Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

Jeffrey Tucker of The New Liturgical Movement has a nice story on "Gloria XV ." It is a simple Gloria that any Parish can do. Please check out his story! The comments also add a great deal. So there are a number of factors here in the success of Gloria XV. It is great music. It is part of the Mass. It is unusual and challenging. But also, the celebrant has led the way in showing people how to do this. Now, I know that not everyone is so fortunate as to have a celebrant who is willing to intone the Gloria. But perhaps we should all make greater efforts here. We are, after all, talking about four words and three notes. This is not difficult. But it makes an immense difference for everyone.

Jeffrey Tucker of The New Liturgical Movement has a piece on music that is very insightful . I'll let you read it and ponder your feelings on the matter.

Shawn Tribe of The New Liturgical Movement has a fascinating post . The F.S.S.P. in association with EWTN is offering a free DVD for all priests in North America . The DVD is a training video for the Usus Antiquior with an introduction by Cardinal Castrillon-Hoyos . As Shawn states: The first DVD contains the introduction by Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos, followed by a "comprehensive explanation of the entire ceremony of Low Mass..." The second DVD included in the set includes "a real time demonstration of the Mass filmed from four simultaneous camera angles with the ability to switch the viewing angle at any time. Also includes a spiritual commentary on the Mass by Fr. Calvin Goodwin, FSSP." Check here for more .
