Holy Week Chants • Clergy Training

Fr. David Friel · March 13, 2021

OLY WEEK is certainly the most demanding week of the year—ceremonially, musically, and spiritually. From the Passion narratives to the Reproaches to the Exsultet, the music for the week is sublime, but challenging. In an effort to help clergy prepare for their part in the chants of Holy Week, a free online workshop will be offered this coming Thursday evening.

Sponsored by Square Notes: The Sacred Music Podcast, the training will take place on Thursday, March 18, 2021 at 8 PM (EDT) via the Zoom platform.

The workshop is focused on the English chants of Holy Week according to the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite. The music to be covered includes the week’s major chants proper to the clergy:

Sung Passions of Palm Sunday (Year B) and Good Friday)
Solemn Intercessions of Good Friday
Chant for the Showing of the Cross
Exsultet
Triple Alleluia and Dismissal of the Easter Vigil

Three presenters will lead this very timely workshop:

Dr. Jennifer Donelson-Nowicka (Director of Sacred Music, St. Joseph’s Seminary, Yonkers)
Fr. Michael Connolly (Parochial Vicar, St. Columba Church, Hopewell Junction, NY)
Fr. Jon Tveit (Parochial Vicar, St. James the Apostle, Carmel, NY)

The workshop is free, but requires advanced registration. Register here.

    Weeping For Joy! (We Hope!)
    Listening to this Easter Alleluia—an SATB arrangement I made twenty years ago based on the work of Monsignor Jules Van Nuffel—one of our readers left this comment: “I get tears in my eyes each time I sing to this hymn.” I hope this person is weeping for joy!

Random Quote

Never before have men had so many time-saving devices. Yet, never before have they had so little free time. When the world unnecessarily accelerates, the Church must slow down.
