    Sacred Music “Pro Tip”
    Our website welcomes millions of visitors, yet surprisingly few find their way to the actual blog page itself. If you are among them, bookmark it today. Numerous articles and resources await you—but these treasures belong to those who explore each article, not merely its title. The headline is only the doorway; the substance lies within.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Music List • (29th Sund. Ordinary Time)
    Readers have expressed interest in seeing the ORDER OF MUSIC which I created for this coming Sunday, the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A). If such a thing interests you, feel free to download it as a PDF file. The INTROIT for this Sunday explains why this Sunday is called “Apple Sunday.” As we approach the end of the liturgical year, most of the INTROITS seem to be in Mode III or Mode IV, which are ‘haunting’ tones.

    “Holy, Holy, Holy” transposed lower

    A simple setting based on a work by Canon Jules Vyverman.

Quick Thoughts

    PDF • “Singers’ Booklet” (26 Pages)

    This is a ‘messy’ booklet in terms of its formatting, but it’s only ever seen by the singers—not members of the congregation.

    Preface of Saint Joseph (added by the pope)

    You can see the “Præfatio de Sancto Joseph” inserted directly into the priest’s missal.

    “Predictable Rhymes?” • A Follow Up
    We received considerable correspondence regarding my article, Two Ways to Defile a Hymn. More specifically, what really raised certain people’s hackles was its follow-up article dealing with the keyboard accompaniment for the CHRIST THE KING HYMNAL. But to quote Eliza Doolittle: “Have I said anything I oughtn’t?” Please examine this PDF file and see whether you agree. Were the editors of the BRÉBEUF HYMNAL incorrect to insist upon sophisticated and clever rhymes, rather than mind-numbingly predictable rhymes?
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“The Night Office—Nocturns or Matins—except for Holy Week, Easter Octave, and Christmas, has never appeared in the Vatican edition. The larger part of the mediaeval repertory for the Office thus remains still unpublished in the Vatican edition, and is likely to remain so, for the obvious reason that almost no cathedral chapters or monastic choirs sing the Night Office regularly today.”

— John Merle Boe (1968)
