“Et Cum Spiritu Tuo” in the 1961 Fulton Sheen Missal

Jeff Ostrowski · April 7, 2016

JUST HOW WAS the phrase “Et cum spíritu tuo” translated in the 1961 Fulton J. Sheen Missal?

See for yourself:

The primary translator, Fr. Philip Caraman, would seem to agree with Fr. Joseph Andreas Jungmann about this phrase. However, their translation lacks the important connection to St. Paul’s epistles…but that’s another story.

Incidentally, you can download the complete Fulton J. Missal here.

And here’s something from 24 June 1961:

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.

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!

14 May 2022 • Gorgeous Book

If there is a more beautiful book than Abbat Pothier’s 1888 Processionale Monasticum, I don’t know what it might be. This gorgeous tome was today added to the Saint John Lalande Online Library. I wish I owned a physical copy.
