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.”

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:

TENOR:
Miguel Madrigal
Anthony Rey

ALTO:
Lupe (Miguel’s Sister)
Fleurette 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.

President’s Corner

    “What Martin Luther Said…”
    My pastor asked me to write little columns for the bulletin each week. The article for 20 July 2025 has been posted, and it’s called: “What Luther Said…” Martin Luther (an ex-priest and apostate) was an infamous heretic whose ignorance of JESUS CHRIST was only exceeded by his filthy and disgusting vulgarity.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    “Music List” • 15th in Ordinary Time (Year C)
    Some have expressed interest in perusing the ORDER OF MUSIC I prepared for the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time (13 July 2025). If such a thing interests you, feel free to download it as a PDF file. As always, the Responsorial Psalm, Gospel Acclamation, and propers for this Sunday are also provided at the the feasts website.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    15th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C)
    This coming Sunday—13 July 2025—is the 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year C). All the chants have been conveniently assembled and posted at the feasts website. The OFFERTORY, Ad Te Levávi, is particularly beautiful.
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Quick Thoughts

    Pope Pius XII Hymnal?
    Have you ever heard of the Pope Pius XII Hymnal? It’s a real book, published in the United States in 1959. Here’s a sample page so you can verify with your own eyes it existed.
    —Corpus Christi Watershed
    “Hybrid” Chant Notation?
    Over the years, many have tried to ‘simplify’ plainsong notation. The O’Fallon Propers attempted to simplify the notation—but ended up making matters worse. Dr. Karl Weinmann tried to do the same in the time of Pope Saint Pius X by replacing each porrectus. You can examine a specimen from his edition and see whether you agree he complicated matters. In particular, look at what he did with éxsules fílii Hévae.

    Antiphons Don’t Match?
    A reader wants to know why the Entrance and Communion antiphons in certain publications deviate from what’s prescribed by the GRADUALE ROMANUM published after Vatican II. Click here to read our answer. The short answer is: the Adalbert Propers were never intended to be sung. They were intended for private Masses only (or Masses without music). The “Graduale Parvum,” published by the John Henry Newman Institute of Liturgical Music in 2023, mostly uses the Adalbert Propers—but sometimes uses the GRADUALE text: e.g. Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul (29 June).

Random Quote

“In everything of any importance at all, Sarum (and all other mediæval rites) was simply Roman, the rite which we still use.”

— Fr. Adrian Fortescue (1912)
