Music at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph

2019-2020

Welcome to a new season of sacred music at The Cathedral of Saint

Joseph. Music has always played an important role in the life of this

Cathedral parish.

Included in this booklet is a listing of music to be sung by assembly,

cantors and the Cathedral Choir, highlighting each Sunday, feast or

liturgical season.

“Sing to the Lord a new song: sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, and bless his

Name: proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.”

Psalm 96:1-2

“When there is devotional music, God is always at hand with His gracious presence.”

J.S. Bach

“Music for the liturgy must be carefully chosen and prepared.”

Sing to the Lord (Music in Divine Worship) Article 122

“The treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care.

Choirs must be diligently developed, especially in cathedral churches.”

Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, Article 114

“Music is the means of recapturing the original joy and beauty of Paradise.”

St. Hildegard von Bingen

“All other things being equal, Gregorian chant holds pride of place because it is proper to the

Roman Liturgy. Other types of sacred music, in particular polyphony, are in no way excluded,

provided that they correspond to the spirit of the liturgical action and that they foster

the participation of the faithful.”

LENT

The annual Lenten season is the fitting time to climb the holy mountain of Easter. The Lenten season

has a double character, namely to prepare both catechumens and faithful to celebrate the paschal

mystery. The catechumens, both with the rite of elections and scrutinizes, and by catechesis, are

prepared for the celebration of the sacraments of Christian initiation; the faithful, ever more attentive

to the Word of God and prayer, prepare themselves by penance, for the renewal of their baptismal

promises (Caremoniale episcoporum, 249).

Note: During the seasons of Lent and Easter, “Verbum domini” is chanted following the first and

second readings. The Cantor should remind both the celebrant and lector prior to Mass.

HOLY WEEK AND EASTER TRIDUUM

Christ redeemed us all and gave perfect glory to God principally through his paschal mystery: dying

he destroyed our death and rising he restored our life. Therefore, the Easter triduum of the passion

and resurrection of Christ is the culmination of the entire liturgical year. Thus the solemnity of Easter

has the same kind of preeminence in the liturgical year that Sunday has in the week. The Easter

triduum begins with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, reaches its high point in the Easter vigil,

and closes with evening prayer on Easter Sunday (General Norms, 18-19).

Sunday 5 April 2020 Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

On this day the Church recalls the entrance of Christ the Lord into Jerusalem to accomplish his

Paschal Mystery. Accordingly, the memorial of this entrance of the Lord takes place at all masses, by means of the Procession or the Solemn Entrance before the principal mass or the Simple Entrance

before other Masses. The Solemn Entrance, but not the Procession, may be repeated before other

Masses that are usually celebrated with a large gathering of people. It is desirable that, where neither the Procession nor the Solemn Entrance can take place, there be a sacred celebration of the

Word of God on the messianic entrance and on the Passion of the Lord, either on Saturday evening or on Sunday at a convenient time.

Tuesday 7 April 2020 Tuesday of Holy Week / Chrism Mass

All Christians are anointed because all are filled with the Spirit’s gifts for the building up of the church and the church’s service to the world. In every local church one Christian presides in love

and orchestrates the church’s ministry. This is the bishop, or chief pastor. It is not surprising, therefore, that the most ancient liturgical witnesses designate the bishop as the consecrator of the

sacramental oils. Although priests once blessed the oils of the catechumens and the sick and may do

so in some circumstances, only the bishop may consecrate the chrism with which the baptized are sealed at confirmation and ordination. This rite is one of the last rites of preparation before the

Triduum begins. Before the local church baptizes, it prepares the chrism which will be used in the

Vigil. This celebration has always retained a special character of collegiality. Even in the centuries

when Eucharistic concelebration had disappeared from the church’s life, the ritual for the blessing and consecration of oils retained strong elements which reminded all that ministry in the church is

never the work of an individual but part of a community of ministers of different gifts and

responsibilities. The present celebration of the rite has been restored as full concelebration of the bishop with his clergy and with the full participation of the laity.

Saturday 11 April 2020 Holy Saturday | The Great Vigil of Easter


On Holy Saturday the Church waits at the Lord’s tomb in prayer and fasting, meditation on his Passion and Death and on his Descent into Hell, and awaiting his Resurrection. The Church abstains

from the Sacrifice of the Mass, with the sacred table left bare, until after the solemn Vigil, that is, the

anticipation by night of the Resurrection, when the time comes for paschal joys, the abundance of which overflows to occupy fifty days. Holy Communion may only be given on this day as Viaticum.

The Great Vigil of Easter, 8:00 p.m.

By most ancient tradition, this is the night of keeping vigil for the Lord (Ex 12:42), in which, following

the Gospel admonition (Lk 12:35-37), the faithful, carrying lighted lamps in their hands, should be like those looking for the Lord when he returns, so that at his coming he may find them awake and

have them sit at his table. Of this night’s Vigil, which is the greatest and most noble of all solemnities,

there is to be only celebration in each church. It is arranged, moreover, in such a way that after the Lucernarium and Easter Proclamation (which constitutes the first part of this Vigil), Holy Church

meditates on the wonders the Lord God has done for his people from the beginning, trusting in his word and promise (the second part, that is, the Liturgy of the Word) until, as day approaches, with

new members reborn in Baptism (the third part), the Church is called to the table the Lord has

prepared for his people, the memorial of his Death and Resurrection until he comes again (the fourth part).

PART I: LUCERNARIUM

The Blessing of the Fire and Preparation of the Candle

PROCESSION: When the candle has been lit, one of the ministers takes burning coals from the firs

and places them in the thurible, and the Priest puts incense into it in the usual way. The Deacon or, if

there is no Deacon, another suitable minister, takes the paschal candle and a procession forms. The thurifer with the smoking thurible precedes the Deacon or other minister who carries the paschal

candle. After them follows the Priest with the ministers and the people, all holding in their hands unlit candles.

At the door of the church, the Deacon or other suitable minister, standing and raising up the candle,

sings: Priest/Deacon intones: “The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.”

The Easter Proclamation (Exsultet)

46

PART II: LITURGY OF THE WORD

There are seven readings from the Old Testament and two from the New (the Epistle and Gospel), all of which should be read whenever this can be done, so that the character of the Vigil, which demands

an extended period of time, may be preserved. Nevertheless, where more serious pastoral circumstances demand it, the number of readings from the Old Testament may be reduced, always

bearing in mind that the reading of the Word of God is a fundamental part of this Easter Vigil. At

least three readings should be read from the Old Testament, both from the Law and from the Prophets, and their respective Responsorial Psalms should be sung. Never, moreover, should the

reading of chapter 14 of Exodus with its canticle be omitted. Following each reading from the Old

Testament the Responsorial Psalm is sung. Then all rise, the Bishop says, “Let us pray” and, after all have prayed for a while in silence, he says the prayer corresponding to the reading.

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 104 – Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. (Kelly)

EASTER SEASON

During the Easter Season the Church extends the joy and gladness of Easter day throughout several

weeks. The Solemnity of Easter itself, and in particular the Great Easter Vigil, is the highpoint of the

liturgical year. Since the celebration of the Easter feast is of such pre-eminence, the Church extends

that celebration for seven days, called Easter Week. Each day of Easter Week is a solemnity of high

rank, and rituals peculiar to Easter (like the double “Alleluia” sung at the dismissal) are continued

each day during Easter Week. The importance of the “Week of Easters” is such that the Church

multiplies it seven times seven, creating a season of joy and festivity. Thus, the Easter Season is

highly symbolic in length, a season of 7 times 7 days, culminating in the descent of the Holy Spirit at

Pentecost (pente meaning “fiftieth”).

Music Notes: During the Easter Season, the Rite of Sprinkling will be used at all weekend Masses in

addition to the Verbum Domini after the readings. The Cathedral Choir will also sing

the Gospel acclamation versicle through Corpus Christi.
