Bishop Conley Sings “Salve Regina” With A Whole Pack Of Bishops

Jeff Ostrowski · July 3, 2014

OW OFTEN do you see a whole pack of bishops sitting around singing Gregorian chant? A reader sent the following footage which shows Bishop Conley leading his fellow bishops in the Salve Regina. By the way, I love how he blesses the family afterward, too: so inspiring! And we certainly need inspiration in this sad world of ours!


I know, I know … it’s the 16th century Salve Regina instead of the authentic Medieval one. But it’s the version everybody knows!

P.S.

Bishop Conley is a great promoter of beauty.

Quick Thoughts

28 May 2022 • “Pristine” Vatican Rhythm

My choirs have been singing from the “pure” Editio Vaticana rhythm, which is (technically) the official rhythm of the Catholic Church. I haven’t quite decided how I want the scores to look yet, but this one I’ve produced for tomorrow, Dominica Post Ascensionem (“Sunday after the Ascension”).

27 May 2022 • FEEDBACK

A reader from Wisconsin: “I will pray for you and CC Watershed. This site has been one of the most valuable resources I have in helping me run a choir for an ICKSP apostolate.” A reader from New York: “May God bless you for your wonderful work! This site has been invaluable to me.” A reader from Minnesota: “I started going to a Latin Mass parish about 10 years ago, and this website has been indispensable to me. I could not have learned to sing the Mass without the resources you provide. Thank you!” From Britain: “Thanks for all you are doing! …from a french Gregorian choirmaster living in the UK!”

From a reader: “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all the time and resources poured into CCWatershed. It’s transformed how I approach music in the parish, and has especially helped me deepen appreciation for the ability of volunteer musicians.”

Random Quote

“…I started down the road of the liturgy, and this became a continuous process of growth into a grand reality transcending all particular individuals and generations, a reality that became an occasion for me of ever-new amazement and discovery. The incredible reality of the Catholic liturgy has accompanied me through all phases of life, and so I shall have to speak of it time and again.”

— Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger
