PDF Download • “Saint Anne Line Mass”

Jeff Ostrowski · June 17, 2020

AST THURSDAY, I announced that I will be releasing five “MR3” Mass settings composed in 2011. For those who may have forgotten, MR3 was known as the “new translation” of the Mass: specifically, the English translation of Roman Missal, Third Edition. This “new” (2011) version sought to provide a more accurate translation of the Latin. I was encouraged to release these Mass settings based upon an astonishing telephone call I received—out of the blue—by one of the most respected choral conductors in the world. The first installment was the Saint Ralph Sherwin Mass setting.

Today, for the second installment, I release the SAINT ANNE LINE Mass setting:

*  PDF Download • ORGAN ACCOMPANIMENTS
—Organ Accompaniment for the “Our Father” is included.

*  PDF Download • Congregational Booklet
—Make sure to select “double sided” when printing.

Rehearsal videos some may find helpful:

KYRIE: (with organ) • (without organ)

GLORIA: (with organ) • (without organ)

SANCTUS: (with organ) • (without organ)

MYSTERIUM: (with organ) • (without organ)

AGNUS DEI: (with organ) • (without organ)

Many of my Mass settings use a “walking bass line.” For example, if you look at the harmonization for the “Our Father” in the accompaniment for Saint Anne Line, the bass line moves entirely by step, although occasionally octave displacement was necessary. If you have no idea what STEPWISE MOTION is all about, study these examples (taken at random from my Mass settings):

Quick Thoughts

    Schola Director Posts ‘Live’ Recording
    As I explained in my article posted earlier today, Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland is actually a Catholic tune (in spite of what some have claimed). The volunteer choir I direct sang that beautiful ADVENT melody last Sunday, and I invite you to listen to the live recording. It will get better the more we sing it.

    Message from the Vice-President!
    The Vice-President of the Church Music Association of America, Dr. Horst Buchholz (who also serves as Director of Sacred Music for the Archdiocese of Detroit) sent us an email yesterday regarding the harmonizations (PDF) I composed for the Gregorian Chant psalm tones. Dr. Buchholz says: “Those settings are absolutely exquisite, as I'm used to when it comes from you. Bravo! Well done! Now, as a sequel, if you could write something for accompanying psalms in English that would be awesome.”
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Requesting Our Advent Eucharistic Hymn
    A young lady named Agnes wrote to us: “Dear Mr. Ostrowski, do you have the PDF score for Ave Corpus Domini set to the ADVENT melody? Last year, we sang the hymn tune “Nun Komm der Heiden Heiland” quite a bit using your contrafactum technique. My choir appreciates the Latin hymns and practice videos, especially in the ADVENT and CHRISTMAS seasons. Your recent article on Gregorian Psalm Tones is a great help to my organist brother, and reminds us of attending VESPERS years ago when we lived in California. Thank you so much for all the effort put into providing these wonderful resources!”   Agnes, if you are listening! Yes, the PDF file you desire can be downloaded for free at the Brébeuf Portal via this URL link. Thanks for writing to us!

Random Quote

“If we continue to tolerate sad examples of liturgical abnormalities, experimentation, abuse, and simply poor-quality liturgies, why should we single out those connected to the ancient rites of the Church for special vigilance? It just doesn’t seem right.”
