An excellent series on Church music

“After such a joyful and music-filled week, I’m feeling refreshed and motivated to change the world!” —Participant from 2017

Living the Liturgy requires a little study. Learning Thomistic philosophy opens up new dimensions to the prayers we love so much.

“My wish is that our viewers will walk into Sunday Mass with a new attentiveness…” — Stephanie Scogna
Summer Sacred Music Workshop 2018 in Charlotte, NC!

Why so much deliberation over every choice? Why so much discussion about a single stanza, or even a single word?

Mode 7 is one of the “tricky” psalm tones.

I included several nasty “Medicæa” harmonizations from the 19th century…

The Roman Rite revolves around this sign of our salvation

The Carmelite Sisters at Santa Teresita rarely sing for the public.

The Alto line goes down low a few times—but in those days, men might have sung this.

The Notre Dame Priory continues to attract postulants and may have found a permanent home.

Discussion of horrible things that have (sadly) appeared in Catholic hymnals, such as: “And as we float along through outer space, | Past galaxies aglow in dark’s embrace, | Toward other worlds where brothers may await, | Do care for us now in our weightless state.” (Imprimatur 1966)+

Perhaps the supposed over emphasis on the Liturgy among younger Catholics today is just a response to its devaluation since the 1960s.

Sensational opportunity for Roman Catholic boys of all ages!
