    Erdington Abbey 1850-1876-2001 Michael Hodgetts Benedictine History Symposium 2001 ERDINGTON ABBEY, 1850-1876-2001 Michael Hodgetts From 1876 until 1922, the arch-abbey of Beuron in Württemberg had a daughter-house in England at Erdington, four and a half miles north-east of Birmingham. The parish is still universally known as ‘the Abbey’, although it has been served by Redemptorists since 1922 and the claustral buildings were sold to a local school in 1994. The church itself celebrated its one hundred and fiftieth anniversary on 11 June last year: it was built by a wealthy Tractarian convert, Daniel Henry Haigh, on whose retirement in 1876 it was taken over by the Benedictines from Beuron. My parents were married there in 1934, and I have known it since 1942. So I was delighted when Abbot Scott asked me to mark the anniversary by a contribution to this Symposium. Until the 19th century, Erdington was merely a hamlet in the huge medieval parish of Aston, which included all the countryside between Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield, seven miles to the north-east and for several miles to the east as well. There had been recusant gentry within three or four miles, but not in Erdington itself. About 1690 Andrew Bromwich established a Masshouse at (Old) Oscott, now known as Maryvale, three miles north-west, in Handsworth parish, which, like Erdington, is now a suburb of Birmingham. Even in 1767, however, only two Papists were reported in the whole of Aston parish, though in Sutton Coldfield there were thirty, and in Birmingham and Edg-baston, on the far side of it, there were well over three hundred.

I Thesis M 783.5 G384 c.1 • - - -·- ·- - SEP 4 1958 PREFACE Gregorian ohant, or in other words plain ohant, is church muslc sung in accord with the liturgy or regular prayers ot the Catholic church. It ls the special property of the Church inherited from ages past, and by her 1t ls to be reverently used and then transmitted to the tuture. Thls thesis is not a detailed history of church music but rather an exposition, showing the broad lines of the develop­ ment and adYanoement ot Gregorian ohant b7 members of the Order of St. Benediot. The aim ot the thesis ls not so much to lead the reader to admire Gregorian chant for its art1st1o value, but rather to create 1n the reader the desire to hear and to render plain song chant as the most titting musio for liturgical worship. This thesis was written under the direction of Doctor Gustav Dunkelberger whose assistance and encouragement were of great value. The writer wishes to acknowledge the courtes• of St. John's University for making source material available.

  • Post-Conciliar Changes in Liturgy
    „Ruch Biblijny i Liturgiczny” 66 (2013) nr 4 STANISŁAW MIESZCZAK SCJ Post-Conciliar Changes in Liturgy On the fiftieth anniversary of the proclamation of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium1 many efforts were made to show the deep sense of both the Constitution itself and the reform of the liturgy in the Church that it had provoked. Different opinions are held – some are unconditionally delighted with the achievements of the re- form, others evaluate it with a just, and often critical, view of the changes it brought. Still others, uncompromisingly negate everything that has been achieved in the last years in the field of the liturgy of the Catholic Church. All this does not come as a surprise. All the changes that the Second Vatican Council introduced in the liturgy directly touch on our faith and the way we experience it, therefore, they call for an emotional reaction. We must also consider the fact that all judgement is based on the knowledge one has and their deeply rooted opinions on the subject which, many a time, are quite relative, hence so many open controversies arise. At the same time we must remember that the faithful, together with their pastors, are entitled and obliged to care about the right way of celebrat- ing liturgy, as it is proof of faith in the Church and responsibility for the Church.2 The changes, however, were necessary, especially in liturgy.

  • Chronik Der Erzabtei Beuron
    CHRONIK DER ERZABTEI BEURON 2007 ADVENT 2008 „Ich habe den guten Kampf gekämpft, den Lauf vollendet, die Treue gehalten.“ (2 Tim 4,7) Dieses Schriftwort soll unserem Jahresbericht im Paulus-Jahr voranstehen, wenn- gleich wir wissen, dass wir nur annähernd das verwirklicht haben, was der Völ- kerapostel kurz vor seinem Hinübergang in die ewige Heimat von sich selbst behaupten kann, er, der beispielhaft auf die Gnade gebaut hat. Unsere Gemeinschaft umfasst zum Ende des Kirchenjahres 58 Mitbrüder, davon 51 Konventualen, 4 Triennalprofessen, 2 Novizen und 1 Postulanten. Im Folgen- den soll von Höhen und Tiefen des klösterlichen Lebens berichtet werden, von Frohem und Traurigem, Ungewöhnlichem und Alltäglichem. Am 16. April wählte während seiner 2. Sitzungsperiode das 24. Beuroner Gene- ralkapitel unseren P. Albert Schmidt zum Präses unserer Kongregation. Mit P. Albert wurde erstmal ein Mönch, der nicht Abt ist, zum Präses gewählt. Der letzte Abtpräses, der aus unseren Reihen kam, war Erzabt Benedikt Reetz, der vier Jahre nach seiner Wahl am 28. Dezember 1964 beim Sonnenhaus in Beuron tödlich verunglückt ist. Am 19. April bereits empfing P. Albert durch unseren Erzbischof Dr. Robert Zollitsch in unserer Abteikirche die Abtsbenediktion. Wir wünschen unserem neuen Abtpräses Gnade und Kraft, die vielfältigen Aufgaben, die er nun zu erfüllen hat, bei guter Gesundheit anzupacken. Zweifellos hat er damit längst begonnen. Seit dem Frühjahr konnte er bereits 14 der 18 Klöster unserer Kongregation besuchen. In Tholey leitete er die Wahl des Nachfolgers von Abt Makarios Hebler. Das Regimen Congregationis tagte in Maria Laach und Engelthal. In Vallendar nahm er an der Jahresversammlung der Deutschen Ordensoberenkonferenz teil.

Dear Customer, Murray Perahia’s eagerly awaited debut on Deutsche Grammophon is released this month: a welcome addition to his Bach discography, this time in the form of the French Suites. It’s hard to believe it is now seven years since his last Bach recording for Sony and nearly twenty years since he gave us the English Suites. We have waxed lyrical about Perahia here in the past, so won’t bore you too much this time, but urge you not to miss this new issue! (You also may be interested to know that Sony’s superb luxury 40�� anniversary boxset of his recordings is still available at £129.95 (67CD + 5DVD) and would make a wonderful gift for any piano lover). Two top-flight mezzos also have new recitals for us - Elina Garanca in big diva bel canto repertoire on a disc entitled ‘Revive’ (DG, p.3) and Joyce DiDonato in a slightly more personal project labelled ‘War and Peace’ (Erato, p.4). Featuring baroque arias by Handel, Purcell and others, DiDonato has big ambitions for her disc. Planned since the Paris terrorist attacks in 2015, her aim is ‘to steer conversation and discourse… to help all of us find peace in our lives in a dynamic way…’. Bold sentiments indeed, but perhaps using her status and profile to help raise awareness and encourage dialogue is something to be applauded and not dismissed too quickly.
