Lecture: What Happens to Us in Liturgy?

Fr. David Friel · September 24, 2020

LTHOUGH its annual, weekend conference has been curtailed this year due to COVID-19, the Society for Catholic Liturgy (SCL) is offering a series of virtual lectures in its place. The first conference is scheduled for this Saturday.

Dr. David Fagerberg, professor of liturgical studies at the University of Notre Dame, will present a lecture entitled What Happens to Us in Liturgy? beginning at 3 PM (EDT) on Saturday, September 26, 2020. His presentation will include a period of questions & answers and will conclude at 4:15 PM (EDT).

The conference will be conducted via Zoom and is open to all. Those interested in attending the Zoom conference should register through the SCL website.

Fagerberg is the author of several excellent books, including Theologia Prima: What Is Liturgical Theology?, On Liturgical Asceticism, Consecrating the World: On Mundane Liturgical Theology, and Liturgy outside Liturgy: The Liturgical Theology of Fr. Alexander Schmemann.

The remainder of the 2020-2021 SCL virtual lecture series has not yet been announced. Stay tuned for further information as it becomes available!

Quick Thoughts

    PDF • “For General Use Until Advent”
    If you conduct a volunteer choir, you might consider using this Simple Piece #40273 (“Adésto Sáncta Trínitas”) which can be used during the rest of the liturgical season until Advent. It's based on the well known hymn tune: OLD HUNDREDTH. Rehearsal videos are available at #40691. A live recording of #40273 (“Adésto Sáncta Trínitas”) by a volunteer choir is here (#40065).
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Introit • (This Coming Sunday)
    Our volunteer choir appreciates training videos, so here's my attempt at recording “Exáudi Dómine Vocem Meam,” which is the INTROIT for this coming Sunday. This coming Sunday is Dominica Post Ascensionem (“Sunday after the feast of the Ascension”). It is sung according to the official rhythm of the Catholic Church.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Volunteer Choir Attempts “Kýrie Eléison”
    My volunteer choir attempted the polyphonic KYRIE that will be sung at this year's Sacred Music Symposium. If you're interested, you can listen to the live recording from last Sunday. The piece is based on the ancient plainchant hymn melody: Ave Maris Stella. Polyphony like this is truly intricate and wonderful. It reminds me of the quote by Artur Schnabel: “music that's greater than it can be performed.”
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“From the responses received, it is thus clear that by far the greater number of bishops feel that the present discipline [Communion on the tongue and not in the hand] should not be changed at all—indeed, that if it were changed, this would be offensive to the sensibility and spiritual appreciation of these bishops and of most of the faithful.”

— Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship (29 May 1969)
