<br />
This year's Chant Weekend was led by Chris Hodkinson of the Schola Gregoriana of Cambridge, and Matthew Ward of Mayfield School. It is sponsored by the Latin Mass Society.<br />
<br />
<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/josephshaw/27468409658/in/album-72157665569147377/" title="IMG_1660"><img alt="IMG_1660" height="463" src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/884/27468409658_999d9888d3.jpg" width="500" /></a><script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>
<br />
<br />
Some of the more experienced singers were able to practice conducting, and took it in turns to conduct in the final Mass of the weekend.<br />

<br />
More than twenty singers attended, a good showing for this event. It amounted to an enormous choir for the Masses, and a big body of singers to sustain Compline and Vespers.<br />
<br />

<br />
Singers attended from the Schola Malverniensis, the LMS Schola of Canning Town, the Schola Abelis of Oxford, the St Bede's Clapham Park choir, and many others.<br />

<br />
<br />
This year's weekend fell on Low Sunday weekend: last year's, and next year's, on the weekend before Palm Sunday (in the EF, Passion Sunday). <b>The dates for 2019 will be 5th to 7th April</b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The training runs in parallel to the St Catherine's Trust Family Retreat, and a number of singers had family members attending that. The Retreat provides an audience and a number of 'live' liturgies for the singers to accompany.<br />

There is a change of tutors to announce: sadly Fr Guy Nichols, who was one of the two tutors last year, can't make it. Instead we will be joined by Matthew Ward, who is Director of Music at Mayfield School.<br />

Dear,<br />
Four hundred fresh, young and for the greater part professionally trained voices revive centuries-old music and texts grandiosely during the International Gregorian Festival of Watou, Belgium.<br />
It is going to be a sparkling and universal event in which 27 scholas and top ensembles from every corner in the world, from Columbia to Australia will take part. Vocal virtuosity is trumps. A large number of participating scholas are professional or semi-professional , which stands for the highest quality level and renewed radiation. Five youth choirs will create an atmosphere of admiration and tenderness.<br />
The Gregorian Festival, organized every three years, evolved in the course of the years to the most important festival in the world for this kind of music. It enjoys an international reputation, and is a unique event.<br />
The central program takes place at Watou, from Wednesday 9 tot Sunday 13 May 2018. The pre-ouvertures at Houtkerque (France), Grimbergen, Poperinge, Koksijde, Antwerp, Brussels, Dunkirk (France), Wervik and Haringhe provide a substantial foretaste from Friday 4<sup>th</sup> May onwards.<br />
Encounter, heartiness and an atmosphere of happiness and friendship form a harmonious unity during this ten day long festival, together with the heavenly voices, the musicality and the breathtaking mysticism, so typical of Gregorian chant.<br />

The main exhibition focuses on fragments featuring musical notation and is complemented by a selection of contemporary watercolour, collage, and paper-pulp relief works by fine artist Janet Boulton.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />The day starts at 10am with talks by Margaret Bent (Oxford), Lisa Colton (Huddersfield), Karl Kügle (Oxford/Utrecht) and Elizabeth Nyikos (Oxford), accompanied by live performances from the Magdalen Academical Clerks. At 12.15 there will be an opportunity to visit <em>Fragments of Note. The Afterlives of Medieval Manuscripts </em>(Magdalen College Old Library) with the curators to see the medieval music manuscript fragments from the College Collections, which include the famous fragments of the 15th-c. ‘Lost Royal Choirbook', copied possibly for the Chapel Royal of King Henry VI. At 14.30, a memorial service for Prof. David Wulstan will be held in St Peter’s College Chapel. Members of the <em>Plainsong and Medieval Music Society </em>are cordially invited to attend.

I've just purchased a read an intriguing, short book on the restoration of rare, late-16th century printed Gradual: a collection of chants for the Church's liturgical year. The Gradual in question was beautifully printed in the Spanish Netherlands, using hand-copied monastic chant books as its sources.<br />
<br />
The chant notation (shown, left) looks very like that used in the editions most singers use today, though it used five staves and lacks some of the specialised note-shapes (singers will note that there don't seem to be any quilismas or liquescents). Again, it (obviously) doesn't include the editorial marks added by the monks of Solesmes to most modern editions.<br />
<br />
Although the melodies are somewhat different from the ones used today, which have been restored by reference to the oldest available manuscripts, they are quite different from the simplified and clunkily-printed chant used immediately before the Solesmes-influenced 1907 <i>Graduale Romanum, </i>upon which later editions have been based, exemplified by the 1870 Pustet edition shown below.<br />

The story of the restoration is fascinating, as it the discussion of the place the Gradual had in the<br />
Counter Reformation programme of restoration in the Spanish Netherlands.<br />

The book's blurb:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zf0IJogbgVo/WQS64dqEl1I/AAAAAAAAEh4/BP5hwMAdIkEFSyOkDuRMY0IJppgaj6g5gCK4B/s1600/Gradual.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a><span style="color: #990000;">An illustrated monograph about the rescue, restoration and history of a monumental book of early printed Gregorian Chant, and its continuing use in the revival of the traditional Latin liturgy. The Gradual of the title, containing the chants of the Mass, was published by the great Renaissance printer, Jan Moretus, at the Plantin Press in Antwerp in 1598. This was the supreme achievement of a new technology supplanting the art of illuminated manuscripts – and an act of defiance by a Church besieged by the Protestant forces of the Reformation. </span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zf0IJogbgVo/WQS64dqEl1I/AAAAAAAAEh4/BP5hwMAdIkEFSyOkDuRMY0IJppgaj6g5gCK4B/s1600/Gradual.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Zf0IJogbgVo/WQS64dqEl1I/AAAAAAAAEh4/BP5hwMAdIkEFSyOkDuRMY0IJppgaj6g5gCK4B/s320/Gradual.jpg" width="207" /></a><span style="color: #990000;">While the Dutch War of Independence raged around Antwerp, the Plantin Press spared no expense in creating this important and infl uential work, sending copies throughout the Catholic world to keep the Divine Office alive, and to raise the spirits of the recusant faithful. Among these were the aristocratic English women who fled Elizabeth’s persecutions for the relative safety of the Spanish Netherlands, and founded a Benedictine convent in Brussels, under the abbacy of Dame Joanna Berkeley. The ancient Chants which the Brussels Dames sang from their Moretus Gradual more than four hundred years ago had already survived a millennium – and are drawing a new generation of young people today.</span>Joseph Shawhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06587987442560784792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279777950153294150.post-82283157695575720352017-02-06T11:13:00.002+00:002017-02-06T11:13:55.155+00:00Chant Weekend 2017<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
Contact the parish to see it or collect it.<br />
<br />
Holy Trinity is a lovely church, which thanks to an enterprising former Parish Priest has a very interesting 18th century chamber organ (in need of some restoration). For some reason it <i>also</i> has this harmonium, which takes up a good deal of space in the tiny choir loft.<br />

some years Associates of the Schola have been joining with the YCA on a weekend
retreat, usually in the autumn at Douai Abbey.
The YCA is a group which promotes the spirit of orthodoxy with charity;
it has a deliberately non-divisive
outlook, and uses the Church’s devotional heritage in order to aid souls. It promotes celebration of Masses in the
Extraordinary Form, Adoration, the Rosary, and other devotions. The YCA aims to
promote a spirit of beauty and reverence in the Sacred Liturgy. This aim accords with the similar aim of the
Schola to proclaim the word of God through the divinely inspired music of the
chant. At these retreats the Schola
leads the singing at Mass and the daily Offices, and encourages YCA members to
join in rehearsals. The lecture
programmes of the YCA and Schola rehearsals are linked and timed to allow
members of either organisation to attend both. Each day ends with a social
gathering at which old friendships are renewed and new ones made.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> At the outset Christopher Hodkinson
distributed music books covering the entire weekend, as usual beautifully
prepared with translations alongside the Latin, coupled with full rubrics. On
the Friday evening we sang Compline of the Feast of SS. Simon and Jude, ending
with a Procession and Aspersion with Holy Water during the singing of the
solemn Salve Regina. Next morning we
sang the Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday (EF) at a High Mass in the
parish church according to the Roman rite. Later in the morning rain curtailed
the Marian Procession in the Abbey grounds in honour of Our Lady of Fatima.
That evening we sang First Vespers of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King, and after
supper Compline in the Abbey Church sung with the Community. On Sunday morning the Missa Cantata for the
same Feast was celebrated in the parish church by Fr. Thomas Crean, the
Chaplain to the YCA, according to the Dominican rite.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> Douai Abbey is a splendid venue for
these very successful retreats. Food and
accommodation are excellent, and participants benefit from the peaceful
atmosphere of the Abbey and the beautiful surrounding country. Everyone left
hoping for a repeat visit next year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This is a new venture which I am pleased to bring to the attention of my readers. The first edition of this magazine includes both an intereview wuith and music by Colin Mawby, one of the Latin Mass Society's Patrons. You can buy and <a href="http://choralife.com/product/altare-dei-a-magazine-on-liturgy-and-sacred-music-n-1-october-2016/">download it here</a>.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; text-align: start;">
1) Altare Dei will present in English featured articles not only from people in the anglosaxon world, but also from Europe, theologians and liturgists that will be translated, sometimes for the first time in English.</div>
</b><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
2) The cost is around 7 US dollars, but if you consider only the musicla insert will cost much more than that if bought separately.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
3) The musical insert has, in this issue 12 pages of music, 6 original pieces from contemporary very good Church composer. Only for that Altare Dei would be a must. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">
4) You can download the pdf right away, no shipping fees.</div>

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js"></script>Monsignor Gordon Read of Brentwood Diocese this year celebrates the 40th anniversary of his priestly ordination. As the National Chaplain of the Latin Mass Society, we made a little presentation to him at our annual get-together of Local Representatives in London.<br />

Our gift was a minature chalice--for travelling. It came with a paten and a cruet with a screw-top lid, also intended for travel.<br />
<br />
Mgr Read is a very distinguished canon lawyer, and the Chancellor of his diocese. It is not just an honour for the Latin Mass Society to have him as our Chaplain, but a matter of frequent practical assistance to be able to call on his advice. He is of course unusual in his interest in the Traditional Mass, which he has been saying since a few weeks after his ordination, in his generation, ordained in 1976. Ad multos annos!<br />

The meeting - the Joint Meeting of Representatives and the Committee - was well attended, and we were bursting out of the dining room at Our Lady of the Assumption, Warwick Street, where it took place, with a good number of new Representatives. The basement parish hall at Warwick Street is being refurbished and is nearly finished, so we'll have more room next year!<br />
