Tenth Bishop of Manchester Reverend Jason Y. Jalbert Cathedral Rector and Vicar General Director of the Office for Worship Mr. Eric J. Bermani, DMin Diocesan & Cathedral Director of Music/Organist 2 Music at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph 2020-2021 Welcome to a new season of sacred music at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph. Music has always played an important role in the life of this Cathedral parish. Included in this booklet is a listing of music to be sung by assembly, cantors and the Cathedral Choir, highlighting each Sunday, feast or liturgical season. “Sing to the Lord a new song: sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, and bless his Name: proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.” Psalm 96:1-2 “Music for the liturgy must be carefully chosen and prepared.” Sing to the Lord (Music in Divine Worship) Article 122 “The treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care. Choirs must be diligently developed, especially in cathedral churches.” Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, Article 114 “There is a profound and mysterious relationship between music and hope, between song and eternal life.” Pope Benedict XVI, 25 April 2008 “All other things being equal, Gregorian chant holds pride of place because it is proper to the Roman Liturgy. Other types of sacred music, in particular polyphony, are in no way excluded, provided that they correspond to the spirit of the liturgical action and that they foster the participation of the faithful.” General Instruction of the Roman Missal (Third Typical Edition), 2002 3 Cathedral of Saint Joseph Manchester, New Hampshire 2020 – 2021 Sacred and Liturgical Music Program Hymnlist…………………………………………………………. p. 5 Introits and Antiphons…………………………………………… p. 74 Ordinaries and Propers in Use at the Cathedral…………………..p. 94 Decree: In Time of COVID…………………………….………..p. 95 Cathedral Music Ministry Cathedral Cantors Cathedral Parish Choir Cathedral Schola Ensemble Ex-Cathedra Cathedral Chamber Singers Diocesan Festival Chorus Diocesan Children’s Choral Program: SNSC Saint Anthony Men’s Schola Cathedral Brass Ensemble & Timpani Cathedral Organ Scholar Associate Organist Diocesan and Cathedral Director of Music/Organist 4 Cathedral of Saint Joseph, Manchester, New Hampshire Tentative Music Selections for Weekend Liturgies, Feast Days and Diocesan Liturgies Sunday 6 September 2020 – Sunday 26 September 2021 Liturgical Year A-B | I The hymns, ritual and liturgical music on the hymnlist are drawn from the following sources: - HPSC (Hymns, Psalm & Spiritual Canticles) – BACE Publishing - WIV (Worship IV); WIII (Worship III); WLH (Worship Liturgy of the Hours), RS (Ritual Song), GC (Gather Comprehensive), HH (Hymnal of the Hours) – GIA Publications - AH (Adoremus Hymnal) – Ignatius Press - CH (Collegeville Hymnal), BFW (By Flowing Waters) – Liturgical Press - TM (Today’s Missal), MI (Music Issue), BB (Breaking Bread), JS (Journey Songs), LTC (Laus Tibi Christie), Entrance and Communion Antiphons (Columba Kelly, OSB) – OCP Publications - PMB (People’s Mass Book) – WLP/JS Paulch - GR (Gradulae Romanum) - LU (Liber Usualis) - LCM (Lumen Christi Missal), SEP (Simple English Propers), Adam Bartlett - Vatican II Hymnal (Corpus Christi Watershed) 10:30 a.m. Pontifical Mass: Introit, Congregational Refrain and Psalm verses replace the Processional Hymn. Act of Penitence (in the various forms) and Gloria are always sung. Communion Antiphon, Congregational Refrain and Psalm verses replace the Communion Chant. At the time of the writing and publication of this annual hymnlist we are still in the midst of the global COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, full choral ensembles are not in session, assembly singing is not encouraged, large gatherings limited and the distribution of worship aids prohibited. Routine and everyday life came to an abrupt halt throughout the entirety of the world in the first few months of 2020. Effecting every aspect of communal, personal and commercial life here in the United States and around the globe, churches were forced to close and many still remain so today. [As a side note, this greatly affected Holy Week of 2020. The Vatican decree: “In Time of COVID” is included in the appendix]. As of yet, our calendars remain to be codified because the future remains very uncertain. All concerts have been canceled this coming year including the annual performance of Messiah and Lessons and Carols. Hopefully the situation improves in 2021. Taking this into account, the hymnlist is extremely tentative in nature and meant to serve as a loose reference to help guide the Cathedral music ministry forward. 5 ORDINARY TIME Due to COVID-19, assembly singing is not being encouraged. Although hymns are listed, we will be using the Introit and Communion Antiphon along with the congregational refrain and psalm verses. Instrumental music will serve during the Offertory and in place of a Recessional Hymn. We will also switch-out the ordinaries for lesser known settings. Admittedly, this is not optimal and contrary to what we typically strive to achieve. However, using less familiar music will enable us to maintain a certain style of liturgy while minimizing assembly participation. This move is temporary. We will resort to normal praxis when the current health situation has abated. Our Lady, Comforter of the Afflicted, pray for us.
