Saturday May 8, 2010

9:30 am

Saturday 8th May 2010 from 9.30am to 5pm at St Alphonsus’ Catholic Church
95 Westbourne Grove, Middlesbrough, TS3 6EW
In this day-long workshop we will learn and sing some of the most beautiful chants in the repertory of Gregorian Chant, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and based around the context of a Sung Mass. We will immerse ourselves in the sound, technique and language of this ancient musical style, working toward an authentic and beautiful performance at the end of the day. We will also discover the links between Chant and Polyphony.
The music we will study in the workshop will include:

• Mass IX (Cum Iubilo)
• The Propers of the BVM
• Marian Processionals
• Gregorian Hymnody
• Marian Polyphonic Motets

All materials (an introduction to Gregorian Chant, scores and helpful resources) are included in the cost of the day. Beginners and more advanced singers are welcome. Registration Fee: £5.00 – No Fee for Students
To register please contact us at email@saintalphonsus.org.uk or telephone (01642) 245043. Further information may be found at www.saintalphonsus.org.uk

Priests' Training Conference at Ushaw

All the liturgies at the forthcoming priests' training conference at Ushaw will be open to the public. Since it is a very large church, it would be nice to see some of the general public there, as the priests attending the conference will only take up a small part of the church.

Another reason for attending is that there will be some very fine music.

Here is a list of the services:-

Monday 12th April 11.00am Solemn Mass of the BVM

Plainsong: Cum Jubilo

5.30pm Vespers of BVM

Tuesday 13th April 11.15am Missa Cantata

Plainsong: Lux et Origio

5.30pm Rosary & Benediction

Wednesday 14th April 11.15am Missa Cantata

Plainsong: Cunctipotens Genitor Deus

5.30pm Vespers

Thursday 15th April 11.00am Solemn Requiem Mass

Victoria: Missa pro Defunctis

5.30pm Vespers & Benediction

Friday 16th April 11.00am Solemn Mass of St Cuthbert
