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

    Luis Martínez Must Go!
    Sevilla Cathedral (entry dated 13 December 1564): The chapter orders Luis Martínez, a cathedral chaplain, to stay away from the choirbook-stand when the rest of the singers gather around it to sing polyphony—the reason being that “he throws the others out of tune.” [Excerpt from “The Life of Father Francisco Guerrero.”]
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Urgent! • We Desperately Need Funds!
    A few days ago, the president of Corpus Christi Watershed posted this urgent appeal for funds. Please help us make sure we’re never forced to place our content behind a paywall. We feel it’s crucial that 100% of our content remains free to everyone. We’re a tiny 501(c)3 public charity, entirely dependent upon the generosity of small donors. We have no endowment and no major donors. We run no advertisements and have no savings. We beg you to consider donating $4.00 per month. Thank you!

    “Booklet of Eucharistic Hymns” (16 pages)
    I was asked to create a booklet for my parish to use during our CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION on 22 June 2025. Would you be willing to look over the DRAFT BOOKLET (16 pages) I came up with? I tried to include a variety of hymns: some have a refrain; some are in major, others in minor; some are metered, others are plainsong; some are in Spanish, some are in Latin, but most are in English. Normally, we’d use the Brébeuf Hymnal—but we can’t risk having our congregation carry those heavy books all over the city to various churches.
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Quick Thoughts

    Pope Pius XII Hymnal?
    Have you ever heard of the Pope Pius XII Hymnal? It’s a real book, published in the United States in 1959. Here’s a sample page so you can verify with your own eyes it existed.
    —Corpus Christi Watershed
    “Hybrid” Chant Notation?
    Over the years, many have tried to ‘simplify’ plainsong notation. The O’Fallon Propers attempted to simplify the notation—but ended up making matters worse. Dr. Karl Weinmann tried to do the same in the time of Pope Saint Pius X by replacing each porrectus. You can examine a specimen from his edition and see whether you agree he complicated matters. In particular, look at what he did with éxsules fílii Hévae.
    —Corpus Christi Watershed
    Antiphons Don’t Match?
    A reader wants to know why the Entrance and Communion antiphons in certain publications deviate from what’s prescribed by the GRADUALE ROMANUM published after Vatican II. Click here to read our answer. The short answer is: the Adalbert Propers were never intended to be sung. They were intended for private Masses only (or Masses without music). The “Graduale Parvum,” published by the John Henry Newman Institute of Liturgical Music in 2023, mostly uses the Adalbert Propers—but sometimes uses the GRADUALE text: e.g. Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul (29 June).

Random Quote

“Ordained a diocesan priest on 7 October 1827, Guéranger was quickly named a canon (a member of the cathedral chapter of Tours). Around 1830, he demonstrated his interest in the liturgy when he began to use the Roman Missal and texts for the Divine Office, unlike many of his colleagues, who still made use of the diocesan editions commonly in use in pre-Revolutionary France.”
