  • Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years After Sacrosanctum Concilium: an Assessment KEITH F
    Roman Catholic Liturgical Renewal Forty-Five Years after Sacrosanctum Concilium: An Assessment KEITH F. PECKLERS, S.J. Next December 4 will mark the forty-fifth anniversary of the promulgation of the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on the Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, which the Council bishops approved with an astounding majority: 2,147 in favor and 4 opposed. The Constitution was solemnly approved by Pope Paul VI—the first decree to be promulgated by the Ecumenical Council. Vatican II was well aware of change in the world—probably more so than any of the twenty ecumenical councils that preceded it.1 It had emerged within the complex social context of the Cuban missile crisis, a rise in Communism, and military dictatorships in various corners of the globe. President John F. Kennedy had been assassinated only twelve days prior to the promulgation of Sacrosanctum Concilium.2 Despite those global crises, however, the Council generally viewed the world positively, and with a certain degree of optimism. The credibility of the Church’s message would necessarily depend on its capacity to reach far beyond the confines of the Catholic ghetto into the marketplace, into non-Christian and, indeed, non-religious spheres.3 It is important that the liturgical reforms be examined within such a framework. The extraordinary unanimity in the final vote on the Constitution on the Liturgy was the fruit of the fifty-year liturgical movement that had preceded the Council. The movement was successful because it did not grow in isolation but rather in tandem with church renewal promoted by the biblical, patristic, and ecumenical movements in that same historical period.

Even though everyone of them has been dear to me, there are a few outstanding ones that I would like to single out here. In the first place, I am exceptionally indebted to my beloved late parents, Op. Paul Kwasi Krah and Obp. Mary Adwoa Bour both of Atrensu in Techiman, Ghana. I am grateful to them for their tender parental care, basic Christian faith and financial support from my basic education to the end of my priestly formation and ordination in 1990. I cannot forget the love and care of all my brothers and sisters and my entire maternal family of Konimase and paternal family of Kyidom. My next gratitude goes to all who contributed to the success of my basic, secondary and tertiary education up to the end of my priestly formation, especially, Most Rev.

  • Motu Proprio
    Motu proprio In law, motu proprio (Latin for: "on his own impulse") describes an official act taken without a formal request from another party. Some jurisdictions use the termsua sponte for the same concept. In Catholic canon law, it refers to a document issued by the Pope on his own initiative and personally signed by him.[1] Such a document may be addressed to the whole Church, to part of it, or to some individuals.[1] A document issued motu proprio has its legal effect even if the reasons given for its issuance are found to be false or fraudulent, a fact which would normally render the document invalid. Its validity is based on its issuance by the pope by his own initiative, not upon the reasons alleged. The first motu proprio was promulgated by Pope Innocent VIII in 1484. It continues to be a common form of Papal rescript, especially when establishing institutions, making minor changes to law or procedure, and when granting favours to persons or institutions.[2] Contents Effect Form Notable examples In civil law References External links Effect An important effect of the issue of a document in this way is that a rescript containing the clause motu proprio is valid and produces its effect even in cases where fraud would ordinarily have vitiated the document, since the Pope does not rely on the reasons alleged when he grants a favour.[2] Withholding of the truth in what, according to canonical law, style and practice, must for validity be expressed, normally renders a rescript invalid, but not if the rescript is issued motu proprio.[3]

Archdiocese of Detroit’s Mission Statement: To Unleash the Gospel. Saint Christopher’s Parish Mission Statement: Transform Lives in Jesus Christ Through the Power and Freedom of the Gospel. Parish Vision Statement: Foster a Personal Encounter with Jesus. Pastor’s Points of Perspective. Greetings and the Father’s Blessing be upon you, my dear spiritual children. What happened to the Sign of Peace at the Mass? As you may recall the Sign of Peace at the Mass was ordered deleted for this time of great fear surrounding the corona virus. Even before the corona virus, parishioners were concerned about the possible exchange of germs between people through the Sign of Peace, which we addressed previously. You may recall that we informed everyone that at the Sign of Peace eye contact and a head nod along with the statement “Peace be with you” would be a sufficient way to exchange the Sign of Peace if one did not want to shake someone’s hand. Recall that the Sign of Peace was based on a “cultural norm,” which commonly, was a handshake. Now we are developing a new and acceptable “cultural norm” of an exchange of a Sign of Peace without any physical con- tact. The Leadership Team and Worship Commission believe it is time to restore some Sign of Peace to the Mass that is culturally acceptable just like the one mentioned above. Therefore, for our cultural standard of today, we will begin restoring the Sign of Peace with eye contact and a head nod along with the statement “Peace be with you” as this is most relevant for our time and circumstances.

  • Introduction and Rubrics in English Liber Usualis
    INTRODUCTION AND RUBRICS IN ENGLISH LIBER USUALIS RUBRICS FOR THE CHANT OF THE MASS. I. When the priest goes towards the altar, the cantors begin the Introit. On Ferias and Simples the Intonation is to be sung by one cantor as far as the sign * : on other Feasts and Sundays, there should be two cantors: but on Solemn Feasts there should be four, if as many as four are available. The choir continues until the Psalm. The first part of the Verse of the Psalm as far as the asterisk, and the V. Gloria Patri, are sung by the cantors, the full choir taking up the rest of the verse. Afterwards, the Introit as far as the Psalm is repeated by the full choir. If the priest and ministers have some way to go in the church before reaching the altar, there is no reason why several Verses of the Introit Psalm should not be sung after the Antiphon and Verse. In that case the Antiphon may be repeated after every Verse or two Verses. When the priest reaches the altar, the Psalm is if necessary interrupted at the end of a Verse, Gloria Patri is sung, and finally the Antiphon. II. When the Antiphon is over, the choir sings the Kyrie eleison thrice, the Christe eleison thrice, and again the Kyrie eleison thrice, alternately with the cantors, or with the other half of the choir. But the last Kyrie eleison is divided into two or three parts, marked by a single or double asterisk. If there be only two parts, and hence only a single asterisk, the first part is sung by the cantors or by the first half of the choir, the second part by the full choir.

  • ALEXANDER, JOHN DAVID, D.M.A. a Study of the Influence of Texts From
    ALEXANDER, JOHN DAVID, D.M.A. A Study of the Influence of Texts from the Liber Usualis on Three Improvised French Organ Works by Marcel Dupré, Charles Tournemire, and Olivier Latry. (2020) Directed by Welborn Young and André Lash. 82 pp. Improvisation has played a vital role in the French school of organ playing over the last several centuries, both in sacred and secular settings. Within the context of Catholic masses in France, the majority of the music played by the organists is improvisational. Much of the thematic material of these improvisations comes from the service music contained in the Liber Usualis. This document explores the treatment of these themes from the Liber Usualis, particularly focusing on the impact of the text of each chant on three works by Marcel Dupré, Charles Tournemire, and Olivier Latry, three of the leading improvisateurs of the twentieth and twenty-first century. Studying published reconstructions of their improvisations based on themes from the Liber Usualis gives insight into their respective improvisational languages and the affect created by a thorough knowledge of the text of each Liber Usualis theme used. Following an introduction, a chapter is dedicated to each composer and his work: Marcel Dupré’s Symphonie-Passion, Charles Tournemire’s Choral-Improvisation sur le ‘Victimae Paschali,’ and Olivier Latry’s Salve Regina. Each of these chapters contains brief biographical information about the composer, an overview of the instrument on which the original improvisation was performed, a description of each work, and how the chant is incorporated into each. The final chapter contains a comparison of the three works, reexamining the impact of the chant text on rhythm, registration, dynamics, form, and texture.

  • Cantilena and Antiphon: Music for Marian Services in Late Medieval England
    Cantilena and Antiphon: Music for Marian Services in Late Medieval England By Peter M. Lefferts One of the most important contributions to studies of medieval music in recent years was made by Ernest Sanders as editor of volume two of English Music for Mass and Offices (volume XVII in the series Polyphonic Music of the Fourteenth Century).1 Sanders was particularly responsible for the editions of a large proportion of the surviving repertoire of poly­ phonic cantilenas, a major genre in terms of numbers of pieces and inherent musical value that heretofore has received little attention in the musicological literature, aside from Sanders's own contributions.2 The cantilena holds a place in the fourteeth-century English polyphonic repertoire roughly equivalent to that of the votive antiphon in the fifteenth century, though it is a much less familiar and less widely traveled genre. Stylistically, cantilenas form a complex category of works, but one that has nonetheless a clearly defined core. The archetypal cantilena is a three-voice piece freely composed in three or four large sections, setting regularly versified, double-versicle texts of uniform stanzaic structure in a 1 Editions de L'Oiseau-Lyre has published four volumes of English music in its series Polyphonic Music of the Fourteenth Century (hereinafter "PMFC").
