MUSIC IN CATHOLIC WORSHIP
OK, I'll claim post number 800 now! ;)
This Monday, yes folks, Columbus Day (Thanksgiving Day for our Canadian friends) is the day that the US Bishops begin consultation on the revision (hopefully, and in the right direction) of the U.S. documents Music in Catholic Worship and Liturgical Music Today.
Good news - two of the scheduled speakers will be the President and Vice President of CMAA!
Looking back at this document today, especially in light of the progress currently being made in accomplishing what the Second Vatican Council actually intended concerning music, one is struck by the notable ways in which the American document is contradicted by the teaching of Musicam Sacram, the General Instruction on the Roman Missal, and the statements by John Paul II and Benedict XVI concerning music.
The above quote comes from this post from Musica Sacra (CMAA's official blog). The post also points out three key points that support the above italicized paragraph. It's an excellent read.

WE ARE THE PROBLEM
From Domini Sumus:
Yes, I am the problem with the Church and I am proud of it. If you believe that scripture and the prayers of the Mass don't need to be secularized, that reception of the Eucharist should be reserved for Catholics, and that the rubrics and Church doctrines are meant to be followed, then you are the problem with the Catholic Church too. Congratulations!
Same goes with music. Consider me part of the problem as well - and proud of it!
Peace,
BMP

MADELEINE GOES TO ROME
Hat tip to Jeffrey Tucker at the NLM.
Next month, 80 students from the Madeleine Choir School will be going to Rome.
Full details here (note: they got one paragraph wrong - error in bold)
When it was time to rehearse "Ave Verum," whose words are in Italian (correction: Latin), Malinka urged the students to be careful of their pronunciation. "You have to be careful to say vehrgeenay, not vurgunay," she reminded them about the Italian (correction: Latin) word virgine. Otherwise, those folks in Rome might say, "They must be an American choir."
They're going over to St. Francis in Assisi as well. The iPadre was there not too long ago. He's got the podcasts to prove it!

For those readers of our blog who do not yet know about the Church Music Association of America, you may want to check out the website at www.musicasacra.com. For $30 annually, you can become a member and receive the excellent journal Sacred Music. The CMAA journal is actually the only journal I do read cover-to-cover, since all of the articles contained in each issue has specifically to do with our work as church musicians and choir directors. Plus, the CMAA meets yearly for its Sacred Music Colloquium, a week-long session of chant and polyphony study and discussion of "what's going on now" in the realm of sacred music. As a colloquium participant (full, active and conscious, of course), you will meet other directors of music, organists, and choral singers from around the nation (the world, too). Join the CMAA. Make your parish join CMAA. One Fatima Church parishioner read my report in the Diocesan newspaper about last summer's CMAA Colloquium at Catholic University in Washington, D.C. and became so excited to learn that chant and polyphony were still being studied and fostered for use at Mass, that she joined the CMAA as well as the choir!
