Music at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph

2016 – 2017

Welcome to a new season of sacred music at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph. Music has always played an important role in the life of this Cathedral parish. Included in this booklet is a listing of music to be sung by assembly, cantors and the Cathedral Choir, highlighting each Sunday, feast or liturgical season.

“Sing to the Lord a new song: sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, and bless his Name: proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.”

Psalm 96:1-2

“When there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.” J.S. Bach

“Music for the liturgy must be carefully chosen and prepared.”

Sing to the Lord (Music in Divine Worship) Article 122

“The treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care. Choirs must be diligently developed, especially in cathedral churches.”

Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, Article 114

“Music is the means of recapturing the original joy and beauty of Paradise.” St. Hildegard von Bingen

“All other things being equal, Gregorian chant holds pride of place because it is proper to the Roman Liturgy. Other types of sacred music, in particular polyphony, are in no way excluded, provided that

they correspond to the spirit of the liturgical action and that they foster the participation of the faithful.”

LENT The annual Lenten season is the fitting time to climb the holy mountain of Easter. The Lenten season has a double character, namely to prepare both catechumens and faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery. The catechumens, both with the rite of elections and scrutinizes, and by catechesis, are prepared for the celebration of the sacraments of Christian initiation; the faithful, ever more attentive to the Word of God and prayer, prepare themselves by penance, for the renewal of their baptismal promises (Caremoniale episcoporum, 249). Note: During the seasons of Lent and Easter, “Verbum domini” is chanted following the first and second readings. The Cantor should remind both the celebrant and lector prior to Mass.

HOLY WEEK AND EASTER TRIDUUM Christ redeemed us all and gave perfect glory to God principally through his paschal mystery: dying he destroyed our death and rising he restored our life. Therefore, the Easter triduum of the passion and resurrection of Christ is the culmination of the entire liturgical year. Thus the solemnity of Easter has the same kind of preeminence in the liturgical year that Sunday has in the week. The Easter triduum begins with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, reaches its high point in the Easter vigil, and closes with evening prayer on Easter Sunday (General Norms, 18-19). Sunday 9 April 2017 Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion On this day the Church recalls the entrance of Christ the Lord into Jerusalem to accomplish his Paschal Mystery. Accordingly, the memorial of this entrance of the Lord takes place at all masses, by means of the Procession or the Solemn Entrance before the principal mass or the Simple Entrance before other Masses. The Solemn Entrance, but not the Procession, may be repeated before other Masses that are usually celebrated with a large gathering of people. It is desirable that, where neither the Procession nor the Solemn Entrance can take place, there be a sacred celebration of the Word of God on the messianic entrance and on the Passion of the Lord, either on Saturday evening or on Sunday at a convenient time. Commemoration of the Lord’s Entrance into Jerusalem 10:30 a.m. Mass – Cathedral Choir: Hosanna Filio David (Victoria) Other Masses: Hosanna to the Son of David (Chant) Gospel: Luke 19:28-40 (37ABC) Processional Hymn: All Glory , Laud and Honor [St. Theodulph] First Reading: Isaiah 50:4-7 (38ABC) Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 22 – My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?

Tuesday 11 April 2017 Tuesday of Holy Week / Chrism Mass All Christians are anointed because all are filled with the Spirit’s gifts for the building up of the

church and the church’s service to the world. In every local church one Christian presides in love and orchestrates the church’s ministry. This is the bishop, or chief pastor. It is not surprising, therefore, that the most ancient liturgical witnesses designate the bishop as the consecrator of the sacramental oils. Although priests once blessed the oils of the catechumens and the sick and may do so in some circumstances, only the bishop may consecrate the chrism with which the baptized are sealed at confirmation and ordination. This rite is one of the last rites of preparation before the Triduum begins. Before the local church baptizes, it prepares the chrism which will be used in the Vigil.

This celebration has always retained a special character of collegiality. Even in the centuries when Eucharistic concelebration had disappeared from the church’s life, the ritual for the blessing and consecration of oils retained strong elements which reminded all that ministry in the church is never the work of an individual but part of a community of ministers of different gifts and responsibilities. The present celebration of the rite has been restored as full concelebration of the bishop with his clergy and with the full participation of the laity. Chrism Mass, 6:00 p.m. Procession: Ecce Sacerdos (Vittoria) Behold a great priest, who in his days pleased God. And found the just.

The Priest, standing before the altar and facing the people, receives the Cross, uncovers a little of its upper part and elevates it while beginning the Ecce lingum Crucis (Behold the wood of the Cross). He is assisted in singing by the Deacon or, if need be, by the choir. All respond, Come, let us adore. At the end of the singing, all kneel and for a brief moment adore in silence, while the Priest stand and holds the Cross raised.

Then the Priest uncovers the right arm of the Cross and again, raising up the Cross, begins, Behold the wood of the Cross, and everything takes place as above. Finally, he uncovers the Cross entirely and, raising it up, he begins the invitation Behold the wood of the Cross a third time and everything takes place like the first time.

Saturday 15 April 2017 Holy Saturday / The Great Vigil of Easter 8:00 a.m. Morning Prayer – Consult separate worship aid On Holy Saturday the Church waits at the Lord’s tomb in prayer and fasting, meditation on his Passion and Death and on his Descent into Hell, and awaiting his Resurrection. The Church abstains from the Sacrifice of the Mass, with the sacred table left bare, until after the solemn Vigil, that is, the anticipation by night of the Resurrection, when the time comes for paschal joys, the abundance of which overflows to occupy fifty days. Holy Communion may only be given on this day as Viaticum. The Great Vigil of Easter, 8:00 p.m. By most ancient tradition, this is the night of keeping vigil for the Lord (Ex 12:42), in which, following the Gospel admonition (Lk 12:35-37), the faithful, carrying lighted lamps in their hands, should be like those looking for the Lord when he returns, so that at his coming he may find them awake and have them sit at his table. Of this night’s Vigil, which is the greatest and most noble of all solemnities, there is to be only celebration in each church. It is arranged, moreover, in such a way that after the Lucernarium and Easter Proclamation (which constitutes the first part of this Vigil), Holy Church meditates on the wonders the Lord God has done for his people from the beginning, trusting in his word and promise (the second part, that is, the Liturgy of the Word) until, as day approaches, with new members reborn in Baptism (the third part), the Church is called to the table the Lord has prepared for his people, the memorial of his Death and Resurrection until he comes again (the fourth part). PART I: LUCERNARIUM The Blessing of the Fire and Preparation of the Candle PROCESSION: When the candle has been lit, one of the ministers takes burning coals from the firs and places them in the thurible, and the Priest puts incense into it in the usual way. The Deacon or, if there is no Deacon, another suitable minister, takes the paschal candle and a procession forms. The thurifer with the smoking thurible precedes the Deacon or other minister who carries the paschal candle. After them follows the Priest with the ministers and the people, all holding in their hands unlit candles. At the door of the church, the Deacon or other suitable minister, standing and raising up the candle, sings: Priest/Deacon intones: “The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.” Cantor and Assembly: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.”

The Priest lights his candle from the flame of the paschal candle. Then the Deacon processes to the middle of the darkened church and, standing and raising up the candle, sings a second time:

“The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.” ALL: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.” All light their candles from the Easter candle and continue in procession. When the Deacon arrives before the altar, he stands facing the people, raises up the candle and sings a third time:

“The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.” ALL: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.” The Easter Proclamation (Exsultet)

  44

PART II: LITURGY OF THE WORD There are seven readings from the Old Testament and two from the New (the Epistle and Gospel), all of which should be read whenever this can be done, so that the character of the Vigil, which demands an extended period of time, may be preserved. Nevertheless, where more serious pastoral circumstances demand it, the number of readings from the Old Testament may be reduced, always bearing in mind that the reading of the Word of God is a fundamental part of this Easter Vigil. At least three readings should be read from the Old Testament, both from the Law and from the Prophets, and their respective Responsorial Psalms should be sung. Never, moreover, should the reading of chapter 14 of Exodus with its canticle be omitted. Following each reading from the Old Testament the Responsorial Psalm is sung. Then all rise, the Bishop says, “Let us pray” and, after all have prayed for a while in silence, he says the prayer corresponding to the reading. Reading I: Genesis 1:1-2:2 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 104 – Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. (Kelly) Reading II: Genesis 22:1-18 Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 16 – You are my inheritance, O Lord. (Kelly) Reading III: Exodus 14:15-15:1 Responsorial Psalm: Exodus 15 – Let us sing to the Lord, he has covered himself in glory.

EASTER SEASON During the Easter Season the Church extends the joy and gladness of Easter day throughout several weeks. The Solemnity of Easter itself, and in particular the Great Easter Vigil, is the highpoint of the liturgical year. Since the celebration of the Easter feast is of such pre-eminence, the Church extends that celebration for seven days, called Easter Week. Each day of Easter Week is a solemnity of high rank, and rituals peculiar to Easter (like the double “Alleluia” sung at the dismissal) are continued each day during Easter Week. The importance of the “Week of Easters” is such that the Church multiplies it seven times seven, creating a season of joy and festivity. Thus, the Easter Season is highly symbolic in length, a season of 7 times 7 days, culminating in the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (pente meaning “fiftieth”). Music Notes: During the Easter Season, the Rite of Sprinkling will be used at all weekend Masses in

addition to the Verbum Domini after the readings. The Cathedral Choir will also sing the Gospel acclamation versicle through Corpus Christi.
