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.”

Es tiempo para otro RESUCITÓ, Canta Con Júbilo

Veronica Moreno · May 5, 2024

ODOS LOS Mexicanos Católicos modernos hemos crecido con las mismas canciones en la Misa (el “Pescador de Hombres” y el “Pan de Vida”). Nosotros los México-Americanos en los Estados Unidos, tenemos como un par de pulmones aquí en el pecho: un pulmón en inglés y el otro pulmón en español. En muchas parroquias, solamente “se reúnen” los dos pulmones en las grandes fiestas de Navidad, Pascua, o Primeras Comuniones. Así crecimos mi esposo y yo.

Hace diez años, encontramos la Misa Tradicional, y ahora tenemos el latín en nuestra vida litúrgica.

Entre mi propia familia y la de mis suegros, casi la mitad de nuestras familias combinadas asisten a la Misa en español. Recientemente, nos reunimos en “la Quinceañera” de mi hija,* y fue la primera vez que muchos de ellos asistieron a una Misa Tradicional en latín. Fue una Misa Rezada [Low Mass], pero es muy claro que hay muchísimas diferencias entre las Misas modernas en español (y en inglés).

Pero no tiene que ser así. Y para muchos jóvenes, no será así.

El Señor Ostrowski y nuestro equipo hemos empezado a trabajar para traer un nuevo cancionero (himnario) al español, y estamos muy orgullosos de traerles algunos de los primeros frutos. Y es aún más especial porque en estas grabaciones, está esa niñita a quien le celebramos sus quince años hace un par de meses. Por mucho tiempo, yo le he ayudado al señor Ostrowski con sus grabaciones como una alto. Ahora me acompaña mi hija cantando el soprano.

Pero antes de oír toda la grabación, por favor oigan solamente el refrán que dice:

Resucitó, resucitó, mi Señor,
resucitó mi esperanza.

Casi todos mis amigos hispanohablantes conocen el RESUCITÓ, ALELUYA que ha llenado las parroquias durante las últimas décadas. Si alguien canta los primeros tonos en una Misa en español en cualquiera parroquia, todas las abuelitas, y hasta sus nietos, pueden cantar el estribillo. Espero que no me acusen de cometer una herejía al proponer que, quizá podemos tener otros “Resucitós”. ¡Si no me creen, oigan este hermoso estribillo!

*  enlace mp3 • SOLAMENTE ESTRIBILLO

¡Qué hermoso refrán entre versos de profunda belleza! Miren un verso de esta canción:

Brille tu lámpara, brille con fuerza tu llama
Cesen tus lágrimas al contemplar su mirada.

Al inglés lo traducimos como, “Let your lamp shine, let it shine brightly, your flame, / Cease your tears as you contemplate His gaze.” Esto es nuestro grito pascual, que Jesús ha resucitado, que lo podemos ver, ¡Aleluia, nuestra esperanza resucitó!

* The Quinceañera Catholic Mass is a tradition for some Spanish-speaking cultures to a) organize a Catholic Mass in thanksgiving for a young girl’s transition into adulthood and b) to host the biggest fiesta of that girl’s life. In our case, we had a tiny Mass and a tiny lunch, but a whole lot of love for that girl.

    2-Voice Arrangement for Lent
    Those seeking a two-voice arrangement for LENT and PASSIONTIDE should click here and scroll down. It’s based on number 775 in the Brébeuf Hymnal, with an enchanting melody written by Kevin Allen (the legendary American composer of sacred music). That text—“Pendens In Crucis Cornibus”—is often used for the Feast of our Lady of Sorrows. That link is important because, in addition to the musical score, it provides free rehearsal videos for each individual voice: something volunteer choirs appreciate!

    “Sanctus VIII” • Organ Accompaniment
    A few days ago, I composed this organ harmonization for SANCTUS VIII. This Mass is traditionally called Missa de ángelis or “Mass of the angels.” In French, it is Messe de Anges. You can evaluate my attempt to simultaneously accompany myself on the pipe organ (click here) while singing the melody. My parish is currently singing this setting.

    Music List • (5th Sund. Ordinary Time)
    Readers have expressed interest in perusing the ORDER OF MUSIC I’ve prepared for this coming Sunday, 8 February 2026, which is the 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A). If such a thing interests you, feel free to download it as a PDF file. You will probably notice it isn’t as ‘complete’ or ‘spiffy’ as usual, owing to some difficulties which took place this week.

    PDF Chart • “Plainsong Rhythm”
    I will go to my grave without understanding the lack of curiosity so many people have about the rhythmic modifications made by Dom André Mocquereau. For example, how can someone examine this single sheet comparison chart and at a minimum not be curious about the differences? Dom Mocquereau basically creates a LONG-SHORT LONG-SHORT rhythmic pattern—in spite of enormous and overwhelming manuscript evidence to the contrary. That’s why some scholars referred to his method as “Neo-Mensuralist” or “Neo-Mensuralism.”

    PDF • “O Come All Ye Faithful” (Simplified)
    I admire the harmonization of “Adeste Fideles” by David Willcocks (d. 2015), who served as director of the Royal College of Music (London, England). In 2025, I was challenged to create a simplified arrangement for organists incapable of playing the authentic version at tempo. The result was this simplified keyboard arrangement (PDF download) based on the David Willcocks version of “O Come All Ye Faithful.” Feel free to play through it and let me know what you think.

Random Quote

“I left music college swearing never to write another note again … It was during the mid-1980s when esoteric and cerebral avant-garde music was still considered the right kind of music to be writing.”

— James MacMillan
