  • SACRED Music at POTHE

    • gregorian chant manuscript
    • ABOUT THE MUSIC     
      Congregational singing is encouraged and expected at POTHE.     

      According to Joseph Jungmann

      "music is not merely addition to and adornment of the liturgy; it is itself liturgy,
      an integrating element, which belongs to the complete form of the liturgy
      ." 


      In other words, you do not sing at MASS. 

      You sing the MASS. 

      Therefore the Eucharistic Acclamations, whether they come from Mass of St Frances Cabrini, Mass of Spirit and Grace, Mass of St Francis, or Belmont Mass (sung during Advent and Lent)  are one of the many ways you can actively participate in the liturgy.  

      Other ways include singing the sung responses to the celebrant's "The Lord be with you"... to which you respond..."and with your spirit"....    or singing the Psalm Responses and Gospel Acclamation. 

      And of course you are free to abstain from singing if you prefer to worship silently. 

      The old maxim, however, comes to mind: 

      "He who sings, prays twice."  


      If sung “well” (with sincerity and love), the words of a practitioner’s prayer
      and the music they sing each simultaneously constitute acts of worship.

      In fact, they form a gestalt expression of devotion, the whole becoming greater than the sum of its parts. This merger is so effective that the
      “… combination of sacred music and words, … forms a necessary or integral part of solemn liturgy.”

    • Why a new Mass Setting for POTHE?
      • NEW MASS SETTING 
        NEW Eucharistic Acclamations ORDINARY TIME- FALL 2020
        Mass of St Frances of Cabrini by Kevin Keil

           
        It's been 10 years since the new translation of the Roman Missal.  In that time, POTHE has learned 3 new Mass settings:  Mass of St Francis by Paul Taylor (which, by the way, was the Diocesan-wide Mass Setting disseminated before we clustered);  Mass of Spirit and Grace by Ricky Manalo;  and Belmont Mass by Christopher Walker. 

        It's time for a new one.  

        Here's my thinking:  Even though the congregation is not able to fully participate right now due to the singing restrictions it doesn't mean the Assembly can't learn through hearing.  (My
        Making Music, Praying Twice families know that's called audiation.)  We'll put the burden on the cantors and music ministers right now to teach the Assembly this new setting, bit by bit over the next 8 weeks.  Ideally, you'll hear one new acclamation before Mass and once again as part of the Mass.  The goal is to to train your ear, even though you are singing restricted.  You WILL gain familiarity with this new setting with repeated hearings.   And since the acclamations all hang together musically you will notice that once you hear/know one, the others are much easier to learn.  In two months time, you WILL be singing the new Mass of St Frances Cabrini  (SEE LINKS!!!) - albeit softly and reverently -  behind your mask. 

        For now, the Acclamations we'll learn are: 
        the Holy Holy Holy, the Memorial Acclamation, The Great Amen, (which are the Assembly's parts in the Eucharistic Prayer) and the Agnus Dei/Lamb of God.  Gloria and Our Father will continue to be recited until we feel more comfortable with the level of Covid-spread in our community.  (There are lots of pesky "f"'s - a particularly spit-spraying consonant - in the lengthy texts of the Gloria and Our Father.)

        HAVE A LISTEN TO THE LINKS!!!!

    • Letter of St Frances Cabrini in time of anxiety
      • Letter of St Frances Cabrini:
        I know that this is a time of much anxiety. But, away with anxiety;
        take courage! Place your trust in God and His Holy Mother…
        Prayer is that powerful weapon that must defend and help you, not only now, but throughout your lives. Pray for yourselves, for the persons entrusted to your care, for those dear to you, for society, for the Church. Make prayer a habit, because if you succeed in experiencing the sweetness found in this intimate conversation of the soul with God, there will never be hours of discouragement and despair, nor will clouds long disturb the calm horizon of your souls.
