Music at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph 2018-2019

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.”

episcoporum, 249).

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 14 April 2019 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 16 April 2019 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.

Solemn Intercessions [The Liturgy of the Word concludes with the Solemn Intercessions, which take place in this way: the

Deacon, if a Deacon is present, or if he is not, a lay minister, stands at the ambo, and sings or says the

invitation in which the intention is expressed. Then all pray in silence for a while, and afterwards the

Priest, standing at the chair or, if appropriate, at the altar, with hands extended, sings or says the prayer.

The faithful may remain either kneeling or standing throughout the entire period of the prayers.]

PART II: ADORATION OF THE HOLY CROSS The Deacon accompanied by ministers, or another suitable minister, goes to the sacristy, from which, in

procession, accompanied by two ministers with lighted candles, he carries the Cross, covered with a violet

veil, through the church to the middle of the sanctuary. The Priest, standing before the altar and facing the

people, receives the Cross, uncovers a little of its upper part and elevates it while beginning the Ecce

lingum Crucis (Behold the wood of the Cross). He is assisted in singing by the Deacon or, if need be, by

the choir. All respond, Come, let us adore. At the end of the singing, all kneel and for a brief moment

adore in silence, while the Priest stand and holds the Cross raised.

Then the Priest uncovers the right arm of the Cross and again, raising up the Cross, begins, Behold the

wood of the Cross, and everything takes place as above. Finally, he uncovers the Cross entirely and,

raising it up, he begins the invitation Behold the wood of the Cross a third time and everything takes place

like the first time.

Saturday 20 April 2019 Holy Saturday / The Great Vigil of Easter

8:00 a.m. Morning Prayer – Consult separate worship aid

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.”

Cantor and Assembly: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.”

The Priest lights his candle from the flame of the paschal candle. Then the Deacon processes to the

middle of the darkened church and, standing and raising up the candle, sings a second time:

“The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.”

ALL: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.”

All light their candles from the Easter candle and continue in procession. When the Deacon arrives

before the altar, he stands facing the people, raises up the candle and sings a third time:

“The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.”

ALL: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.”

The Easter Proclamation (Exsultet)

45

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.

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: Rite of Sprinkling will be utilized at all weekend Masses in addition to Verbum Domini after

the readings. The Cathedral Choir will also sing the Gospel acclamation versicle through Corpus Christi.
