Gregorian Chant Lives . . . .

The Recovering Choir Director tells us about the rebirth of chant and a new article detailing how it should be used in Mass. This is a fascinating development in Catholicism and deserves our attention.

His commentary:

. . . . the proposals contained therein, it deserves to be given a wide reading. Most interesting are the proposals and solutions that he gives concerning a revival of Gregorian chant at even the smallest chapel, excerpted below.

At the moment, his proposed solutions concerning use of the vernacular within a strictly liturgical context would seem to be better suited for the 1970 Missal. However, others seem quite sensible to incorporate into both forms. His apologia for reviving the sung Office is not to be overlooked either.
