Psallite Sapienter
May 15, 2008 · 1 Comment
By way of The New Liturgical Movement, there is a new book available called Psallite Sapienter: A Musician’s Practical Guide to the 1962 Missal.
I find it interesting because
It covers the types of sung Masses and and what is required of the organist and choir, and the expectations and needs of the full liturgical year, plus weddings, funerals, and Benediction.
… according to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.
As I am the Cantor for the Gregorian Chant Choir of our FSSP Parish, this book provides some much needed insight as to our role within the Solemn Liturgical Action. For the past 6 years, we have been very reactive (as opposed to proactive) to the musical needs of our parish. As our proficiency has grown, we have become more comfortable with this role, but still very apprehensive as to the timing of the music within the Mass.
I look forward to obtaining this book.
