In preparation for Lent, our chant choir will be working on the Latin ordinaries. Happily, Jeff Ostrowski has some very nice YouTube vids to aid in learning them. Kyrie XVII (c):
Sanctus XVII: Agnus Dei XVII: Many thanks to Jeff and Corpus Christ Watershed for these wonderful resources. After moving home to Roswell, I am happy to report that there is now a new Chant Choir at our parish. Beginning in July, several parishioners began rehearsing with me each week with a goal toward offering more chant in the liturgies. We mostly rehearsed and worked on learning the chant notation and getting accustomed to singing together for the first several months. However, beginning at the very beginning of the liturgical year (December 2012), we began having a regular singing schedule at Mass. Each month, we will rotate through the Mass schedule as follows: Second Sunday of the month, 5:30 p.m. Saturday This offers at least two advantages: 1) the existing choirs are not too disrupted in their normal schedule, yet have a weekend off each month, and 2) the parishioners at all Masses have a chance to get used to singing more chant during Mass. We are working to teach all the parish the chanted ordinaries from the new Mass translation. So far, we singing all the dialogs, the Kyrie, Sanctus and Agnus Dei (all in English) and the chanted Lord’s Prayer. Beginning in January, we will also teach the parish the chanted Gloria. We have about 20 members in the choir, both men and women. Beginning with simple chants, we now sing the following chant hymns in addition to the English ordinaries: Ave Maria We are in the process of learning these chants in preparation for Lent: Ave Regina Caelorum In addition to chant, we sing hymns suitable to the liturgical season at each Mass, as well as the weekly responsorial psalm in either three or four parts from the Respond and Acclaim books published by OCP. We have sung one polyphonic piece with success: Jesu Rex Admirabilis. I’d like to do more of this, since we have a nice group of singers and are getting better at singing parts from the practice we get from the responsorial psalm each week. http://www.chantcafe.com/2012/07/announcing-sacred-music-colloquium.html The location for next year’s Colloquium will be Salt Lake City again! Carl Dierschow has posted the recordings from this year’s Colloquium. Check them out here: |
