Great new resource for your new Gregorian chant schola! Wherein Fr. Z also comments on pace.

Posted on 21 April 2013 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

Some people on the traditional side of things are demoralized because Pope Francis has a markedly different liturgical style from that of Benedict XVI. Some might wonder if it is worth trying to promote the provisions of Summorum Pontificum and … Continue reading →

If Francis wants a leaner, humble liturgy… then we need sacred music to match. We already have it!

Posted on 5 April 2013 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

Some extol the new “humble” liturgical style of Pope Francis in the wrong way.  They oppose his style to a grand or solemn style, as if the one excludes the other.

Posted on 25 December 2012 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

During the Holy Father’s 1st Mass of Christmas last night, something happened which everyone should know about.

Pope Benedict, speaking on liturgical music and the new evangelization, emphasizes Gregorian chant, polyphony, listening

Posted on 10 November 2012 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

Pope Benedict received in audience the “Saint Cecilia Association”, on the occasion of a congress of liturgical choirs taking place in Rome.
