“A Catholic Life” reviews the Campion Hymnal

Corpus Christi Watershed · December 10, 2013

951 Latin M A blog specializing in catechetical resources has published this favorable review. Here’s an excerpt:

ACH AND EVERY DAY countless books are sold in the world and new books are being published for the first time. With the advent of Lulu.com and other self-publishing platforms, there are thousands of books introduced into the world each year. For a Catholic trying to navigate the narrow road, he will find many books that are neither beautiful nor spiritually enriching. And once in a while he will find a book that is either very beautifully designed or one that is truly spiritually enriching and enduring. It is a gem to find a book that has both characteristics. I’m glad that I have found such a one in the St. Edmund Campion Missal.

Quick Thoughts

    PDF • “For the Season of Pentecost”
    During the season of Pentecost, you might consider using this 2-page Piece “for the season of Pentecost.” Rehearsal videos are available at #40691, but the lyrics are different. Therefore, make sure your choir members understand that one can rehearse songs that have different lyrics (“CONTRAFACT”).
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Introit • (This Coming Sunday)
    Our volunteer choir appreciates training videos, so here's my attempt at recording “Exáudi Dómine Vocem Meam,” which is the INTROIT for this coming Sunday. This coming Sunday is Dominica Post Ascensionem (“Sunday after the feast of the Ascension”). It is sung according to the official rhythm of the Catholic Church.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Volunteer Choir Attempts “Kýrie Eléison”
    My volunteer choir attempted the polyphonic KYRIE that will be sung at this year's Sacred Music Symposium. If you're interested, you can listen to the live recording from last Sunday. The piece is based on the ancient plainchant hymn melody: Ave Maris Stella. Polyphony like this is truly intricate and wonderful. It reminds me of the quote by Artur Schnabel: “music that's greater than it can be performed.”
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“I would hope there is a place [at Mass] for the avant-garde in the same way I think there has to be a place—and we have to be careful with this—a place for Jazz and a place for Evangelical and all of that. […] On theological grounds, I do think we need interaction with the culture at the level of high art or at the level of more commercial pop culture.”

— Fr. Anthony Ruff (22 June 2016)
