INTRODUCTION

!is book provides a suite of Gregorian chant and chant–inspired plainsong Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations for Sundays, selected Solemnities and Feasts, and Ritual Masses. !e texts of this collection correspond with those found in the Lectionary for Mass for the Dioceses of the United States of America. !e Masses which this collection encompasses correspond exactly with those Masses found in the Gregorian Missal for Sundays (Solesmes, 1990), a subset of liturgical chants from the Graduale Romanum (Solesmes, 1974).In this collection, the mode chosen for each Responsorial Psalm matches, in most cases, that of the Gradual for a given day as found in the Graduale Romanum; likewise, the mode of the Gospel Acclamation corresponds to that of its Gregorian-chant counterpart for a given day (Alleluia and Verse, or Tract). In this way the chants in this collection are similar to those of Simple English Propers (Church Music Association of America, 2011), which provides a suite of Introits, Offertories, and Communion chants which correspond with those in the Gregorian Missal for Sundays. Ecclesial communities who wish to institute regularly occurring Sung Masses in English using the idiom of plainsong will #nd in the Roman Missal !ird Edition, Simple English Propers, and Modal Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations a complete suite of noble-yet-accessible Gregorian-inspired liturgical chants for the vast majority of Sunday and holyday Masses according to the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite.1

A study of the Graduals of the Roman-Rite Mass reveals that within a given mode there is much melodic similarity from one Gradual to another. While the melodic formulas for the responses in this book are necessarily much simpler than the Gradual melodies, these too share common patterns within a given mode. !e repetition of patterns throughout the liturgical year will greatly assist psalmists, choirs, and congregations in learning the chants in this book over time. !e modal melodies will allow people to enter gently into the sung prayer which is the essence of divine worship generally, and Gregorian chant in particular.Most of the Alleluia melodies are taken from the Graduale Simplex (Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 1968). !e two exceptions are the Alleluia melodies of Modes V and VIII, which are original compositions. Like the plainsong Alleluia most commonly used in the reformed Roman Rite, all of these employ triple repetitions.!e psalm tones found in Modal Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations take their inspiration from their Gregorian originals and have been cra"ed to work easily and seamlessly with the English language. Like their Gregorian progenitors,

1

1 Chants not included in these three books include: those for the Holy !ursday Washing of Feet, Good Friday Veneration of the Cross, various chants of the Baptismal Rite during the Easter Vigil, the mandatory sequences of Easter and Pentecost, and the optional sequences of !e Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi) and Our Lady of Sorrows. !ough the Roman Missal !ird Edition contains all of the aforementioned texts, many of them lack musical notation.

these psalm tones retain formulas for incipits, a single reciting tone, and mediant and #nal cadential formulas. !ese psalm tones all encompass the same syllabic structure—an incipit of two syllables, one preparatory syllable at the mediant cadence, and two preparatory syllables at the #nal cadence. !is standardization allows for the psalmist or choir to learn the pitches of psalm tones quickly and with minimal effort, and spend more time on effectively declaiming the psalm verses in song.Modal Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations contains common (seasonal) responses and psalms as found in the Lectionary. !ese may serve to acclimate an ecclesial community to the singing of new and unfamiliar modal melodies with familiar, less frequently changing texts before delving into the “richer fare” (cf. Vatican II Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy 51) of responsorial psalmody found in the Sunday Lectionary. Because the melodies found in the common responses and psalms are shared with the weekly responses and psalms, a transition from the former to the latter may be done successfully, and in some cases seamlessly.Finally, the following future editions of Modal Responsorial Psalms and Gospel Acclamations are being considered:— A modern-notation version;— Keyboard and instrumental accompaniments;— Choral (SATB) antiphons and psalm tones;— Editions which employ psalm verses from the Revised Grail Psalter.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

All glory and honor ultimately belongs to God alone, whose inspired Word this book attempts to frame in a simple, beautiful, and prayerful manner according to the movement, inspiration, and savor of the Gregorian form.!anks are due to three of our Holy Fathers who advocated a renewal of authentic liturgy and sacred music: Pope St. Pius X for his seminal motu proprio Tra le sollecitudini; Blessed Pope John Paul II for his “Chirograph for the Centenary of the Motu Proprio Tra le sollecitudini”; Pope Benedict XVI, who as Cardinal Ratzinger has written extensively about proper worship and sacred music, and who as Pope aims to lead by proper example and catechesis.!ank you to Jeffrey Ostrowski of Corpus Christi Watershed, whose St. Noël Chabanel Responsorial Psalm Project served as the vehicle for my initial foray into composing vernacular plainsong for the Ordinary Form of the Mass. !anks are also due to Jeff for including my suite of Responsorial Psalm Antiphons in !e Vatican II Hymnal. A #nal thank you to Jeff for his encouragement, support, and above all patience as this project has #nally come to its #rst major benchmark—hardcopy publication.Many thanks are due to Ryan Murphy, organist and schola director of the Pittsburgh Oratory for employing many of my initial efforts and for providing the

2

feedback about choral and congregational participation that has served as the impetus for this book.!ank you to the many coworkers in the vineyard of sacred music in line with the Roman Rite’s tradition—advocates, practitioners, and followers—who have demonstrated the desire to be faithful to Holy Mother Church in all things, including liturgical worship. Among those are the many members of the Church Music Association of America past and present, whose friendship and shared efforts has been a constant source of consolation: Mary Jane Ballou, Wilko Brouwers, Horst Buchholz, Jennifer Donelson, Pedro d’Aquino, David Hughes, Michael E. Lawrence, Cecilia Mee-Ae Nam, Arlene Oost-Zinner, Jeffrey Tucker, Scott Turkington, William Mahrt, Paul Weber, and Mary Ann Carr Wilson, just to name a few.!ank you to the growing number of bishops, priests and seminarians who understand their role, either current or future, in revitalizing our divine worship according to the Church’s highest desires, regardless of the form of the Roman Rite they employ. Special thanks to Fr. Richard Heilman, pastor of St. Mary of Pine Bluff and St. Ignatius, Mount Horeb, under whose leadership and patience—o"en tried!—I have been allowed to succeed and fail as a church musician. !anks also to Bishop Robert C. Morlino, who has taken steps toward reclaiming a sense of the sacred in the Diocese of Madison, Wisconsin, as well as Vicar General Msgr. James Bartylla, who has allowed me to assist in his ministry through the incorporation of Gregorian chant in his sung Masses in the Ordinary Form.!ank you to the choirs of St. Ignatius and St. Mary for their willingness to view choir in a new way—as a sung prayer group—and for weathering many trials on their way toward learning and implementing the musical reform called for by the Church. May you be blessed heartily for your perseverance, long-suffering, and love, and may your numbers increase.!ank you to all of my priestly and lay colleagues who hold fast to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. While this book will not affect you in any direct way, your devotion and zeal for the proper worship of Almighty God for his glory and our sancti#cation has served as a worthy example.!ank you to my parents for setting an example of faith, and for looking on with approval at every good thing I have ever done. !ank you also to my wife, who has been a faithful source of support, constructive criticism, patience, and consolation. !ank you to all benefactors who have supported me, especially through prayer.Finally, thank you to all the church musicians who understand the nobility of sung divine worship and who are working towards normalizing this more noble form of worship. May the sowing that you do—o"en in tears—result in a bountiful and joyful harvest.
