CMAA Colloquium XX 2010 from Corpus Christi Watershed on Vimeo.

Beauty and the steel city

Yesterday was the first day of the CMAA’s third annual Summer Chant Intensive with instructor Scott Turkington. Participants come from all over the country and from as far away as Australia. This year’s venue is Duquesne University in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

It didn’t take long for the class to live up to its name. An added bonus this year is the option of two hours of graduate credit in sacred music extended to eligible participants. Graduate credit will also be offered to qualifying students at next week’s Sacred Music Colloquium XX. Find out more about these and other annual CMAA events.

The course will wrap up on Friday with an OF Mass, Latin, with fully sung propers and ordinary in the Church of the Epiphany.

Public Invited to Colloquium Liturgies

The Church Music Association of America is pleased to extend an open invitation to all liturgies and events scheduled to take place at Pittsburgh’s Church of the Epiphany as part of Sacred Music Colloquium XX. The dates are June 21-27, 2010.

This is a unique opportunity to participate actively, internally and externally, in liturgies in which sacred music, Gregorian chant and polyphony (and beyond), resume pride of place in their native setting. Both Ordinary Form (OF) and Extraordinary Form (EF) Masses will be celebrated during the week, as well as Gregorian and polyphonic vespers and night prayer.

Of special note this year: Tuesday’s OF Mass in English with propers and ordinary chants newly composed in the Gregorian tradition by Fr. Samuel Weber, Bruce Ford, and Richard Rice; Tuesday evening’s organ recital by Montreal’s dazzling Isabelle Demers; Saturday’s EF Mass consisting in a chanted ordinary (Mass IX) and polyphonic propers by William Byrd, and Sunday’s outing of Schubert’s Mass in G with organ and orchestra. Other treasures of the week include Palestrian’s Missa Brevis, polyphonic vespers with music of the Roman renaissance,and and array of motets by Taverner, Tallis, Lasso, Guerrero, Bruckner and more.
