FSSP Guadalajara • “Conferencia de Musica Sagrada”

Andrea Leal · July 12, 2022

OR THE VERY FIRST time, FSSP Guadalara will putting on a sacred music conference to train musicians for the Traditional Latin Mass from July 10-16th. Experts in Gregorian chant, organ, and choir direction will lead the classes. FSSP Seminarian Jacob Kasak, titular organist for the FSSP seminary Our Lady of Guadalupe in Denton, Nebraska will be present. I will leave the description below without translation since this is a Spanish-language conference and those who are interested will be able to fully understand:

El programa musical de la Cuasi parroquia de San Pedro en Cadenas que está administrada por la FSSP en Guadalajara, México, ha preparado el Primer Curso de capacitación litúrgico-musical para la misa tradicional.

México y en particular Guadalajara cuanta con una gran tradición musical en general y la que concierne a la que se compone para el servicio litúrgico no es la excepción: desde los archivos catedralicios Virreinales pasando por la tradición musical mexicana del siglo XIX y la escuelas de composición y órgano que dieron origen a lo aún hoy podemos oír en la Santa Misa.

Esta tradición unida al magisterio de la Iglesia es la base de lo que se verá en esta primera edición del curso, cuya finalidad es adiestrar de una manera práctica y concisa a los músicos que en el resto del país están interesados en poder acompañar dignamente en la misa tradicional, pero que por obvias razones hay un sesgo importante en su formación.

Los expositores serán los directores del mismo programa musical: Aida Orozco, Omar Padilla y José María López Valencia, expertos en Canto Gregoriano, órgano, composición, canto y dirección coral, que junto al seminarista Jacob Kasak organista titular del Seminario de Ntra. Sra. De Guadalupe (FSSP) de Denton USA y músico profesional de carrera, que estará en Guadalajara especialmente para este evento. Juan Pablo Orozco joven organista también estará compartiendo su experiencia.

Comenzará el domingo 10 de julio y terminará el sábado 16, Las ponencias y los cursos serán por la mañana y por la tarde siempre con la participación en la santa misa. El repertorio que se abordará será el clásico en la parte organística y en la parte coral y vocal será música sagrada mexicana en general sin descuidar los grandes maestros universales.

Quick Thoughts

    Introit • Candlemas (2 February)
    “Candlemas” • Our choir sang on February 2nd, and here's a live recording of the beautiful INTROIT: Suscépimus Deus. We had very little time to rehearse, but I think it has some very nice moments. I promise that by the 8th Sunday after Pentecost it will be perfect! (That Introit is repeated on the 8th Sunday after Pentecost.) We still need to improve, but we're definitely on the right track!
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Simplified Antiphons • “Candlemas”
    Anyone who desires simplified antiphons (“psalm tone versions”) for 2 February, the Feast of the Purification—which is also known as “Candlemas” or the Feast of the Presentation—may freely download them. The texts of the antiphons are quite beautiful. From “Lumen Ad Revelatiónem Géntium” you can hear a live excerpt (Mp3).

    Once, after Mass, my pastor said he really loved the hymn we did. I said: “Father, that's Holy God, We Praise Thy Name—you never heard it before?” He replied: “But the way you did it was terrific. For once, it didn't sound like a funeral dirge!” Last Sunday, our volunteer choir sang that hymn. I think the tempo was just about right … but what do you think?

Random Quote

There is a lack of that kind of organization which favors mature judgment. Move on, move on, get it out. Schemata are multiplied without ever arriving at a considered form. The system of discussion is bad … Often the schemata arrive just before the discussions. Sometimes, and in important matters, such as the new anaphoras, the schema was distributed the evening before the discussion was to take place … Father Bugnini has only one interest: press ahead and finish.

— Cardinal Antonelli (Peritus during the Second Vatican Council)
