The Principals and Claims of Devotional Music REV. P. JOSEPH KELLY, MUS. D.

Among the authorized methods of praise. Gregorian Chant and devotional songs hold the first place; and to this method, the pre­ cepts, examples, and exhotrations of Sacred Scripture seem chiefly to refer. God requires the whole earth to become vocal in His praise; nor can we for a moment suppose Him indifferent either to manner or to the spirit of our vocal praise, and to bring our offerings with cold indifference on the one hand, or to cause them, on the other, to min­ ister chiefly to the gratification of tastes, must doubtless be displeasing to Him as well as injurious to the public edification. What then is implied in the duty of sing... ing to the praise of God? The answer is not difficult. The Scriptures furnish us with themes which are eminently distinguished for their spirituality, and these themes are to be uttered with heart and voice in the devout eloquence of song, especially the glorious chant of the Church. To say nothing of the higher claims of music, there are cer... tain properties of style in modern music REV. F. JOSEPH KELLY which may well be termed fundamental.

OUR MUSIC THIS MONTH

o MAGNUM MYSTERIUM VITTORIA...ROWLANDS The Spanish master of polyphonic music, Tomas da Vittoria (or Vic.­ toria) is one of the immortals in Catholic church music. Some believe that had he resided nearer to Rome, and thus been more quickly available for consultation, that he, not Palestrina, would have been chosen to write·· the "Model Mass" and thus have become the "Saviour of modern church music for the liturgy.tt However, the music of Vittoria is slightly more modern than that of Palestrina, and hence has become more popular actually 'for performance than the works of his great.colleague. He composed a tremen.­ dous amount of church music much of which was gathered in a collection tt by H. Bauerle. The "0 Magnum Mysterium appears in that collection. Vittoria's. Holy Week Music, is well known throughout the world. This Christmas piece is deserving of equal renown, either for church use, or for program purposes in concert -- to represent the type of music presented by the ancient masters. Father Rowlands, here presents a clear edition, well marked for tasteful interpretation.

CHRISTMAS HYMNS FOR MENtS CHOIRS Simple dignified hymns with English words, arranged for singing by men, are difficult to find. These hymns were selected as of interest during this season and as representative of the kind of hymns generally approved for church use. Tappert and Mitterer, are names which need no introduction to old subscribers, or to Catholic church musicians who know something of the traditions of liturgical music. "Hail Holy Night"; and "0 Tidings Sweet"; tt provide a "suit appropriate for the "half hour before Midnight Mass". 459 o MagnumMysterium UO-'great and admt·ralJl",n1/sterll, tltat lJea,t. ,Aould .lo()kffPOn tlte new-lJorn Lord, 11ling in flcI"adle! o .Blessed Virgin, wAo$tJ bo.dy .was found wortAlIto 'lJeartAeLord JtJSU8 CAristl ..A.lleluia,alleluia!
