Corpus Christi Watershed

Pope Saint Paul VI (3 April 1969): “Although the text of the Roman Gradual—at least that which concerns the singing—has not been changed, the Entrance antiphons and Communions antiphons have been revised for Masses without singing.”

Corpus Christi Watershed · May 3, 2022

HE RESPONSE to Sacred Music Symposium 2022 has exceeded anything its creators could have imagined. We have accepted wonderful musicians from across the globe; and we could not be more thrilled. There are still a few spots left. Although we technically reached capacity a few weeks ago (and sadly had to reject some applications) a few adjustments have been made. These adjustments mean we can squeeze in a few more singers, depending upon which vocal part you can sing. The daily schedule for 2022 will be released soon.

All the information is posted here: CCWATERSHED.ORG/SYMPOSIUM

Please Note: The bulk of the Gregorian Chant happens at Solemn Vespers each night. Additionally, metrical hymns (English + Latin) will be sung before and after Vespers each night.

Feast of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus:
M First Mass of a newly-ordained FSSP priest
M 24 June 2022 • Call time for choir: 6:30pm
In 1856, the feast of the Sacred Heart was prescribed for the universal Church. Later on, Pope Pius XI gave it an octave and raised it to the same rank as the feasts of Christmas and Ascension. It was assigned a new Mass formula and Office by a decree of 29 January 1929. The present Mass formula has various points in common with the Mass Miserébitur hitherto prescribed for the universal Church and the Mass Egredímini permitted to some localities.

Introit • Plainsong, Mode V (Cogitationes Cordis Ejus)
M Score Video Mp3 Organist
The melody is a combination of various parts of several Introits. The melody over “Cogitatiónes Cordis ejus” shows some similarity to that over “Dómine refúgium factus es nobis” at the beginning of the Introit for Tuesday after the First Sunday of Lent. The fact that both excerpts end with the same word may have brought about this association. The following “et generatiónem” repeats in abbreviated form the melody over “convéntum fácite” in the Introit “Lætáre” of the fourth Sunday of Lent. The entire second phrase “et éruat” is the same as the third phrase of the Introit “Lætáre.”

Gregorian Gradual • Mode 1 (Dulcis Et Rectus Dominus)
M 54041 • PDF score
The melody over “et rectus Dóminus” might be derived from the Gradual “Concupívit Rex” of the Mass Vultum Tuum (the second for a Virgin not a Martyr). The florid neums over “et” are found over the significant “rex” in the latter Mass. It is more probable, however, that today’s melody is to be sought in the Gradual of the twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost. At any rate, the beginning over “Dulcis” (ecce) and the entire melody from “delinquéntibus” to the end is taken from that Gradual. See also “Tota Formósa” from B. Mariæ Virginis de Perpetuo Succursu.

President’s Corner

    PDF Download • “Eb Organ Postlude”
    Gustav Adolf Merkel (d. 1885) was a German organist, teacher, and composer. Although a Lutheran himself, he held the appointment at the (Roman Catholic) Cathedral of Dresden from 1864 until his death. You can download his Organ Postlude in E-Flat, which I like very much. He has an interesting way of marking the pedal notes. What do you think?
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Music List • (Palm Sunday, 2026)
    Readers have expressed interest in seeing the ORDER OF MUSIC I created for Palm Sunday—a.k.a. “Dominica in palmis de Passione Domini”—which is 29 March 2026. Please feel free to download it as a PDF file if such a thing interests you. The OFFERTORY (Impropérium exspectávit cor meum) is quite moving. Even though the COMMUNION ANTIPHON is relatively simple, the Fauxbourdon makes it sound outstanding.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Easter • Would You Sing This Hymn?
    He who examines Laudes Dei: a hymnal for Catholic congregations (St. Louis, 1894) will discover this pairing of a hymn for Easter. For the record, this isn’t the only Catholic hymn book to marry that text and melody; e.g. Saint Mark’s Hymnal for Use in the Roman Catholic Church in the United States (Peoria, 1910) does the same thing. Sometimes an unexpected pairing—chosen with sensitivity—can be superb, forcing singers to experience the text in a ‘fresh’ and wonderful way. On the other hand, we sometimes encounter something I’ve called “PERNICIOUS HYMN PAIRINGS.” If you find the subject in intriguing, feel free to peruse an article I published in May of 2023. As always, my email inbox is open if you have a bone to pick with my take.

Quick Thoughts

    “Gregorian Chant Quiz” • 24 March 2026
    How well do you know your Gregorian hymns? Do you recognize the tune inserted into the bass line on this score? For many years, we sang the entire Mass in Gregorian chant—and I mean everything. As a result, it would be difficult to find a Gregorian hymn I don’t recognize instantly. Only decades later did I realize (with sadness) that this skill cannot be ‘monetized’… This particular melody is used for a very famous Gregorian hymn, printed in the LIBER USUALIS. Do you recognize it? Send me an email with the correct words, and I promise to tell everybody I meet about your prowess!
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    PDF Download • “Ubi Caritas” (SATB)
    I remember singing “Ubi Cáritas” by Maurice Duruflé at the conservatory. I was deeply moved by it. However, some feel Duruflé’s version isn’t suitable for small choirs since it’s written for 6 voices and the bass tessitura is quite low. That’s why I was absolutely thrilled to discover this “Ubi cáritas” (SATB) for smaller choirs by Énemond Moreau, who studied with OSCAR DEPUYDT (d. 1925), an orphan who became a towering figure of Catholic music. Depuydt’s students include: Flor Peeters (d. 1986); Monsignor Jules Van Nuffel (d. 1953); Arthur Meulemans (d. 1966); Monsignor Jules Vyverman (d. 1989); and Gustaaf Nees (d. 1965). Rehearsal videos for each individual voice await you at #19705. When I came across the astonishing English translation for “Ubi Cáritas” by Monsignor Ronald Knox—matching the Latin’s meter—I decided to add those lyrics as an option (for churches which have banned Latin). My wife and I made this recording to give you some idea how it sounds.

    PDF Download • “Holy, Holy, Holy”
    For vigil Masses on Saturday (a.k.a. “anticipated” Masses) we use this simpler setting of the “Holy, Holy, Holy” by Monsignor Jules Vyverman (d. 1989), a Belgian priest, organist, composer, and music educator who ultimately succeeded another ‘Jules’ (CANON JULES VAN NUFFEL) as director of the Lemmensinstituut in Belgium. Although I could be wrong, my understanding is that the LEMMENSINSTITUUT eventually merged with “Catholic University of Leuven” (originally founded in 1425). That’s the university Fulton J. Sheen attended.

Random Quote

“Unfortunately, on the one hand a deadly error in judgment placed the official leadership of this committee into the hands of a man who—though generous and brave—was not very knowledgeable: Cardinal Lercaro. He was utterly incapable of resisting the maneuvers of the mealy-mouthed scoundrel that the Neapolitan Vincentian, Bugnini, a man as bereft of culture as he was of basic honesty, soon revealed himself to be.”

— ‘Fr. Louis Bouyer, an important member of the Consilium’
