Music at The Cathedral of Saint Joseph 
2014-2015
Welcome to a new season of sacred music at The Cathedral of
Saint Joseph. Music has always played an important role in the
life of this Cathedral parish.
Included in this booklet is a listing of music to be sung by
assembly, cantors and the Cathedral Choir, highlighting each
Sunday, feast or liturgical season.
“Sing to the Lord a new song: sing to the Lord all the earth. Sing to the Lord, and bless his
Name: proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.”
Psalm 96:1-2
“Music for the liturgy must be carefully chosen and prepared.”
Sing to the Lord (Music in Divine Worship) Article 122
“The treasury of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care.
Choirs must be diligently developed, especially in cathedral churches.”
Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, Article 114
“There is a profound and mysterious relationship between music and hope,
between song and eternal life.”
Pope Benedict XVI, 25 April 2008
“All other things being equal, Gregorian chant holds pride of place because it is proper to the
Roman Liturgy. Other types of sacred music, in particular polyphony, are in no way excluded,
provided that they correspond to the spirit of the liturgical action and that they foster
the participation of the faithful.”

coming at the end of time. Advent thus is a period of devout and joyful expectation.” (General Norms for
the Liturgical Year and Calendar, #39).

LENT

double character, namely to prepare both catechumens and faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery. The
catechumens, both with the rite of elections and scrutinizes, and by catechesis, are prepared for the
celebration of the sacraments of Christian initiation; the faithful, ever more attentive to the Word of God
and prayer, prepare themselves by penance, for the renewal of their baptismal promises (Caremoniale
episcoporum, 249).
Note: During the seasons of Lent and Easter, “Verbum domini” is chanted following the first and
second readings.

HOLY WEEK AND EASTER TRIDUUM
Christ redeemed us all and gave perfect glory to God principally through his paschal mystery: dying he
destroyed our death and rising he restored our life. Therefore, the Easter triduum of the passion and
resurrection of Christ is the culmination of the entire liturgical year. Thus the solemnity of Easter has the
same kind of preeminence in the liturgical year that Sunday has in the week. The Easter triduum begins
with the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, reaches its high point in the Easter vigil, and closes with
evening prayer on Easter Sunday (General Norms, 18-19).
 Sunday 29 March 2015: Palm Sunday of the Passion of the Lord
On this day the Church celebrates Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem to accomplish the Paschal Mystery of
his death and resurrection. Accordingly, the memorial of this event is included in every mass, with the
procession or the solemn entrance before the principal Mass, with the simple entrance before the other
Masses. The solemn entrance may be repeated before other Masses.

Tuesday 31 March 2015: Tuesday of Holy Week / Chrism Mass
All Christians are anointed because all are filled with the Spirit’s gifts for the building up of the
church and the church’s service to the world. In every local church one Christian presides in love and
orchestrates the church’s ministry. This is the bishop, or chief pastor. It is not surprising, therefore, that
the most ancient liturgical witnesses designate the bishop as the consecrator of the sacramental oils.
Although priests once blessed the oils of the catechumens and the sick and may do so in some
circumstances, only the bishop may consecrate the chrism with which the baptized are sealed at
confirmation and ordination. This rite is one of the last rites of preparation before the Triduum begins.
Before the local church baptizes, it prepares the chrism which will be used in the Vigil.
This celebration has always retained a special character of collegiality. Even in the centuries
when Eucharistic concelebration had disappeared from the church’s life, the ritual for the blessing and
consecration of oils retained strong elements which reminded all that ministry in the church is never the
work of an individual but part of a community of ministers of different gifts and responsibilities. The
present celebration of the rite has been restored as full concelebration of the bishop with his clergy and
with the full participation of the laity.

Deacon, if a Deacon is present, or if he is not, a lay minister, stands at the ambo, and sings or says the
invitation in which the intention is expressed. Then all pray in silence for a while, and afterwards the
Priest, standing at the chair or, if appropriate, at the altar, with hands extended, sings or says the prayer.
The faithful may remain either kneeling or standing throughout the entire period of the prayers.]

PART II: ADORATION OF THE HOLY CROSS
The Deacon accompanied by ministers, or another suitable minister, goes to the sacristy, from which, in
procession, accompanied by two ministers with lighted candles, he carries the Cross, covered with a violet
veil, through the church to the middle of the sanctuary. The Priest, standing before the altar and facing the
people, receives the Cross, uncovers a little of its upper part and elevates it while beginning the Ecce
lingum Crucis (Behold the wood of the Cross). He is assisted in singing by the Deacon or, if need be, by
the choir. All respond, Come, let us adore. At the end of the singing, all kneel and for a brief moment
adore in silence, while the Priest stand and holds the Cross raised.
Then the Priest uncovers the right arm of the Cross and again, raising up the Cross, begins, Behold the
wood of the Cross, and everything takes place as above. Finally, he uncovers the Cross entirely and,
raising it up, he begins the invitation Behold the wood of the Cross a third time and everything takes place
like the first time.

Saturday 4 April 2015: Holy Saturday / The Great Vigil of Easter
8:00 a.m. Morning Prayer – Consult separate worship aid
On Holy Saturday the Church waits at the Lord’s tomb in prayer and fasting, meditation on his Passion
and Death and on his Descent into Hell, and awaiting his Resurrection. The Church abstains from the
Sacrifice of the Mass, with the sacred table left bare, until after the solemn Vigil, that is, the anticipation by
night of the Resurrection, when the time comes for paschal joys, the abundance of which overflows to
occupy fifty days. Holy Communion may only be given on this day as Viaticum.
The Great Vigil of Easter, 8:00 p.m.
By most ancient tradition, this is the night of keeping vigil for the Lord (Ex 12:42), in which, following the
Gospel admonition (Lk 12:35-37), the faithful, carrying lighted lamps in their hands, should be like those
looking for the Lord when he returns, so that at his coming he may find them awake and have them sit at
his table. Of this night’s Vigil, which is the greatest and most noble of all solemnities, there is to be only
celebration in each church. It is arranged, moreover, in such a way that after the Lucernarium and Easter
Proclamation (which constitutes the first part of this Vigil), Holy Church meditates on the wonders the
Lord God has done for his people from the beginning, trusting in his word and promise (the second part,
that is, the Liturgy of the Word) until, as day approaches, with new members reborn in Baptism (the third
part), the Church is called to the table the Lord has prepared for his people, the memorial of his Death and
Resurrection until he comes again (the fourth part).
PART I: LUCERNARIUM
The Blessing of the Fire and Preparation of the Candle
PROCESSION: When the candle has been lit, one of the ministers takes burning coals from the firs and
places them in the thurible, and the Priest puts incense into it in the usual way. The Deacon or, if there is
no Deacon, another suitable minister, takes the paschal candle and a procession forms. The thurifer with
the smoking thurible precedes the Deacon or other minister who carries the paschal candle. After them
follows the Priest with the ministers and the people, all holding in their hands unlit candles.
At the door of the church, the Deacon or other suitable minister, standing and raising up the candle,
sings: Priest/Deacon intones: “The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.”
Cantor and Assembly: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.”
The Priest lights his candle from the flame of the paschal candle. Then the Deacon processes to the
middle of the darkened church and, standing and raising up the candle, sings a second time:
“The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.”
ALL: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.”
All light their candles from the Easter candle and continue in procession. When the Deacon arrives
before the altar, he stands facing the people, raises up the candle and sings a third time:
“The Light of Christ.” or “Lumen Christi.”
ALL: “Thanks be to God.” or “Deo gratias.”
The Easter Proclamation (Exsultet)
40
PART II: LITURGY OF THE WORD
There are seven readings from the Old Testament and two from the New (the Epistle and Gospel), all of
which should be read whenever this can be done, so that the character of the Vigil, which demands an
extended period of time, may be preserved. Nevertheless, where more serious pastoral circumstances
demand it, the number of readings from the Old Testament may be reduced, always bearing in mind that
the reading of the Word of God is a fundamental part of this Easter Vigil. At least three readings should be
read from the Old Testament, both from the Law and from the Prophets, and their respective Responsorial
Psalms should be sung. Never, moreover, should the reading of chapter 14 of Exodus with its canticle be
omitted. Following each reading from the Old Testament the Responsorial Psalm is sung. Then all rise,
the Bishop says, “Let us pray” and, after all have prayed for a while in silence, he says the prayer
corresponding to the reading.
Reading I: Genesis 1:1-2:2
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 104 – Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth. (Kelly)
Reading II: Genesis 22:1-18

EASTER SEASON
During the Easter Season the Church extends the joy and gladness of Easter day throughout several weeks.
The Solemnity of Easter itself, and I particular the Great Easter Vigil, is the highpoint of the liturgical year.
Since the celebration of the Easter feast is of such pre-eminence, the Church extends that celebration for
seven days, called Easter Week. Each day of Easter Week is a solemnity of high rank, and rituals peculiar
to Easter (like the double “Alleluia” sung at the dismissal) are continued each day during Easter Week.
The importance of the “Week of Easters” is such that the Church multiplies it seven times seven, creating a
season of joy and festivity. Thus, the Easter Season is highly symbolic in length, a season of 7 times 7
days, culminating in the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (pente meaning “fiftieth”).
