Corpus Christi Watershed

Pope Saint Paul VI (3 April 1969): “Although the text of the Roman Gradual—at least that which concerns the singing—has not been changed, the Entrance antiphons and Communions antiphons have been revised for Masses without singing.”

Jeff Ostrowski · December 12, 2013

Call time on (30 January) Saturday Morning = 10:00am

(Wedding starts at 11:30am on the dot, Fr Masutti celebrates)

Mandatory Rehearsal = Friday Night 7 (OVER ZOOM)

On 30 January, there’s a 9:30am Mass in the tent, but our rehearsal will be inside the Church——Father Fryar gave permission for this. Besides, you will be going to Mass at 11:30am.

BASS:
Iffy Edochie
Rene Widmann

TENOR:
Miguel Madrigal
Anthony Rey

ALTO:
Lupe (Miguel’s Sister)
Fleurette Coulombe
Bernadette Coulombe

SOPR:
Claire Coulombe (Sister of Philip, not wife of Philip)
Adeline Coulombe
Catherine Guttierez
Rianna Wojcik


01

Processional

Organ (Pachelbel’s Canon in D) played by Jeff.


02

The actual wedding takes place before Mass begins, since it’s a Solemn High 1962 Extraordinary Form Mass taking place underneath the tent at Saint Vitus.

Prayers at Foot of Altar are begun.


03

Introit

Introit is chanted by men.

Nuptial Introit is called “Deus Israël Conjungat” and can be found at the Goupil Website toward the bottom of the page.


04

Kyrie

This piece has 3 sections: #89425 “Ave Maris Stella” (Victoria).

The third section is the most difficult.


05

Gloria

Then we sing Gloria IX (with men droning), just like we do every Sunday.


06

Gradual + Alleluia

Gradual & Alleluia are chanted by men.

Nuptial Gradual is called “Uxor Tua” and can be found at the Goupil Website toward the bottom of the page.

Nuptial Alleluia is called “Mittat Vobis” and can be found at the Goupil Website toward the bottom of the page.


07

Jeff plays Organ music as priest moves to the pulpit to give his Homily.

Preaching (Homily) by Fr. Masutti happens at the usual time.

There is no Creed on 30 January 2021.


08

Offertory Antiphon

Offertory is chanted by men.

Nuptial Alleluia is called “In Te Speravi” and can be found at the Goupil Website toward the bottom of the page.


09

Offertory Organ Music

Jeff plays this on the organ.


10

Sanctus

#87349 SANCTUS (SATB) by J.S. Bach.


11

Agnus Dei

#7554 • SATB “Agnus Dei” after Fr. Gregorio Allegri (d. 1652)

{After the Pater noster—before saying “Libera nos, quaesumus, Domine”—the Celebrant, standing at the Epistle side, faces the Bride and Bridegroom kneeling before the altar, and recites the solemn Nuptial Blessing. This must not be confused with the sacrament of Marriage and cannot be given apart from Mass. This Blessing is not given to a woman contracting a second marriage.}


12

Communion Antiphon

Communion Antiphon is chanted by men.

Nuptial Introit is called “Ecce Sic Benedicétur” and can be found at the Goupil Website toward the bottom of the page.

    PDF Download • Communion for Sunday
    The COMMUNION ANTIPHON with fauxbourdon psalm verses for this coming Sunday (3 May 2026) is elegant and poignant. It’s such a shame it only comes every three years. This piece—along with all the musical scores for this coming Sunday, which is the 5th Sunday of Easter (Year A)—can be downloaded free of charge from the flourishing feasts website. By the way, how is it already 2026?

    Season’s End Repertoire
    Looking at the REPERTOIRE SHEET until the end of the choral season, I see that I’ve fallen behind schedule. (The last three months have been extraordinarily busy.) As you know, I have been providing organ harmonies for all the ENTRANCE CHANTS—as well as rehearsal videos—and you can see I’m behind where I planned to be. Now I must make up lost ground. However, the choir picks up the ENTRANCE CHANT with ease, so I’m sure it will all work out. My ‘unofficial’ harmonizations are being posted each week at the flourishing feasts website.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    PDF Download • “Funeral Procession”
    From a mediæval Book of Hours, I was sent this glorious depiction of a Roman Catholic funeral procession by Simon Bening (d. 1561). The image resolution is extremely high. I’m not sure I know of a more beautiful illustration of a mediæval church. And I love how the servers are wearing red and pink cassocks!

Quick Thoughts

    PDF Download • “Anima Christi”
    I received a request for an organ accompaniment I created way back in 2007 for the “Anima Christi” Gregorian Chant. You can download this PDF file which has the score in plainsong followed by a keyboard accompaniment. Many melodies have been paired with “Anima Christi” over the centuries, but this is—perhaps—the most common one.

    PDF • “Liturgical Law” (467 Pages)
    On Good Friday during the middle ages, the pope privately recited THE ENTIRE PSALTER. If you don’t believe me, see for yourself by reading this passage by Dom Charles Augustine Bachofen (d. 1943). His famous book—called “Liturgical Law: A Handbook Of The Roman Liturgy”—was published by the Benjamin Herder Book Company, which was the American arm (operating out of St. Louis, Missouri) of one of the world’s most significant Catholic publishers. Dom Charles Augustine Bachofen was born in Switzerland but spent his career between the Benedictine monasteries at Conception (Missouri) and Mount Angel (Oregon). His 1931 masterpiece, Liturgical Law can be downloaded as a PDF file … 467 pages!

    “Gregorian Chant Quiz” • 24 March 2026
    How well do you know your Gregorian hymns? Do you recognize the tune inserted into the bass line on this score? For many years, we sang the entire Mass in Gregorian chant—and I mean everything. As a result, it would be difficult to find a Gregorian hymn I don’t recognize instantly. Only decades later did I realize (with sadness) that this skill cannot be ‘monetized’… This particular melody is used for a very famous Gregorian hymn, printed in the LIBER USUALIS. Do you recognize it? Send me an email with the correct words, and I promise to tell everybody I meet about your prowess!
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“We went to the early Mass to receive Communion because there was no distribution of Communion at the High Mass. After Mass was the breakfast, which was always of better quality than on ordinary days. Then after the breakfast we all returned to church for the Solemn Mass.”

— Dom Ermin Vitry, OSB
