01

Processional

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.

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

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.}

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.

Quick Thoughts

19 May 2022 • “Trochee Trouble”

I’m still trying to decide how to visually present the “pure” Editio Vaticana scores, using what is (technically) the official rhythm of the Church. You can download my latest attempt, for this coming Sunday. Notice the “trochee trouble” as well as the old issue of neumes before the quilisma.

—Jeff Ostrowski
16 May 2022 • Harmonized Chant?

This year’s upcoming Sacred Music Symposium will demonstrate several ways to sing the CREDO at Mass. This is because—for many parishes—to sing a full-length polyphonic CREDO by Victoria or Palestrina is out of the question. Therefore, we show options that are halfway between plainsong and polyphony. You can hear my choir rehearsing a section that sounds like harmonized plainsong.

—Jeff Ostrowski
14 May 2022 • “Pure” Vatican Edition

As readers know, my choir has been singing from the “pure” Editio Vaticana. That is to say, the official rhythm which—technically—is the only rhythm allowed by the Church. I haven’t figured out how I want the scores to look, so in the meantime we’ve been using temporary scores that look like this. Stay tuned!

—Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“The Catholic Church holds it better for the sun and moon to drop from heaven, for the earth to fail, and for all the many millions on it to die of starvation in extremest agony, as far as temporal affliction goes, than that one soul, I will not say, should be lost, but should commit one single venial sin, should tell one willful untruth, or should steal one poor farthing without excuse.”

— Saint John Henry Newman (1865)
