  • “The Great Thanksgiving,” Which Remind Us of What God Did for Us in Jesus
    The words we say in preparation are often called “The Great Thanksgiving,” which remind us of what God did for us in Jesus. It begins with a call and response called the “Sursum Corda” from the Latin words for “Lift up your hearts.” It is an ancient part of the liturgy since the very early centuries of the Church, and a remnant of an early Jewish call to worship. These words remind us that when we observe communion, we are to be thankful and joyful. The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. The next section is spoken by the clergy and is called “The Proper Preface.” It has optional words that connect to the particular day or season of the church year. We will notice that by the time this communion liturgy is over, it will have covered all three parts of the Trinity. This first section focuses on God the Father: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. The congregation then recites “The Sanctus,” from the Latin word for “Holy.” It comes from two Scripture texts: 1) Isaiah’s vision of heaven in Isaiah 6:3: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory,” and 2) Matthew 21:9, in which Jesus enters Jerusalem and the people shout, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” These words remind us that through communion, we enter a holy experience with Jesus.

  • Why Do We Still Recite the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist?
    ATR/87:2 Why Do We Still Recite the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist? Mark D. Chapman* The Anglican Communion appears to be seeking to rule some in and some out on the grounds of “orthodoxy.” In that con- text, a discussion of the creed in worship may help to illustrate the relationships between doctrine, performance, and practice. This article suggests that F. D. Maurice’s understanding of the use of the creed offers a way forward for Anglicans: the “performance” of the creed as a focus for the name of God becomes far more im- portant than assent to propositions. This understanding might help Anglicans in living with diversity while acknowledging an underlying baptismal unity. Reading the creed as a corporate hymn of praise to triune Love might encourage God-fearing people to live in humble adoration of the One who loves them— without growing anxious about precisely what, or even whether, the other people who are singing God’s praise “believe.” It is hard to know what people make of creeds today. My hunch is that most people, and even most Christians, however pious, do not spend much time reading creeds of any sort, let alone the Nicene Creed. Popular apologetic programs like the Alpha Course are, per- haps rather surprisingly, distant from the creeds, and instead focus on a few selected articles and a few things (like particular models of the atonement and charismatic experience) which are not in the creeds at all. In fact, the most likely place to encounter creeds is not in any teaching situation at all, but instead at a service in a church which uses a formal liturgy.

  • Anaphora Syllabus
    Department of Theology University of Notre Dame Fall Semester, 2013 Monddays: 1:45 - 4:15 320 Malloy Hall THEO 83408, 01: TOPICS IN LITURGICAL STUDIES THE ANAPHORA Maxwell E. Johnson Office: Malloy 432 Office Hours: TBA or by Appointment (631-4118) Course Description: This course will examine the origins, evolution, variant structures, and theologies of the Anaphora (Prosphora, Canon, or Eucharistic Prayer), the central prayer of the central act of liturgical worship within the Christian community. The primary focus of this course is the study of the classic anaphoral sources of Christian antiquity, although some current official liturgical texts may also be examined critically. Class Format: This seminar, primarily, is a close reading of classical eucharistic prayer texts in original languages and/or translations aided by the insights of modern liturgical scholarship. It will proceed in a graduate seminar fashion in which each participant will make individual (assigned/chosen) contributions toward a common goal. What this means, concretely, is that the members of the group will depend upon each other as mutual teachers who are responsible individually for specific (assigned/chosen) topics although it is expected that all will have read the materials in question before each class session so that the discussion will be an informed one. Goals and Objectives: This course intends to assist doctoral students in Liturgical Studies and others in acquiring: 1. A thorough knowledge of the origins, evolution, and theology of the Eucharistic Prayer according to its various expressions within the diverse Ecclesial Rites of the Church in the patristic period; 2. An ability to evaluate critically the current Eucharistic Prayers prayed within the diverse Rites of the Church today from the perspective gained by #1 above; and 3.

  • English Chant English Chant
    ENGLISH CHANT Resources for Singing the Propers and Ordinary of the Roman Rite Mass in English Presentation by Steven W. Medicis, Director of Music, Saint James Church, Syracuse, New York The Role of Chant in the Roman Rite Liturgy According to the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium), one of the constitutions of the Second Vatican Council solemnly promulgated by His Holiness Pope Paul VI on December 4, 1963, • 116. The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as spypecially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services. But other kinds of sacred music, especially polyphony, are by no means excluded from liturgical celebrations, so long as they accord with the spirit of the liturgical action... • 117. The typical edition of the books of Gregorian chant is to be completed; and a more critical edition is to be prepared of those books already published since the restoration by St. Pius X. It is desirable also that an edition be prepared containing simpler melodies, for use in small churches. The Roman Gradual • The “typical edition” specified in Article 117 is the Roman Gradual (Graduale Romanum), available in hardcopy form from several Catholic publishers of sacred music including CanticaNOVA Publications, GIA Publications, and OCP. • The Roman Gradual is the primary official book of liturgical music for the Roman Rite. • First published in 1908 at the request of Pope Saint Pius X by the Benedictine monks of Abbaye Saint‐Pierre de Solesmes in France and revised in 1974 following the issuance of the Roman Missal (Missale Romanum) of 1970.

  • Sanctus Sanctorum Exultatio Master's Thesis Presented
    Variety within Unity: Sanctus sanctorum exultatio Master’s Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Peter Moeller Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University Thesis Committee Dr. Danielle Fosler-Lussier, Advisor Dr. Charles Atkinson Dr. Leslie Lockett ii Copyright by Peter Moeller 2018 iii Abstract When the Frankish King Pepin III declared, in the wake of the visit by Pope Stephen II and his retinue (752-57), that henceforth the churches in Francia would follow the Roman rite in the celebration of the liturgy, he began a process that would have far-reaching consequences for both the liturgy and its music. The chants of the Roman rite quickly came to be represented as divinely inspired—their melodies having been sung directly into the ear of Gregory the Great by the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove—and their textual and melodic ductus unalterable. Frankish singers, however, responded creatively to the imposition of the Roman liturgy and its music. While they could not alter the texts and melodies of the standard items of the mass and office, they could add newly composed texts and melodies to them. The result was the phenomenon often referred to as "troping," a term that covers a diverse array of practices ranging from adding melismas to the phrases of an Introit, adding texts to preexistent melismas, or composing completely new texts with music that could introduce and embellish almost any chant of the Mass or Office—the last-named being the "classic trope," as Bruno Stäblein called it.
