If anything, that feeling is now stronger. There had been a suggestion that despite the Pope’s fine vision for the Church, he lacked ‘generals’ on the ground to support him in what needed to be done. Now however, it is evident that he has been calmly appointing carefully chosen prelates to key positions, men he knows and trusts after his many years in the Vatican. In Rome all seems positive – even though not everyone will end up with all that they might hope for! When we turn to our own country, the contrast is inescapable. In the matter of changes affecting the Holy Days of Obligation, our Bishops’ Conference has drawn upon itself an unprecedented storm of criticism, reflected even in The Tablet and confirmed in its opinion poll.

  • Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church
    THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church A TREATISE Submitted to the Faculty of the Benjamin T. Rome School of Music Of The Catholic University of America In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in Sacred Music © All Rights Reserved By Jennifer L. Seighman Washington, D.C. 2015 Catholic Choir School Models in the United States: Reinvigorating the Musico-Liturgical Life of the Church Jennifer L. Seighman, D.M.A. Director: Leo Nestor, D.M.A. Choir schools have been an intrinsic part of the Catholic Church since the fourth century. While the Holy See has instructed that such schools and training be diligently promoted, few programs exist, and even less is known about them. This paper provides much-needed research on Catholic choir school programs and the benefits they offer to the twenty-first-century Church, particularly in bringing the musico-liturgical goals of the Second Vatican Council to fruition. Using a multi-case-study approach, I investigate the only known Catholic institutions in the United States currently employing a traditional choir school education of rigorous daily instruction in choir and sung liturgy: St. Paul’s Choir School (Cambridge, MA), The Madeleine Choir School (Salt Lake City, UT), and The Atonement Academy (San Antonio, TX). To formulate the framework for this study, a survey of related literature was made encompassing musico-liturgical directives of the Second Vatican Council, Church documents calling for chorister formation, papal writings, scholarly sources addressing sacred music within the Catholic Church, and various sets of education standards.

  • PMMS Palestrina Discography
    Palestrina Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber A. The Palestrina Masses have existed as a working list for many years. It has been completed using the recordings and other sources of information for recordings not available, refreshed from the original records, and newly reformatted to match the Du Fay and Josquin des Prez discographies previously posted on this website. The Masses are numbered as in Gustave Reese, Music in the Renaissance (Norton, 1954), 470-72, with the addition of Missa Tu es Petrus à18, but arranged alphabetically with the generic titles placed first. Only 75 of 106 Masses are listed below as recorded, but three are fragmentary and one lacks the Credo. Three others are on obscure CDs and another three are only on LP, so perhaps only 65 Masses may be considered as currently accessible on records. B. The discography of the Magnificat was first published in Fanfare in November 2018. The expanded edition was first published on this site in January 2019. Palestrina set the Magnificat 35 times. Sixteen settings for four voices were published by Gardano in 1591, the first eight in each mode setting the odd verses in polyphony, the other eight in each mode setting the even verses polyphonically. The next eight settings for four voices in each mode (called “Book 2”) are preserved in Cappella Giulia MS 16 (now XV 22). The next eight settings for up to six voices in each mode (called “Book 3”) are in the same source. These sixteen set the even verses polyphonically. Three more settings are identified below; these include the most popular recorded setting in the vinyl era (for four equal voices) and the most popular in the CD era (for eight voices, uniquely through-composed).

  • PMMS Palestrina Discography November 2020
    Palestrina Discography Compiled by Jerome F. Weber Unlike any other discography published on this website, this is a work in progress for the section on motets, as noted below. The identification of recordings of titles that have multiple settings awaits access to the recordings in libraries. Recordings of eleven texts that have been set multiple times have been placed in the Supplement (page 109), as noted in each case; other unidentified recordings are found in the main list. Also added to the Supplement are titles that are not found in the works list in The New Grove High Renaissance Masters. I am indebted to Christian Zwarg (Berlin) for a list of the acoustic recordings and to Alessandro Argentini and Pekka Gronow for assistance with the SEMS/Musique au Vatican and Syrena labels. Clara Marvin’s discography in Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina – A Guide to Research (New York and London: Routledge, 2002) has proved useful. Michael Gray has been most helpful in addition to the content of his database (classical-discography.org). A. The Palestrina Masses have existed as a working list for many years. The list has been completed using the recordings and other sources of information, refreshed from the original records and newly reformatted to match the Du Fay and Josquin des Prez discographies previously posted on this website. The Masses are numbered as in Gustave Reese, Music in the Renaissance (Norton, 1954), 470-72, with the addition of Missa Tu es Petrus à18 and the collaborative Missa Cantantibus organis, but arranged alphabetically with the generic titles placed first.
