Many people have been saddened to discover that the famed Sacred Music Colloquium filled up fully 7 weeks ahead of time, and can no longer accept attendees. Next year, we will plan for accommodations for many more. We regret having to close registration, but there are other workshops listed on our events page. In particular, consider the June 1-2 workshop in Stamford, Connecticut. Details here.
The goal of putting the entire collection of Communion antiphons online, complete with full and notated Psalm verses, has been achieved! See the download page. This is not the only source for fully realizing the ideal communion music environment as recommended in the General Instruction on the Roman Missal. The antiphon can be sung by the schola, with a cantor singing the Psalms, for the full length the communion portion of the Mass. The collection comes with an index for the new Roman Rite. Each piece is a spectacular piece of liturgical music, a great post-ordinary place for the new schola to begin adding authentic Roman Rite music to the Mass. A special thank you is due to Richard Rice, the modern master of chant notation, who put all this together for the CMAA.
