EPISODE 13 – Music and the Mass (Part 2) 1. What distinguishes "sung dialogues" from the singing of hymnody? ◦ These are rather tough questions and not totally in line with the video or the summary. I had to look up the definition of “hymnody”. What I found in the Catholic encyclopedia was: ▪ Hymnody, taken from the Greek (hymnodia), means exactly "hymn song", but as the hymn-singer as well as the hymn-poet are included under (hymnodos), so we also include under hymnody the hymnal verse or religious lyric. Hymnology is the science of hymnody or the historico-philogical investigation and æsthetic estimation of hymns and hymn writers. ◦ From this definition I would say that hymnody are the bulk of the songs we sing from the hymn book at Mass. Songs from the tradition and our culture. Sung dialogues would be putting the prayers and responses of the people to music and song. The difference would then be that the sung dialogues are singing that which is an integral part of the Mass, while hymnody would be an expression of praise and worship by the people. The sung dialogues would be fixed in content but the music could vary. The hymnody would not be restricted and would seek to capture the love of the people for their God. 2. What is the difference between "singing the Mass" and "singing at Mass"? ◦ My answer is in my response in the last bullet of the first question. 3. Why does the Church give "the main place" to Gregorian Chant? ◦ Gregorian Chant is a simple and solemn way of praying. Instruments are not needed and the most basic chant can be learned by anyone. It is not “trendy” or “hip” in any way and so does not distract away from the sacred words being sung. Gregorian Chant focuses on the text and is really meant to highlight the beauty of the word itself. In that way, it is designed to point us all to the Word Himself, Jesus Christ (click here to learn more)..

The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I
The Musical Heritage of the Lutheran Church Volume I Edited by Theodore Hoelty-Nickel Valparaiso, Indiana The greatest contribution of the Lutheran Church to the culture of Western civilization lies in the field of music. Our Lutheran University is therefore particularly happy over the fact that, under the guidance of Professor Theodore Hoelty-Nickel, head of its Department of Music, it has been able to make a definite contribution to the advancement of musical taste in the Lutheran Church of America. The essays of this volume, originally presented at the Seminar in Church Music during the summer of 1944, are an encouraging evidence of the growing appreciation of our unique musical heritage. O. P.

Southern Black Gospel Music: Qualitative Look at Quartet Sound
LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SOUTHERN BLACK GOSPEL MUSIC: QUALITATIVE LOOK AT QUARTET SOUND DURING THE GOSPEL ‘BOOM’ PERIOD OF 1940-1960 A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY BY BEATRICE IRENE PATE LYNCHBURG, V.A. April 2014 1 Abstract The purpose of this work is to identify features of southern black gospel music, and to highlight what makes the music unique. One goal is to present information about black gospel music and distinguishing the different definitions of gospel through various ages of gospel music. A historical accounting for the gospel music is necessary, to distinguish how the different definitions of gospel are from other forms of gospel music during different ages of gospel. The distinctions are important for understanding gospel music and the ‘Southern’ gospel music distinction. The quartet sound was the most popular form of music during the Golden Age of Gospel, a period in which there was significant growth of public consumption of Black gospel music, which was an explosion of black gospel culture, hence the term ‘gospel boom.’ The gospel boom period was from 1940 to 1960, right after the Great Depression, a period that also included World War II, and right before the Civil Rights Movement became a nationwide movement. This work will evaluate the quartet sound during the 1940’s, 50’s, and 60’s, which will provide a different definition for gospel music during that era. Using five black southern gospel quartets—The Dixie Hummingbirds, The Fairfield Four, The Golden Gate Quartet, The Soul Stirrers, and The Swan Silvertones—to define what southern black gospel music is, its components, and to identify important cultural elements of the music.

In1987 further research was done on the question of tune authorship and musical style; the material was revised several times in the years that followed. As the 500th anniversary of the Reformation approached, it was brought into its present form. An unexpected insight came from examining the tunes associated with the Luther’s hymn texts: Luther employed several types (styles) of melody. Viewed from later centuries it is easy to lump all his hymn tunes in one category and label them “medieval” hymns. Over the centuries scholars have studied many questions about each melody, especially its origin: did it derive from an existing Gregorian melody or from a preexisting hymn tune or folk song? In studying Luther’s tunes it became clear that he chose melody structures and styles associated with different music-making occasions and groups in society.

A Sociological Analysis of Christian Contemporary Music and Aural Piety
“FAITH COMES BY HEARING”: A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CHRISTIAN CONTEMPORARY MUSIC AND AURAL PIETY __________________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board __________________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Courtney Sorrell Tepera August 2017 Examining Committee Members: Lucy Bregman, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion David Harrington Watt, TU Department of History Dustin Kidd, External Member, TU Department of Sociology © Copyright 2017 by Courtney Suzanne Sorrell Tepera ____________________________ All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT Over the past fifty years, Christian contemporary music has joined hymnody and psalmody as a major form of evangelical liturgical and devotional song. While the production and content of this genre have been explored by scholars, few studies have attended to the devotional use of the genre and its role in shaping the religious lives of American evangelicals. This project draws from several sets of data to address this matter: analysis of church-created worship music albums, listener testimonials on Christian radio websites, and focus group interviews of laity and clergy at four South Carolina churches. The data revealed that music is significant to their religious lives outside of church as a means of encountering God, managing emotions, and displaying spiritual capital. Inside churches, the music is used to create a sense of corporate identity that reinforces social bonds within the community and attracts newcomers. Drawing on the methodological framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice and his work on social distinction, I argue that American evangelicals who listen to Christian contemporary music are engaged in aural piety, a set of practices, attitudes, and ideas invested in music that structure and evoke the experience of the sacred.

H. Gabriel Foreword A certain Scythian* Abaris. was a priest of ApoIIo. So faithfully and well did he serve in the temple that he was given a golden arrow by the god. Among other attributes, this arrow would carry the Philosopher whither he wished and rendered its rider invisible. A fable, of course. But had we that arrow today what Pleasures we might not enjoy! And not the least of these would be the privi- lege of seeing and knowing the great men and women of our time. Books on travel enable us to vicariously enjoy the sights that greeted the eyes of the writers; Books of biography give us glimpses of the famous; both are modern arrows of Abaris. Of the present volume, as a companion to "Gospel Songs and Their Writers/* the author may now give it as his parting benedic- tion, this motto from Chaucer: "O little booke. though art so unconning. How darst thou put thyself in prees fordrede?"

Inasmuch as the popularity and degree of excellence of such songs and hymns lies rather in the coalescence of both words and music than in the music solely, some acknowl- edgment of the genius of our sacred poets is imperative.
