“For Immediate Release” • Re: Society for Catholic Liturgy Conference in Los Angeles

Corpus Christi Watershed · September 22, 2016

099 Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles HE MOST REVEREND Archbishop José H. Gomez, Monsignor Andrew Wadsworth (ICEL’s Executive Director), Father Andrew Menke (USCCB Secretariat of Divine Worship, Associate Director), and Bishop Elias Zaidan (Maronite Catholic bishop) are just a few of the speakers you’ll hear at the Liturgical Conference coming to Los Angeles from 29 September through 1 October, 2016.

But a change has been made.

The website of Dr. Anthony Lilles (St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo) informs us that Thursday and Friday will still be at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, but Saturday has been moved to USC Caruso Catholic Center (844 West 32nd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007).

Saturday includes the PLENARY SESSION with Fr. Andrew Menke of the USCCB, who will review the current status of various liturgical projects taken up by the US Bishops.

108 • USC (“Our Savior Church”) 107 • USC (“Our Savior Church”) 106 • USC (“Our Savior Church”) 105 • USC (“Our Savior Church”) 104 • USC (“Our Savior Church”) 103 • USC (“Our Savior Church”)


Saturday morning at 8:00am, a Solemn High Mass will be offered with Sacred polyphony & Gregorian chant. The priests and choir are from the new Los Angeles Apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter.

Quick Thoughts

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.

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.

Random Quote

“Worse, composers are now setting the introits of the missal [instead of the Graduale] to music, even to chant, though these texts were explicitly for spoken recitation only.”

— ‘Dr. William Mahrt (Fall, 2015)’
