    Just had a long conversation with the director of music at St. Peter's in Rome. He speaks about all the progress they are making in singing chant and propers, plus much more. Report here.

    Thank you Jeffrey for such a wonderful news. I forwarded it to as many people as I know. I'd really like to see local parishes and people follow the example of the good liturgy as shown here and more connected to our Pope, who knows what we really need in today's Catholic Church.

    Would this priest be willing to come to the Colloquium and teach a course?

    A wonderful report; very encouraging!

    Any word about the usage of the Alleluias and Tracts from the Graduale Romanum, or about the priests chanting the parts that pertain to them?

    That tract is in during Lent but for the Alleluia, he is using 4-part choral arrangements from his own teacher in Quebec (he really likes them and finds them beautiful), but not ruling out the Gregorian.

    "The new closeness between Solesmes and St. Peters will intensify later this year when Solesmes releases an in-print version of the first volume of the Antiphonale for the Liturgy of the Hours, which will then be used in published form for Vespers at the Vatican."

    Really??? REALLY???????

    Hmmmm...Mpls/St. Paul is located between Boston and Denver...would that Fr. Z (or someone) could wield some influence for a "stopover concert" at the Church of St. Agnes in St. Paul...sigh...how glorious that would be...
