Dear Fellow Parishioners,
In the coming weeks we will be introducing “new” musical settings of the Ordinary of Mass for use
at the 8 & 10 o’clock Sunday Masses. After careful consideration, I have chosen chants from two well-known
Masses published in the Gregorian Missal: Vatican Mass VIII (Missa de Angelis) and Mass XI (Missa Orbis
Factor). The council of Vatican II reaffirms that, “The Church acknowledges Gregorian Chant as distinctive
of the Roman liturgy; therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical
services” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, §116). In an attempt to implicate authentic renewal of Sacred Music at
our parish, and to follow the directive of Vatican II to enable the faithful, “To say or to sing together in Latin
those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass belonging to them” (SC §54), the Parish Choir will assist you in
becoming familiar with these ancient musical treasures by performing them before Mass. In addition to this,
worship-aids for use at Mass have been placed in the pews to ease the transition. Pope Pius X, in his motu
proprio on Sacred Music, describes Gregorian Chant as the “supreme model” for all other sacred music to
emulate. With this in mind, we endeavor to reintroduce this magnificent and beautiful music back into its
rightful place in the liturgy.
When this reform is accomplished, our beloved Parish will be an exemplary model of the Catholic
Church’s living liturgical tradition. Our community will be a paradigm of how to incorporate our ancient and
unique liturgical traditions while embracing what is new. We will continue to lift our voices to God as one in
the singing of our favorite hymns and spiritual songs at Mass. I look forward to the changes to come, and to
rediscovering the riches of our Church’s musical heritage with you.
Many Blessings,
Andrew N. Barnick
Organist & Choirmaster
St. Peter Catholic Church

the Schola Cantorum Franciscana of Franciscan

College, Latrobe, PA and the Academy Chamber
Orchestra of Pittsburgh.
The centerpiece of the program is twentieth century
English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams’ power-
ful and poignant Dona Nobis Pacem. The work is a
dramatic plea for peace, composed in 1936 as the
world began to slip into a Second World War.
Vaughan Williams, a combat veteran of the First
World War, drew upon the Ordinary of the Mass, Ho-
ly Scripture, and the poetry of Walt Whitman (a vet-
eran of the American Civil War) for the text of the
rarely-performed cantata. The concert will also fea-
ture Franz Schubert’s popular Mass no. 2 in G major.
Admission is free, and the program will also be given
at St. Vincent Archabbey on Saturday, Novermber 14
at 7:30 p.m.
