title for the Hymns. As well as St Thomas Aquinas’ original Latin texts English translations have also been provided. Where possible, two have been included. The first from one of the great translators of hymns in the 19th century; the second from James Quinn sj, who probably made the most important contribution to Catholic hymnody in these islands in the latter half of the 20th century. It is his translations which are used in the current Divine Office. Recently a collected edition of his hymns, Hymns for all seasons edited by Paul Inwood. has been published by Oregon Catholic Press (2017). A couple of additional texts have been included. Adoro te devote though not written for the Office of Corpus Christi it is understood originally to have been a private devotion of St Thomas Aquinas. O sacrum convivium is the Magnificat antiphon for Evening Prayer II and as well as an eloquent expression of the theology of the feast it is a text which has been set by many composers.
