The Exsultet is the beautiful chant sung by the deacon at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. After having blessed the fire and lighted the triple candle outside, the clergy and faithful process into the church, all in darkness, where the paschal candle is lit. Then, the Exsultet is sung... by candle light. Granted, there would not be any harmonic drones like in this recording; I have added that simply for esthetics since it is a recording, not the actual liturgy. Traditionally, prior to the liturgical changes of 1955, the mass of Holy Saturday (aka Easter Vigil) was not celebrated at night, but in the morning (just like the Vigil masses of Pentecost, Christmas and Assumption) as it is the mass of Holy Saturday, NOT the first mass of Easter Sunday. It is a mass in anticipation of the Resurrection. Therefore, in order to make the church dark, the windows, like the statues and sacred images, were also veiled. After the Exsultet was finished, the veils on the windows were removed, letting the light pour in and fill the church.
English translation:
"Let the angelic choirs of Heaven now rejoice; let the divine Mysteries rejoice; and let the trumpet of salvation sound forth the victory of so great a King. Let the earth also rejoice, made radiant by such splendor; and, enlightened with the brightness of the eternal King, let it know that the darkness of the whole world is scattered. Let our mother the Church also rejoice, adorned with the brightness of so great a light; and let this temple resound with the loud acclamations of the people. Wherefore I beseech you, most beloved brethren, who are here present in the wondrous brightness of this holy light, to invoke with me the mercy of almighty God. That He who has vouchsafed to admit me among the Levites, without any merits of mine, would pour forth the brightness of His light upon me, and enable me to perfect the praise of this wax candle. Through our Lord Jesus Christ His Son, Who with Him and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth one God for ever and ever. R. Amen."

Harpa Dei sings, in an arrangement of the choir's own, the hymn "Gloria, laus et honor", which is the ancient Palm Sunday hymn sung during the solemn entrance into the church on this feast.
The hymn was composed as early as the 9th century by the French bishop Theodulf of Orleans, and from there it reached Rome, where it became an integral part of the liturgy.
The audio and video recordings were made by Harpa Dei in Jerusalem. The shots show Bethphage, the place where Jesus rode the donkey; the Mount of Olives above Jerusalem, and then the Kidron Valley below the city walls; in other words, the path that Jesus Himself traveled on that glorious day when He was recognized by His people as King and Messiah.
Translation of the song into English:
Glory, honour, and laud be to Thee, King Christ the Redeemer!
Children before whose steps raised their Hosannas of praise.
Israel's king art Thou, and the glorious Offspring of David, thou that approachest a King blessed in the Name of the LORD.
Met Thee with Palms in their hands that day the folk of the Hebrews:
We with our prayers and our hymns now to Thy presence approach.
They to Thee proffered their praise for to herald Thy dolorous Passion;
We to the King on His Throne utter the jubilant hymn.
They were then pleasing to Thee, unto Thee our devotion be pleasing;
Merciful King, kind King, Who in all goodness art pleased.

During the Triduum (Holy Thurs, Good Friday, Holy Saturday), the offices of Matins and Lauds are combined into what is known as "Tenebrae", meaning "darkness". It takes this name because it is traditionally prayed early in the morning - or the night before - in darkness, by candle light, and also because of the 5th Responsory on Good Friday whose text begins with "Tenebrae factae sunt" (and there was darkness), speaking of death of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, on the holy cross. The melody for this particular Responsory is particularly famous for its beautiful expression: at the words "Jesus cried out in a loud voice" it ends on a FA, then the next phrase "My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" begins an interval of a 6th higher - an unusual and rare interval in Gregorian Chant - followed almost immediately by a leap up another 4th to the high SOL on the very words of Christ's crying out to the Father. Once this cry has finished, it then descends a tritone - another very unusual and rare interval in Gregorian Chant - to begin the next phrase, "And He bowed His head and gave up the spirit."
English translation:
There was darkness when the Jews crucified Jesus; and about the ninth hour (3pm) Jesus cried out in a loud voice: "My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" And he bowed His head and gave up the spirit.
V. Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit. And He bowed His head and gave up the spirit.

Superb WKHR Jazz stream with DJ Dorian Sarris 3-29-23 5-8pm
with a wonderful song by Mantovani at the end
Listen to WKHR anytime at https://www.wkhr.org/
The Lamentations of Jeremiah are sung during the liturgy of Tenebrae (divine office of Matins & Lauds) on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday on simple, mournful tones. In addition to the standard tones provided, there are optional, more elaborate tones taken from various medieval Mozarabic manuscripts from Spain. This tone is taken from an 10th century codex known as the Codex Gothicus Legionensis from the basilica of San Isidoro in Leon, Spain. This is the second lesson read at Tenebrae of Holy Saturday.
These lamentations - like the Psalms - can be interpreted in a number of different ways.
1) Historical. It is a prophesy of the destruction of the Jews and Jerusalem for their innumerable evils, especially for their rejection of the Messiah and their Deicide.
2) Spiritual. Jeremiah is a "type" or "prefiguring" of Jesus, like Moses and many others. In that sense, the personal words/prayers of Jeremiah to God can be seen as Christ's words to the Father. And, in as much as we are baptized into Christ and have him dwelling in our souls by sanctifying grace, they can be our words to God also.
3) Spiritual. In as much as we willfully sin, we too are like the Jews, condemning Jesus to death, mocking Him, spitting on Him, crucifying Him. In this sense, the evils we read of concerning the Jews can also be applied to our own souls, broken and desolate with sin, until we repent and return to the Lord our God.
Lam 4:1-8
1 Aleph. How is the gold become dim, the finest colour is changed, the stones of the sanctuary are scattered in the top of every street?
2 Beth. The noble sons of Sion, and they that were clothed with the best gold: how are they esteemed as earthen vessels, the work of the potter's hands?
3 Ghimel. Even the sea monsters have drawn out the breast, they have given suck to their young: the daughter of my people is cruel, like the ostrich in the desert.
4 Daleth. The tongue of the sucking child hath stuck to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the little ones have asked for bread, and there was none to break it unto them.
5 He. They that were fed delicately have died in the streets; they that were brought up in scarlet have embraced the dung.
6 Vau. And the iniquity of the daughter of my people is made greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown in a moment, and hands took nothing in her.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Return unto the Lord thy God.

English Translation:
The lamentation of the prophet Jeremiah begins.
Lam 1:1-5
1 Aleph. How doth the city sit solitary that was full of people! how is the mistress of the Gentiles become as a widow: the princes of provinces made tributary!
2 Beth. Weeping she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies.
3 Ghimel. Juda hath removed her dwelling place because of her affliction, and the greatness of her bondage: she hath dwelt among the nations, and she hath found no rest: all her persecutors have taken her in the midst of straits.
4 Daleth. The ways of Sion mourn, because there are none that come to the solemn feast: all her gates are broken down: her priests sigh: her virgins are in affliction, and she is oppressed with bitterness.
5 He. Her adversaries are become her lords, her enemies are enriched: because the Lord hath spoken against her for the multitude of her iniquities: her children are led into captivity: before the face of the oppressor.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return to the Lord thy God.

Perhaps the most beautiful Gregorian chant hymn of Lent, Vexilla Regis is sung during Passiontide and Holy Week and also on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. I had the privilege of singing and recording this hymn with the schola from the Seminary of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate in Italy just weeks before the Vatican closed their thriving Seminary in 2013. This chant, and several others, can be found on my album Excitabo Auroram: https://fathermaxmusic.com/alb....um/1455516/excitabo-

English translation:
(Lamentations 3:1-9)
1 Aleph. I am the man that see my poverty by the rod of his indignation.
2 Aleph. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, and not into light.
3 Aleph. Only against me he hath turned, and turned again his hand all the day.
4 Beth. My skin and my flesh he hath made old, he hath broken my bones.
5 Beth. He hath built round about me, and he hath compassed me with gall and labour.
6 Beth. He hath set me in dark places as those that are dead for ever.
7 Ghimel. He hath built against me round about, that I may not get out: he hath made my fetters heavy.
8 Ghimel. Yea, and when I cry, and entreat, he hath shut out my prayer.
9 Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones, he hath turned my paths upside down.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Return unto the Lord thy God.

Lesson from the book of Lamentations
Lam 2:8-11
8 Heth. The Lord hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Sion: he hath stretched out his line, and hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: and the bulwark hath mourned, and the wall hath been destroyed together.
9 Teth. Her gates are sunk into the ground: he hath destroyed, and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more, and her prophets have found no vision from the Lord.
10 Jod. The ancients of the daughter of Sion sit upon the ground, they have held their peace: they have sprinkled their heads with dust, they are girded with haircloth, the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
11 Caph. My eyes have failed with weeping, my bowels are troubled: my liver is poured out upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people, when the children, and the sucklings, fainted away in the streets of the city.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Return unto the Lord thy God.

Lam 5:1-11
"[Thus begins the prayer of Jeremiah the Prophet.]
1 Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach.
2 Our inheritance is turned to aliens: our houses to strangers.
3 We are become orphans without a father: our mothers are as widows.
4 We have drunk our water for money: we have bought our wood.
5 We were dragged by the necks, we were weary and no rest was given us.
6 We have given our hand to Egypt, and to the Assyrians, that we might be satisfied with bread.
7 Our fathers have sinned, and are not: and we have borne their iniquities.
8 Servants have ruled over us: there was none to redeem us out of their hand.
9 We fetched our bread at the peril of our lives, because of the sword in the desert.
10 Our skin was burnt as an oven, by reason of the violence of the famine.
11 They oppressed the women in Sion, and the virgins in the cities of Juda.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Return unto the Lord thy God."

The Gregorian Chant Academy and the team behind the Neumz app have partnered to present you with some beautiful spiritual commentaries on various chants by the director of the Neumz app, Alberto Diaz-Blanco. Senor Blanco and I both believe that a spiritual/liturgical understanding of the chants is of primary importance. Gregorian Chant is, after all, first and foremost prayer. Therefore, a proper musical interpretation must be firmly rooted in, influenced and guided by a deep spiritual and liturgical understanding of these chants, and we must strive to live our lives in accordance and harmony with them, i.e. truly live our Faith.

"Laetare Jerusalem" is the introit (entrance) chant for the 4th Sunday of Lent which, like Gaudete Sunday in Advent, is a Sunday of rejoicing. The words "laetare" and "gaudete" in fact mean "rejoice"! In Advent, we are rejoicing because of proximity of the birth of our Savior; but here in Lent, we are rejoicing because of the proximity of the promise of our Savior, our salvation itself, by His death and resurrection.

Pope Benedict died on 31 December with these words: "Jesus, I love you".
In the Catholic Church there is a tradition of reciting the Name of Jesus 1,000 times on May 3rd, the Feast of the Invention of the Cross. Today, when we celebrate the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, we want to adopt this tradition by chanting "Yeshua" (Jesus in Hebrew) 1,000 times. With this act, we want to accompany Pope Benedict XVI and also invite you to sing with us for him, so that he may soon be able to behold God in all His glory, as he so longed for. At the same time, we also offer it as thanksgiving for all that he did for the Lord and for the Church.
Requiescat in pace!

“My Song is Love Unknown” Anointed to Remove Apathy _ Sing and Pray-Along with Joy & Patrick
Sing with us and let this anointed music touch and open your heart to the depth of love unknown to us, composed in 1664 by Samuel Crossman. The hymn tune used, “Love Unknown,” is by John Ireland.
This music is anointed to capture the great love of An Innocent Man who was tortured, crucified, and put to death 2000 years ago. Why did He make that sacrifice? He wanted the blind to see, the crippled to walk, the oppressed to be set free, and the sick to get healed by His Precious Blood. Yet, many hearts are closed.

King David in Psalm 88 tells us that he will sing forever of the Lord's mercy. He has been so merciful to me, and now it is my joy to sing of His mercy and respond to it in my daily life with conversion of heart and to help others know how merciful He is to the repentant sinner.

To the best of my knowledge, the melody of this chant, "Attende Domine", comes from a 17th century codex while the text comes from a 10th century Mozarabic codex. It speaks of the penitent's admission of his sin and guilt, without ever giving way to depression or despair, wonderfully captured by the joyful yet peaceful melody. The soul, full of trust, confesses its sins and calmly places itself in hands of its Redeemer, knowing, without a doubt, that He will forgive those who are truly sorry for their sins.

Here is a behind the scenes look at a typical winter day in my life, off the grid, in north Idaho (filmed in January, 2023). The house shown in the first 2/3 of the video is my own house, which I built, almost entirely by myself in the span of about 3 months (doing nothing but working on the house), back in 2020. It is far from finished, but with God's help and good time, it will be finished some day. The area in which the house is located, when we first bought the property, was so thickly covered in brush and trees you could only make your way through it by a very small game trail, with hardly any sense of direction. It took a lot of work to get the hillside cleared enough to begin building the house, the chicken yard, the wood shelter, the garden, etc. Special thanks to my sister-in-law, who claims she doesn't know anything about filming, for filming this for me.

A lighthearted song with a profound message: Sin enslaves us. It separates us from God. Only Jesus our Savior can set us free by forgiving us and granting us His love and grace. As St. Paul points out, now is the acceptable time, the time of my salvation - there may not be a tomorrow. Hence the call to penance and to proclaim Jesus is Lord (and not with empty words, but with conversion of heart).

From NewAdvent.org: The Ave Regina Caelorum is one of four Antiphons of the Blessed Virgin sung in the Divine Office in turn throughout the year, and is assigned from Compline of February 2nd to Compline of Holy Wednesday. It recalls the part Mary had in the drama of the reopening of Heaven to men and shows her as reigning there Queen of Angels. Its date of composition is uncertain, but... [it's earliest appearance is] found in the St. Alban's Book of the twelfth century. ... Bernard [Le Breviaire (Paris, 1887), II, 454 sqq.] says it was introduced into the Divine Office by Clement VI in the fourteenth century.

Truth be told, I wrote this song in the wake of the Theodore McCarrick scandal. Indeed what does it profit a man to gain the whole world losing his soul in the process? Jesus, have mercy on us! Mother Mary, guide and protect us! St. Joseph, keep us strong in our Catholic Faith!

"Alma Redemptoris Mater" is one the four Marian "antiphons" sung during the four liturgical seasons. The antiphons are traditionally sung after Compline (and sometimes after Mass), with the "Alma" being sung from the 1st Sunday of Advent until Vespers of The Purification of Mary, February 2.
Hermannus Contractus is believed to have composed this in the 11th century based on the writings of Saints Fulgentius, Epiphanius, and Irenaeus of Lyon, referring to the Blessed Virgin as "Star of the Sea" and "Gate of heaven," upon whom all nature stared in wonder: a virgin mother! giving birth to her Creator!

You came from afar for a census, they say,
With your virgin bride and a Child on the way.
To Bethlehem come, the “House of Bread,”
The City of David, but no room, no bed.
Sent to a cave, a stall for some beasts.
There you went to prepare the King’s feast.
Tell us dear Joseph, what did you see?
An ox, an ass, and a manger of feed.
CHORUS:
Jesus, Messiah, Emmanuel! Glory to the God of Israel!
Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in altissimis,
Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis!
Tell us dear Joseph, how could this be?
That God sent His Son setting us free,
But no one would come, no one would care,
No one adore, no one be there?
Yet the birth of the Babe brings joy to the land.
The birth of the Savior, revealing God’s plan.
And Angels proclaim, they sing to the Lord.
Shepherds make haste, they come and adore.
CHORUS
He lay in a manger that holy night.
On Christmas Eve – all sorrows took flight.
And piercing the dark – a glowing new star!
And kings in wonder, they came from afar.
CHORUS
This is the devotional chant "Rorate Caeli," different and separate from the Introit chant of the same title, but obviously related. According to a Wikipedia article, "In the seventeenth century, [the] Rorate Caeli was arranged into a hymn combining the traditional text with other scriptural passages used in the liturgy for Advent. The earliest known version is in the Oratorian Officia Propria (1673); it also appears in French diocesan rites, such as the Rouen Processional of 1729 and 1763. ...Under the heading, "Prayer of the Churches of France during Advent", Dom Guéranger [,the great restorer of the Abbey of Solesmes, in his multi-volume work "The Liturgical Year"] gives it as an antiphon to each of a series of prayers ("Ne irascaris ", "Peccavimus", "Vide Domine", "Consolamini") expressive of penitence, expectation, comfort, and furnishes the Latin text and an English rendering of the Prayer." When the text speaks of Sion and Jerusalem being desolate and destroyed, we can this as representative of our own souls, ruined by sin, but restored by penance and God's grace. The harmony in this is by my good friends @HarpaDeiMusic.

Lyrics...
I said, “Lord when will I have the faith,
To walk on water, to walk on water.”
He said, “Child what do you think you are doing now?
You walk on water. You’re walking on water…
CHORUS:
Whenever you choose to follow Me,
When you believe, oh, but you cannot see,
You walk by faith and not by sight, oh,
You walk on water. You’re walking on water.
You walk on water. You’re walking on water.
I said, “Lord, I believe help my unbelief,
And I’ll walk on water, yeah I’ll walk on water.
He said, “My child you must believe in Me,
And the One who sent Me, the One who sent Me…
CHORUS
So I begin to walk across that sea,
To walk on water, to walk on the water.
But storms, waves and winds they come at me,
And I sink in the water, oh no! I’m sinking in water…
I said, “Lord, my Lord please save me.
I’m sinking in the water, sinking in water!”
He said, “Child never doubt. You can trust in Me,
And you’ll walk on water. You’re walking on water…
CHORUS
