It is going to be a very exciting week in the history of the CMAA and sacred music generally. The largest colloquium in the program’s history begins in Tuesday, an event that was unexpectedly filled to capacity two months ahead. We hope that everyone benefits from it. Certainly many people have put long hours into the preparation, and we all look forward to it with joy.
You are invited to attend our daily Masses at 10:30am at the Crypt Church of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Washington, D.C.. They begin in Wednesday. On Sunday, the Mass will be at 5:00pm at Old Saint Mary’s in Chinatown, and, on Sunday, the Mass will be at 10:00am in the Crypt Church.
This project is very exciting. Please try out “Caeciliae,” a new Gregorian chant font developed by Bro. Matthew Spencer, OSJ. It is not in official release yet, so if you want to play around with it, consider yourself an alpha/beta tester.
This is a very interesting book from 1953, a preconciliar “Liber cantualis” of sorts, that uses Solesmes notation and includes lovely English translations to the basic chants ordinaries and hymns of the faith. Here we find the musical foundation of a vibrant parish life.
Join us for the Mass of the St. John the Baptist, 5:00pm, June 23, 2007. Here is a flyer.
