County Jail Ministry

Got to minister through music finally at the Restitution Center at the Washington County jail lastnight. This was a new experience for me that I've been praying to happen so I wasn't sure how it was going to go. I was in prayer quite a bit before the show and was very confident in God that this was right! When I finally got to perform and give the residents a little bit of my testimony God opened the flood gate for the Holy Spirit to move! They all received the music and the message, yelling AMEN! It's like brother Rick from the band that brought me said, "if Jesus was here on earth with us you wouldn't find Him ministering at a church, it would mostly be in the dark places, the jails, troubled cities etc..." praise God He is good! One young brother walked up to me after I was done and said that he had been in a major funk in his mind and the couple songs I did pulled him out of that right away! I told him praise God that's how the Holy Spirit works, as long as we are open for Him, He will do the work!... Anyways it went awesome and I can't wait for the next one! In Jesus mighty name Amen! 💯💯💯

MUSICAM SACRAM: Vatican II’s Instruction on Music in the Liturgy

I.              General Norms

The text is prepared with the hope that priests, musicians and the faithful will accept these norms and put them into practice so that the true purpose of sacred music may be achieved and that purpose is the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful (#4).

It defines Sacred Music as that which is created for the celebration of divine worship and endowed with holy form. Gregorian chant, sacred polyphony in ancient and modern form, sacred popular music including non-liturgical music all qualify as Sacred Music (#4).

The Liturgy is given a more noble form when it is celebrated with music. Prayer is more attractive, the mystery is openly expressed and it achieves a certain unity of hearts along with voices. It allows the mind to rise to things above and prefigures the heavenly liturgy. Priests should do whatever they can to achieve this. They must organize the liturgy so that whatever can be sung ought to be and whatever isn’t normally sung can be given tunes. In order to do this, they must ensure that the proper ministers are obtained and trained (in this case, musicians and singers).  (#5)

So that the liturgy can be properly celebrated, those parts that should be sung ought to be sung using the kind and form of music proper to their character (#6). The two extremes are the fuller form in which everything that should be sung is and the simplest form in which there is barely any singing. There are a whole range of in-betweens where most liturgical celebrations fall. The important part should as far as possible be sung (#7). Whenever singing is involved, a capable priest should be appointed. If the priest in unable to sing then he may recite but this should not be done for the mere convenience of the minister (#8).

When selecting music, the capacity of those involved needs to be taken into account. “No kind of sacred music is prohibited from liturgical actions by the Church as long as it corresponds to the spirit of the liturgical celebration itself and the nature of its individual parts and does not hinder the active participation of the people” (#9). In order that the faithful can participate actively, the format of the celebration should be adapted as much as possible keeping in mind the solemnity of the day and the nature of the assembly (#10).

Elaborate singing should not compromise the spirit and nature of the liturgy. When it is possible to do so, it must be done keeping in mind that no part of the liturgy is omitted or improperly performed (#11). The norms are laid down by the Holy See and can also be defined by the territorial Episcopal conferences (#12). Within the liturgy, the priest has a very important role by virtue of his ordination and with him do the servers, lectors, commentators and the choir (#13).

The faithful ought to participate wholeheartedly in the liturgy. Their participation should involve vocal responses, mental attention, appropriate gestures and attentive listening (#15). “One cannot find anything more religious and more joyful in sacred celebrations than a whole congregation expressing its faith and devotion in song.” The laity should be helped, through instruction and practice, to properly sing the parts of the mass proper to them (#16). Silence has a significant place in the liturgy and must be respected. Silence allows for meditation and for appropriation of the Word of God and the prayers (#17).  

It is imperative that lay religious (nuns and brothers) be trained in sacred music so that they can contribute to the instruction of the laity. The formation in sacred music needs to be ongoing and should accompany the religious education of a child. The document says that this should be undertaken “seriously and patiently” (#18).

The choir is responsible for the proper performance of the people’s part in the liturgy and to foster participation. Choirs should be encouraged in Churches, seminaries and religious houses (#19). Directors of the choir should ensure that the members are well trained with the sung parts of the liturgy (#20). If a whole choir cannot be formed at least one or two singers should be trained to do the job (#21). The choir should be placed in such a way that they form part of the congregation (#22).

In addition to music training, the choir should also receive liturgical and spiritual formation so as to enhance their participation and leadership in the liturgy (#24). To realize this, the diocesan, national and international associations of sacred music should offer their services (#25).

On Sundays and feast days, the sung mass should be preferred over the simpler form (#27).

The following are the sung parts of the mass as per their degree of participation:

The first degree – Greeting by the priest and the people’s response; the opening prayer; the dialogue before the Gospel; prayer over the offerings; preface with the dialogue and the Sanctus; the doxology; the Lords’ prayer with its introduction and embolism (prayer that immediately follows the Our Father); peace rite; prayer after communion; dismissal formula.

The second degree – Kyrie, Gloria and Agnus Dei; creed; prayer of the faithful.

The third degree – Entrance and communion hymn; acclamation; offertory hymn; responsorial psalm; the readings. (#29-31)

Hymns other than the ones given in the Graduale Romanum may be used provided they are approved by the local ordinary (Bishop) (#32). The hymns chosen must be Eucharistic in nature and in keeping with the part of the Mass, the feast and liturgical season (#36).

II.            Singing of the Divine Office

The singing of the Divine office is the best form of celebrating it. Singing expresses its solemnity in a fuller way and achieves a deeper union of hearts praising God (#37). The faithful must be invited to celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours in common at least on Sundays and Feast days (at least vespers). They should be educated and helped to understand the psalms so as to use them for their personal prayers (#39). Consecrated persons should be the first to receive such training so that they may benefit spiritually from the practice. They should participate in the prayer of the Church by celebrating the principal hours (Lauds & Vespers) in sung form (#40). The use of Latin is to be retained by clerics praying the office in choir. Melodies ought to be composed for singing the Divine Office in the vernacular (#41).

III.           Music for Sacraments and Sacramentals, and Popular Devotions

The Council declared that a public celebration is to be preferred to a private celebration in the case of liturgy. Hence, singing becomes integral since it fosters a communitarian celebration. (#42) Certain celebrations which are significant and meaningful to the community should be performed in the sung form like ordinations, marriages, confirmations, consecration of churches etc. However, introducing elements that are distinctively secular into such celebrations has to be avoided. Special mention is made of marriages. (#43)

Certain celebrations which the Church recommends may be solemnized by singing like Holy Week. (#44) The melodies for use at such occasions should fit the mood of the celebration. (#45). In popular devotions, pride of place should be given to the Word of God just as it is given in the Holy Eucharist. The psalms are a potent source for sacred music. Besides, ancient and modern melodies can be used in addition to popular religious songs which may be accompanied by the organ and other instruments which are culturally acceptable (#46).

IV.          Language of Liturgical Songs and Preserving the Heritage of Sacred Music

Sacrosanctum Concilium #36 made it clear that Latin should be preserved in the Latin rite. However, since the vernacular is more comfortable for the people, the Bishops should decide the proportion of vernacular and Latin and get it approved by Rome. It is left to priests to ensure that the faithful are capable of saying or singing in Latin those parts of the Mass that pertain to them (#47). Bishops can allow for at least one Mass to be celebrated in Latin, preferably the sung form, especially in areas where the congregation is large so as to preserve this tradition (#48).

In sung Latin services: Gregorian chant should be given pride of place. Its melodies should be used to the extent possible. Music written for voices should be used at least on occasions (#50). Pastors should see if the Latin melodies could be adapted to vernacular settings. There is nothing preventing different parts of the mass being sung in different languages (#51).

To preserve the heritage of sacred music and promote new forms of sacred singing, emphasis should be placed on teaching and learning music in seminaries and houses of religious, as well as in Catholic schools and institutes. The study and practice of Gregorian chant is to be promoted as it is the basis for the development of sacred music (#52).

New works of sacred music should conform to the principles and norms given in this document. Basically they should enhance participation and be usable by large and small choirs. (#53)

V.            Preparing Melodies in Vernacular

Melodies in the vernacular should as far as possible remain faithful to the Latin texts. The Bishop should ensure that the committee tasked with this project has persons who are well versed with Latin as well as the vernacular language (#54). The Bishop must decide whether traditional music is suitable for use in liturgies (#55). Any new melody must be approved by the Bishop (#57). Episcopal conferences must ensure that a common translation be used for a language spoken among different regions. As far as possible, there should be common melodies for certain parts so that even though people of different regions speaking the same language attend they can all participate (#58).

Musicians should be sensitive to traditional melodies while also paying attention to new laws and requirements in the liturgy (#59). New melodies will take their time to mature and grow in perfection – this experimental character is permitted but it should not in any way compromise the sanctity of the Church and of the liturgy (#60). Adapting traditional melodies to cultures that are in the process of being evangelized is a delicate task and requires expertise. Only those persons who work in those areas and are well aware of both local culture and Church musical tradition ought to put their hand to the keys (#61).

VI.          Sacred Instrumental Music

Instruments contribute to the solemnity of the celebration whether they are played as accompaniment or solo. The pipe organ has pride of place in the Latin Church since it is the traditional instrument of the Church. Other instruments may be used with the due approval of the competent authority (Bishop). The criteria for selecting the instruments are that they should be adapted for sacred music, uphold the dignity of the Church and contribute to the edification of the faithful (#62).

In introducing instruments, the culture of the people needs to be taken into account. Those instruments which, by common opinion, are suitable exclusively for secular music should be avoided (#63). The volume of instruments should not drown out the voices; they should lend themselves to enhancing the singing and general participation of the faithful (#64). It is alright to allow for an instrument to provide solo accompaniment (without voice) to certain parts of the Mass like the entrance procession, offertory, communion and recessional. However, this should not happen during Advent, Lent, Holy Week, Proper Offices for various kinds of saints like Doctors, Martyrs etc as well as during Masses for the Dead (#66). It is imperative that musicians be skilled at the art so as to encourage the participation of the faithful (#67).

VII.         Commission for Promotion of Sacred Music

A diocesan commission should be set up in each diocese and should work in tandem with the liturgical commission. It would be advisable for the two to function as one. If needed, several dioceses could share a common commission (#68).
