Download or read book The Liturgical Organist written by Thomas Keith Hamilton and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sunday after Sunday, liturgical organists are faced with the challenge of providing music for liturgy. While hymns, psalms, musical settings of liturgical texts, choral anthems and responses are often made clear in their choice due to the marriage of text and music, choosing music outside of those parameters is a challenge. Music that happens prior to worship as the community gathers, music to accompany ritual actions such as the presentation of the offering or the distribution of the Eucharist, and music that sends people on their way at the end of the service is not something to be taken lightly. Such choices are important and can have a significant effect on the over-all tenor of the liturgy. Many organists have concluded the most efficient and effective solution is to seek pieces which are based on the hymns sung by the assembly and trust that a cohesive liturgical whole has been created. This essay attempts to move beyond that notion into the realm of solo organ literature that is not derived from a chorale or hymn melody. Each piece of music carries its own aesthetic characteristics, and the task of the liturgical organist is to determine how those characteristics can best be incorporated into a given religious celebration.

Download or read book Sacred Treasure written by Joseph Peter Swain and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the discussions and debates surrounding liturgical music of the past fifty years, music theorists, critics, and historians have contributed little, and their counsel has rarely been sought. Whenever the matter of liturgical music arises, most often in parishes, but sometimes in episcopal conferences or in the academy or in Vatican documents, the nature of the music, as music, almost never affects the discussion. With Sacred Treasure, Joseph Swain, a distinguished musicologist and accomplished performer, attempts to change that. He offers a theory for building authentic traditions of liturgical music for Roman Catholic parishes. This book is an exercise in pragmatic music criticism. By providing a rational basis for evaluating the essential issues, Swain seeks to show how a spiritually wholesome stability might supplant the confusion. Sacred Treasure shows how the hard facts of music must be taken into account in any holistic conception and any lasting form of liturgical music.

Book excerpt: "Police chief Hayden Konig is a lucky man. He's wealthy, he enjoys his work, he has a loving wife, good friends, and lives in the quaintest, most picturesque town in the North Carolina mountains. With all this going for him, you d think he d be satisfied. He's not. He longs to be a writer, a hard-boiled, noir detective word-slinger worthy of the 1939 Underwood No. 5 sitting on his desk a typewriter once owned by Raymond Chandler. You'd think a machine like this would help. It doesn't. As a detective, Chief Konig is at the top of his game. As the organist at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, he can play with the best of them. But as a writer, Hayden produces more bad prose than the St. Germaine Garden Club s annual poetry review. ... What do the bones of an ancient king, a scoodle of skunks, a farm auction, the best Christmas parade ever, and an obnoxious deacon have to do with the dead body floating in Lake Tannenbaum? Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. It's up to Hayden to pull all the clues together like two cousins in a Kentucky hayloft. After all, Epiphany is right around the corner!"--P. [4] of cover.
Download or read book The Catholic Organist s Quarterly Fall 2016 written by Noel Jones and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-25 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After spending many years in abeyance, there are clear signs that the organ is making a welcome return to Roman Catholic liturgical life. Parishes across the country are installing new organs and hiring professional organists, and Diocesan Music Directors are providing training and support for or- ganists in their areas.This development is as it should be. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy promulgated by the Second Vatican Council made it quite clear that the organ was the instrument of choice for the liturgy of the Church:Organum tubulatum in Ecclesia latina magno in honore habeatur, tamquam instrumentum musi- cum traditionale, cuius sonus Ecclesiae caeremoniis mirum addere valet splendorem, atque mentes ad Deum ac superna vehementer extollere."The pipe organ is to be held in high esteem in the Latin Church, for it is the traditional musical instrument, the sound of which can add a wonderful splendor to the Church's ceremonies and powerfully lifts up men's minds to God and higher things".Sacrosanctum Concilium, Chapter VI, Paragraph 120However, the organ, like any instrument, can be a two-edged sword. While it can lift up the mind "to God and higher things" it is also possible for it to cre- ate a dismal experience where the mind is focused on anything but God. Like every church musician, an organist has a sacred responsibility to ensure that the organ performs its true function so that the faithful are edified and brought to devotion.As a Catholic Church organist myself, I have long lamented the lack of easily accessible collections of organ music composed specically for the Catholic liturgy, or which is particularly suitable for it. A col- league of mine puts it, "when I hear the organ play in church, I want to know that I'm in a Catholic Church."I know what he means. There is an aesthetic that is uniquely Catholic, and this goes beyond the liturgical seasons and the melodies that are appropriate for those seasons. THere is organ music that helps create an aesthetic space for prayer and contempla- tion, allowing the faithful to focus on the presence of Christ in the Sacrament, music which does not drawattention to itself, but which supports the unity of the Body of Christ in the Celebration of the Eucharist: the sum and center of our life. However, this music also has a role to play in defining the seasons of the year, underscoring celebrations, and providing a point of comfort in times of trial.The Verdin Company has a close relationship with the Catholic Church, and with our bells, carillons, and organs, we offer every church a unique collection of resources.However, installing organs is not enough; that's only part of the story. We need to equip those charged with their use. We believe our responsibility goes way beyond the sale and installation of bells or organs. We want to enable those installations to be used in the fullest way possible.Hence the VERDIN CATHOLIC ORGANIST'S QUARTERLY.Noel Jones has worked tirelessly to produce a volume of music, all of which can be played by organists of modest experience (none of it requires pedals), and which is all of excellent quality. The music is laid out in sections for the various seasons of the year, but it goes without saying that most of it (with some obvious exceptions) is suitable for many different times of the year.It should also be noted that these pieces can be played in a variety of ways. I encourage organists to try them fast and slow, loud and quiet, so that they may be used in the liturgy in different ways.The Catholic Organist's Quarterly will be published four times a year: January, April, July, and October. Each one will contain music that is appropriate for that particular period, but much which could be played at any time. Subscribers to the Quarterly will soon build a library of fine organ music that they can call on for years to come.Neil Weston The Verdin Company Cincinnati, OH June 2016
