J., The Liturgy of The Mass Wagner GdH-Peter Wagner, Geschichte der Messe C.-Composer Ed.-Editor introduction The terra Mass has been the subject of scholarly debate, and no one appears to know for certain what the actual meaning of the word was. The conclusion that a majority of scholars have reached is that of the author of the definition of the term in Webster's New International Dictionary. A pertinent excerpt reads as follows: The eucharistic rite of the Latin church; the sequence of prayers and ceremonies constituting the commemorative sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Christ under the appearances of bread and wine...^ The author of the definition then lists the order of the Mas3 , both Ordinary and Proper. There is a second definition of Hass vihich reads as follows: The setting of certain portions of the Mass con­ sidered as a musical composition which, usually, includes the Kyrie, Gloria (including the Gratias agimus, Qui tollis, Quoniam, Cum Sancto Spiritu), Credo (including the Et incarnatU3, Crucifixus, Et resurrexit), Sanctus (with Hosanna) Bene- dictus (also witli Hosanna), and the Agnus' l)ei...2 The Oxford English Dictionary gives the following data concerning the ecclesiastical meaning and use of the term: 1 Webster's Hew International Dictionary, (Second ed.) Springfield MassachusettsV Hcrriam-Smith, 19$7) p.l^lO. 2 Ibid. 1 2 It is now generally agreed that the L fatinj missa is a verbal substantive...from L{atiriJ mittere (pa, pple.) missus to send, send away, dismiss,... In the early centuries it had the general sense of 'religious service,'...although in an eminent sense, it always denoted the Eucharist. The origin of the liturgical application has been much disputed. Isidore (d. 6 3 6 ) conjectured that the original reference was to the dismissal of the catechumens which was the preliminary to the eucharistic service. This explanation is not favoured by mo d e m scholars who consider the wider sense 'religious service* is more likely than the narrower sense to be the original. Seme think that missa at first denoted the solemn dismissoiy formula at' the end of the service, Ite, missa est, and hence came to be applied to the service-it­ self. Others...have suggested, on confessedly slender and doubtful evidence, that missa in sec­ ular use had some such sense as 'commission,1 * official duty,* and was therefore adopted as the rendering of Greek Leitourgia (See LITURGX), which had primarily a similar meaning, but in ecclesiastical language was used for 'religious service* and specifically for the Eucharist. Several other theories have been proposed, but none of them has gained wide acceptance among scholar s. 3 The definition as applied to music is virtually the same; A musical setting of those parts of the Mass which are usually sung, viz. the Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Benedictus, and Agnus.i; This paper will not deal with special Hasses such as that which is performed on Holy Saturday or the Mass for the Dead, but will con­ cern itself with the usual High Mass as done in seasons when all five parts of •the Ordinary are performed. 3 "Mass" in The Oxford English Dictionary VI, (Oxfords Clarendon Press, 1233) p.20'£. 1{ Ibid., p. 206. CmPTER I THE ORIGINS CF THE PARTS OF THE ORDIHftRY OF THE KfcSS There seem to have been two different opinions of tho origin of the Kyrie eleison. The one says that the Kyrie is a vestige of the period when the Mass was celebrated in Rome using the Greek language. The Latin language supplanted it around 300 A. D. This is evidently a viewpoint that Peter Wagner has espoused in his book Geschichte der Hosse^-when he discusses the Kyrie. The other opinion is that the Kyrie is of Eastern origin and cites as an authority the written account of the pilgrim Etheria, or Aetheria, dated about 390. ...The Gallician pilgrim lady Aetheria tells us about 390 how at Jerusalom at the end of Vespers one of the deacons read a list of petitions and as he spoke each c£ the names, a crowd of boys stood and answered each time Kyrie eleison... Aetheria gives us the transcription eleison instead of the eleeson we might have e x p e c t e d . 2 There is further documentation from Antioch: From Antioch at about the very same time there comes to us...the explicit rubric..."At each of these petitions which the deacon pronounces, the people shall say Kyrie eloson (Greek lettering) especially the children73 1 Peter Wagner, Geschichte der Hesse I (Leipzig: Broitkopf & Ilaertel, 1913), 6. 2 Josef Jungmann, The Hass of the Raman Rite, translated by Francis Brunner, 1 (i.ew York: Rcnziger Bros., c195£.), 33lw 3 Ibid. 3 Jungmann rejects the first proposition (See Jungmann, The Early Liturgy pp. 293)* The Kyrie eleison, then originated as a response to petitions to Almighty God. Further elucidation and corroboration is to be found in the following citation: The deacon announced the intention briefly and succinctly, and the congregation expressed the peti­ tion with their Kyrie Eleison. Tlius was built up a popular form of prayer which is still familiar to us under the title of a Litany.... Pope Gelasius I (d. 1*96) introduced the Litany into the Fore-Hass to replace the older prayors of petition inserting it at the beginning of the service of. the Word of God, rather than in the former place of the peti­ tions at the beginning of the Sacrifice...* On only two days of the year was the whole Litany retained: on Holv Saturday and on the Saturday before Whit- Sunday, h Tho Kyrie was also used in the Hozarabic rite. The manner of per­ formance was to have three boys sing Kyrie Eleison and then to havo the choir repeat it.£ An example follows: .-!«-!-son (ii}> Orftft k Pius Parsch, The Liturgy of the Hass, 3rd edition, translated and adapted by H.~E7 Wins tone, (London and St. Louis: Herder, ^1951), P* 79• 5 Higini Angles, "Latin Chant before St. Gregory" in New Oxford History of Wusic, revised edition, edited by* bom Anselm Hughes, '(London: Oxford University Press, 91955), 76. » . « » Ij Ckri- ste fl05f<‘i| GflA4-$te ©e "Am rfe c0&-[ii Hp*u} Note the simplicity and narrow range. It is from post-Gregorlan times if Wagner is correct in this statement. The insertion of the Christe eleison is ono of the changes of Pope Gregory Ij the repeat of the Kyrie eleison after the Christe, then, makes possiblo an aesthetically effective structure as a relation to the Holy Trinity. As were the psalmodic pieces of the Mass, the singing of tho Kyrie eleison was originally adapted in its expansion to the necessity of liturgical practice.

  • 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.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • The Penitential Rite & Kyrie
    The Mass In Slow Motion Volumes — 7 and 8 The Penitential Rite & The Kyrie The Mass In Slow Motion is a series on the Mass explaining the meaning and history of what we do each Sunday. This series of flyers is an attempt to add insight and understanding to our celebration of the Sacred Liturgy. You are also invited to learn more by attending Sunday School classes for adults which take place in the school cafeteria each Sunday from 9:45 am. to 10:45 am. This series will follow the Mass in order. The Penitential Rite in general—Let us recall that we have just acknowledged and celebrated the presence of Christ among us. First we welcomed him as he walked the aisle of our Church, represented by the Priest Celebrant. The altar, another sign and symbol of Christ was then reverenced. Coming to the chair, a symbol of a share in the teaching and governing authority of Christ, the priest then announced the presence of Christ among us in the liturgical greeting. Now, in the Bible, whenever there was a direct experience of God, there was almost always an experience of unworthiness, and even a falling to the ground! Isaiah lamented his sinfulness and needed to be reassured by the angel (Is 6:5). Ezekiel fell to his face before God (Ez. 2:1). Daniel experienced anguish and terror (Dan 7:15). Job was silenced before God and repented (42:6); John the Apostle fell to his face before the glorified and ascended Jesus (Rev 1:17). Further, the Book of Hebrews says that we must strive for the holiness without which none shall see the Lord (Heb.

Lamb of God, 1 Pet 1.19; Rev 5.6 you take away the sins of the world, 1 Jn 2.2 have mercy on us Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace. John 14.27; 20.26 Immediately after the Pax, the priest begins the Fraction, i.e. breaking the Host, which shows the death of Jesus, whose body was broken for us in the Sacrifice of the Cross (although not one of His bones was broken, cf. John 19.36). The priest takes a small particle of the Host and adds it to the Precious Blood in the chalice. This act, called the ‘commingling’, signifies the Resurrection, the coming together again of Christ’s Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity (even in death His Divinity remained united to all three preceding, which are part of His humanity). The Agnus Dei is a chant which accompanies the Fraction. Everyone says or sings it, using the words of St John the Baptist to point out Jesus as the Messiah. In the Eastern churches the sacrificial gifts are called “the Lamb”. It is the sacrificial nature of the Eucharist that moves us to call Jesus ‘Lamb of God’ at this point of the Mass, cf. “I saw a Lamb standing, as it were slain” (Rev 5.6).

Francis Lerow, Bishop Ordinary Missions and Decisions, Planning and Money For many of our parishes, renewal tends to be an ongoing affair. We think very hard about our home parish. All of us want our church to have impact on the community and our community to have greater access to worship and the Traditional Anglican way. We depend on our vestries to drive the wagon that ensures that proper planning and resources are available to support the annual plan established at the Annual Parish Meetings. The problem with planning is that it quickly can lose the interest of the members of the parish. It is easy to fall back into our old ways, thinking that the Sunday Worship Service is all we need to bring them to Christ and eventually membership in the Church. Or if we have a young electrifying priest that will lead the way all will be well. It would be nice if it was that easy. But, we all know it is not. So what does it take? What kind of investment of time and resources does it take to really make things happen? What will cause the kind of renewal for which we all hope and pray? The business metric used to determine the effort and cost to sell a particular item of merchandise, as a rule of thumb, is to measure how many times their product gets the attention of a potential buyer.

  • ETHEL MARY SMYTH DBE, Mus.Doc, D.Litt. a MUSICAL
    ETHEL MARY SMYTH DBE, Mus.Doc, D.Litt. A MUSICAL TIMELINE compiled by Lewis Orchard Early days & adolescence in Frimley 1858 Born 22 April at 5 Lower Seymour Street (now part of Wigmore Street), Marylebone, London; daughter of Lieutenant Colonel (then) John Hall Smyth of the Bengal Artillery and Emma (Nina) Smyth. Ethel liked to claim that she was born on St. George's Day 23 April but her birth certificate clearly states 22 April. Baptised at St. Marylebone parish church on 28 May, 1858. On return of father from India the family took up residence at Sidcup Place, Sidcup, Kent where she spent her early years up to age 9. Mostly educated by a series of governesses 1867 When father promoted to an artillery command at Aldershot the family moved to a large house 'Frimhurst' at Frimley Green, Surrey, which later he purchased. Sang duets with Mary at various functions and displayed early interest in music. 1870 'When I was 12 a new victim (governess) arrived who had studied music at the Leipzig Conservatorium'. This was Marie Louise Schultz of Stettin, Pomerania, Germany (now Szezecin, Poland) who encouraged her interest in music and introduced her to the works of the major (German) composers, notably Beethoven.. Later Ethel met Alexander Ewing (also in the army at Aldershot in the Army Service Corps). Ethel became acquainted with him through Mrs Ewing who was a friend of her mother. Ewing was musically well educated and was impressed by Ethel's piano playing and compositions. He encouraged her in her musical ambitions. He taught her harmony and introduced her to the works of Brahms, List, Wagner and Berlioz and gave her a copy of Berlioz's 'Treatise on Orchestration'.
