OREWORD

Since its publication in 2007, Communio has been welcomed and

well used by scholas and cantors. Clearly, a collection of its kind,

dedicated to a single, relatively accessible genre of the Gregorian

repertoire, was needed to inspire more than a few nascent forays

into Latin chant, and, one hopes, to begin the restoration of the

Church’s glorious treasure of plainsong to the regular liturgical life

of our parishes. By making Psalm verses easily available, the col-

lection enables a fuller singing of the Communion ritual using

these otherwise relatively simple chants.

In retrospect, including Psalm verses in Latin only may have

been a leap, rather than a step. Some have found the use of exclu-

sively Latin song resisted in their particular congregations in no

uncertain terms. In order to both encourage the reception of Latin

chant, and to provide the sort of edification our congregations tend

to demand (one of the better fruits of the liturgical movement, it

seems to me), a better bridge is needed.

This alternative version of Communio attempts such a bridge by

providing the authentic Communion chants, as in the original, but

accompanied by Psalm verses in English. To expedite the adapta-

tion process, and to avoid inevitable copyright conundrums, I have

used the translations found in the original Communio, which fol-

low the Douay-Rheims

whose archaic treatment of the English

seems a more gratifying accompaniment to the Latin chant. (Some

may disagree, and are certainly free to use another translation,

adapting the psalmtones accordingly.)

Whereas the original Communio used the Introit tones for the

Latin verses, in this collection I have employed the simpler, more

regular tones of the Divine Office, as found in the Liber usualis.

Years of experience have taught me these tones are much more re-

liable (if not exactly foolproof) for singing English psalmody. Be-

low, I outline in a cursory way my approach to adapting the

rhythm of the tones to the cadence of the English texts (no doubt,

in a way guaranteed to annoy anyone versed in this daunting, and

ultimately eccentric, process). I have tried to keep my method as

true to the original formulas as possible, mirroring their graceful

flexibility, with no thought to the rigorous, often complex rhythmic

systems employed by other (probably more enlightened) adaptors.

Also to expedite the process, I have notated the English verses

using a system of pointing. Probably the premiere rationale for the

original Communio was to provide verses with their music written

out in full. I understand how important this is for beginning chant-

ers. On the other hand, I cannot overstate what a project it makes

iv Communio with English Verses

of the engraver’s task. Furthermore, the chanting of psalmody (in-

deed, of any liturgical text) demands an ability to sing from

pointed texts. Our ongoing search for the definitive English trans-

lation of the liturgy alone requires it, as does the use of many ex-

isting resources, including those from other Christian traditions. It

is, in short, a requisite skill of liturgical musicians, well worth the

patient effort needed to master.

I have kept the translations of the Communion chants them-

selves, but have given them the pointing necessary to be sung, per-

haps as a last verse. It may well be that congregations will more

readily open themselves to the Latin original if they are able to

hear what the words mean. On the other hand, for less-poetical

Biblical texts, such as those from the New Testament, versification

does not always help their understandability, and a written transla-

tion provided in a worship aid might be the better way to go.

While I have used the verses given in the original, I have limited

their selection to those which, along with the Communion chant,

could fit comfortably on a single page. This should provide a

roughly uniform amount of music, with the requisite repetitions of

the chant. (While I admire the enthusiasm of those who would sing

all the verses listed in the Graduale Romanum, I can’t imagine it in

practice. Surely, we want to impress our people with the beauty of

these chants, not with their potential tedium! For a protracted

Communion rite, I would advocate a judicious use of alius cantus

aptus instead.) Rather than try to edit the original reference, I have

given only book and chapter, without specifying the verses I chose.

While the original Communio was suitable for both the Ordinary

and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite, English verses are not

appropriate for the Extraordinary Form. I have therefore removed

the liturgical index for the 1962 Missal. However, I have left the

few Communion chants unique to the Sundays of that Missal, on

the off chance they can be used elsewhere (possibly ad libitum) in

the Ordinary Form of the Rite. The collection remains selective,

and incomplete for all the possibilities given in the modern Gradu-

ale Romanum—lacunae easily enough remedied by anyone who

has mastered the method found in this collection.

This will be necessarily a brief overview of my approach to

adapting English texts to Office psalmtones. A proper defense re-

quires a thesis beyond the scope of these pages. Others have given

detailed analyses of the problem, some of which can be found

through the CMAA website [www.MusicaSacra.com]. My own

system stems from regularly singing the Divine Office in Latin,

together with two decades experimenting with various ways to

adapt the Office formulas to English text. While I would like to

report a clear, clean, and consistent system for such adaptation,

twenty years later I am convinced that such a system does not ex-

ist. On the other hand, despite relying heavily on my own intuitive

musicality, I feel reasonably confident that my approach does jus-

tice to the spirit of the Latin, as it appears in the Liber usualis and

Antiphonale monasticum, without offending the vernacular texts

being set.

For this collection, I have limited my choice of psalmtones to the

standard eight modes, and my choice of termination cadences to a

single one per mode. (Some chants use a transposed version of the

mode, which is reflected in the accompanying psalmtone.) Further-

more, I have avoided the use of a flex by selecting verses that do

not require an intermediate cadence. (For longer phrases, espe-

cially with intervening punctuation, a slight pause on the recitation

seems adequate.)

Verse formulas have two parts, corresponding to their two ca-

dences: mediation and termination. Both cadences are preceded by

an expandable recitation that receives the bulk of the text (but may

be as short as a single syllable). For the standard eight modes, the

reciting tone is the same for both halves of the formula.

The first verse begins with a fixed intonation formula, which car-

ries the first two syllables of the text. The intonation is used for the

first verse sung following the Communion antiphon, and after each

of its repetitions. Subsequent verses begin immediately on the

recitation. (In this collection, the majority of verses come in pairs,

though occasionally I use a group of three, and rarely a single

verse as the last. Single, double, or triple, only the first verse fol-

lowing the Communion antiphon uses the intonation.)

Cadential formulas employ accents, tones that mark a movement

in the melodic formula, which tend to correspond to an accented

syllable in the text or, in many cases, a secondary or presumed ac-

cent. However, formula accents may or may not correspond to the

musical ictus, a discussion beyond the scope of this introduction.

vi Communio with English Verses

Formulas accommodate up to two subsequent or intervening un-

accented syllables, with auxiliaries (hollow notes) used only as

needed. Where the accent falls on a clivis (Mode III), the auxiliary

is placed before the regular accent, and itself receives the accent

when used (see example below).

Other cadential notes, or groups of notes (neumes) are used as

preparatory tones, and carry one, two, or three syllables preceding

the (first) accent. Each preparatory tone receives a single syllable,

whether accented or unaccented.

For a more complete discussion of accents, auxiliaries, and pre-

paratory tones, read the descriptions of chanting the Psalms in the

Liber usualis and Antiphonale monasticum (or translations in other

chant manuals). Indeed, there is no better way to master the

method than chanting the Latin psalmody found in these venerable

collections.

ROUPING AND

IVIDING THE

ERSES

The original Communio follows the custom of singing a single

verse, followed by a repetition of the Communion chant. When

applied to English verses on a simple psalmtone, the result seems

rather terse. Instead, I have grouped the verses in pairs, much like

the modern Responsorial Psalm. In a few cases, I have grouped

three verses, and only rarely have used a single verse, usually as

the last. Groups are numbered and divided under each half of the

psalmtone, and the Communion chant is repeated after each num-

bered group:

1a Shout with joy to God, all the earth, *

sing ye a psalm to his name; give glory to his praise.

1b Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! *

in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.

2a Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: *

let it sing a psalm to thy name.

2b Come and see the works of God: *

who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.

OINTING THE

EXT

I indicate with a vertical slash | the point in the text where the

recitation ends and the cadential formula (mediation or termina-

tion) begins. From that point, each syllable receives a single note

or two-note group (podatus, with the bottom note sung first, or

clivis). If the text requires it, the syllable marked in italics receives

an auxiliary note (indicated by a hollow punctum in the psalm-

tone). Cadences of two accents may require two auxiliary notes.

I have not specially marked syllables sung on the intonation,

except to hyphenate the syllables that take separate notes. The into-

nation is used for the first of each group of verses, after each repe-

tition of the Communion chant. Subsequent verses begin directly

on the recitation.

In cases where there were not enough syllables to take the full

formula, I indicate the omission in the text (- - -). For first verses,

this invariably means to skip the intonation, and begin on the reci-

tation. For other verses, and when followed by a | , it means to skip

the recitation, and begin immediately on the cadential formula. For

example:

Mode IV

BvvhvvvGYvvvv xxxgvvvhvvvjvvv¦vvvhb.vvv}

1. - - - |whom shall I fear?

of whom |shall I be a-fraid?

is sung:

BzzvvfvvvvvvGYvvvzzgvbvvfb,vvv]b

|whom shall I fear? etc.

I have pointed the translation of the Communion chant itself

using the same system. I have marked half verses (following the

mediation) with the traditional asterisk *, and have divided some

longer texts into two verses, using a backslash \ .

3. Cadences of two accents (mediation of modes I, III, and VII;

termination of modes V and VII) take more care to navigate the

two possible auxiliaries:

Mode VII

is sung:

VvzzvygvzbvvHUvvzzjvvvzzzjvvvzjxzzzzzzlvvvzzvvvkzzzvvvjvvvkvvvkb/vvv]bvzvjvvvvvzvkvvvvzzzzjvvbbb÷

1. The des-ert and the |parched land will ex- ult; the |steppe will

re-joice and bloom. The glo- ry of Le-ba-non will be |giv-en to

Vzbvkb/vvz]bvvbjvvvvzzzjvvvvzjvvvzjvvvvbkvvvzbjzzvvvjzzzzbvvvhvvvvgb,vv}xxxcvbbbb

them, the splen-dor of |Car-mel and Shar-on.

Notice the four ways you can realize a cadence of two accents:

1) with no auxiliaries (“giv-en to them”); 2) with only the first

auxiliary (“Car-mel and Shar-on”); 3) with only the second auxil-

iary (“parched land will ex-ult”); and 4) with both auxiliaries

(“steppe will re-joice and bloom”). Recognizing these patterns at

sight will take practice, and beginners may need to make addi-

tional, personally meaningful marks in the text to absorb the sys-

tem (such as marking the second moving note after the auxiliary).

xiv Communio with English Verses

4. The mediation of Mode III is also a cadence of two accents,

but its second accent is treated in a special way, as the following

example demonstrates:

Mode III

BvvgvvvHIvvv xxx

lvvv¨vvvkvvv¨vvvuhvvvkb/vvv]zø

1. I will bless the |Lord at all times,

In the |Lord shall my soul be praised;

The second of the two accents is normally carried by the two-note

group (clivis):

BvvgvvvHIvvvvzzkvvvzzzkbxlvvvbkvvbvuhvbvvkb/vvv}

I will bless the |Lord at all times,

But in order to accommodate an extra syllable, the accent is moved

to the auxiliary preceding the clivis, and the clivis itself becomes

unaccented:

Bvvkvvbzzkbxlvvvbvzbkvvvvzkvvbvbkvvvuhzzbvbvvkb/vvv}

In the |Lord shall my soul be praised;

The same phrase in Mode VII would be sung:

Vvvbjcjcclvvvzzzzkvzvvvkvvvbbbjvzbvvkvzzzzzvvkb/vvv}

In the |Lord shall my soul be praised;

So in both modes, the word “soul” receives the second accent; but

in Mode III, it is italicized to indicate that it receives the auxiliary

before the two-note clivis. This phenomenon of Mode III occurs

just enough to be confusing, and will require special care and at-

tention before it begins to feel natural.

USICAL AND

EXTUAL

CCENTS

Latin textual accents are significantly more regular than those of

English. Consequently, one must think differently about accents

when singing the Gregorian formulas in the vernacular. In fact, the

term accent has been responsible for a great deal of confusion

when applied to the chanting of psalmody. Let’s be clear: In the

Communio with English Verses xv

context of psalmtones, accent refers to a point of movement, rather

than any sort of quantitative emphasis or vocal stress. In the Liber

and other classic sources, the (first) accent mark is used to indicate

the upward movement of the melodic formula. Now, in a real

sense, this upward movement does, in fact, constitute a sort of

quantitative emphasis. Some suggest this reflects the various met-

rical schemes of classical poetry, which employed some sort of

quantitative emphasis. But such emphasis would have been in the

order of pitch (a heightening of the voice) or length (stretching the

accented syllable). It almost certainly had nothing to do with the

sort of accent we associate with modern music, which mostly

involves loudness.

However accent was conceived in classical poetry, and however

that might relate to Gregorian psalmtones, one thing is clear: The

Gregorian formulas accommodate the Latin accent in a direct and

complementary way. (This assumes you accept the idea of Latin

textual accent at all, and don’t dismiss it as a late-medieval impo-

sition on the classical language.) At least as it has been practiced in

the Church for centuries, Gregorian psalmtones and Latin accents

go together with a remarkable degree of complement.

The same cannot be said when the tones are applied to English.

Here, the idea of accent has to be very subtly understood, and the

singer must treat the psalmtone cadences with extreme flexibility,

adjusting his rhythmic understanding of the melodies for virtually

each new line of English text he sings. In my opinion, anything

more becomes an unwieldy and convoluted system (adding more

auxiliaries, dividing two-note groups, etc.) which defies compre-

hension (short of writing out all the music). On the other hand,

anything less becomes an oversimplification, a tendency to sing the

psalmtone accents with no regard for, and to the general deforma-

tion of, the English text.

Especially when applied to English texts, Gregorian psalmtones

provide a melodic framework, whose realized rhythm (and, to

some extent, whose metricality) must depend first and foremost on

the text being sung. (This might sound strange, coming from a

partisan of the classic Solesmes-Mocquereau system of chant

rhythm. But Mocquereau never advocated the musical rhythm at

the expense of the text; rather, for him, it was the seemingly inde-

pendent, yet amazingly complementary, rhythms of music and text

that together comprise the Gregorian art. When it comes to chant-

ing psalmody, the modest rhythms of the simple melodies must

necessarily bow to a sensitive declamation of the text.)

OME

ETRICAL

XAMPLES

To see how this works in practice, take the following examples. (I

am setting aside the question of chironomy and the placement of

the rhythmic ictus, which is not the focus here.)

1. A simple, regular cadence is easy to sing because it corresponds

most closely with our modern sense of meter:

Mode II or VIII

Bvzzvgvvvzbbvvhvvvbkvzzvzkvzbvbbbkzzzzbbzzzzzblvvbvkzbbvvvkb/vvv}

What shall I ren-der |to the Lord,

might be transcribed:

2. Taking away the auxiliary makes the rhythm less regular, but

still negotiable:

Bvzkbvbbvzkzzzbbbbvvzkvvvvkvvvvzkzbbvvzzkbvvzkvvbbzkvvzzvzblvbvvkb/vvv}

I will take the chal-ice of sal-|va-tion;

3. The problem comes when the textual rhythm is noticeably less

regular:

Bvzkbbvbbvzkbbbbvvzkvvzvkvvvvbbzblvvvzkvbvvkb/vv}bvvvkvvvzzzkvvvvzkvvvvzzkvvvzkvvvvzzzlvvvvvvzkb/vv}

For who is God |but the Lord? God who hath girt me |with strength,

Communio with English Verses xvii

In the first phrase, I would sing a slight tenuto on “God” to com-

pensate for the moving note that follows. (Moving on “but” makes

better sense to me than moving on “the”.) In the second phrase, the

moving note loses its sense of accent altogether, and becomes part

of the penultimate rhythm. (This rhythm happens frequently, and I

have tried to be consistent when pointing it…unless another option

sounded better to me.)

Of course, some people solve the problem by taking advantage of

the rhythmic concession for treating final single-syllable words, by

which one ends on the moving note of the mediant:

Bvkbbvbbvzkbbbbvvzkvvzvkvvvvkvvvzkvbvvvvzlb/vv}bzvvkvvvzzzkvvvvzkvvvvzzkvvvzkvzzvzzzkvvvvvvzzzzlb/vv}

For who is God but the |Lord? God who hath girt me with |strength,

I find this very unsatisfying, if only because what is rare in the

Latin (or Hebrew, which is frequently the single-syllable word in

question) becomes positively pandemic in the English, if used con-

sistently. It makes the psalmtone unnecessarily ambiguous to my

ear.

4. Rhythmic difficulty is multiplied when the cadential formula

includes a second accent. Here is our Mode VII example above

realized:

Is it necessary to resort to such arbitrary mixed meters using bar-

lines? Those who transcribe chant into modern notation rarely do,

although many preserve a sense of the rhythmic groupings by

xviii Communio with English Verses

beaming the eighth notes. But notwithstanding an equalist ap-

proach, psalmtone recitation demands some sort of mental organi-

zation that is at least subliminally perceptible to the listener. It

needn’t be the stylized declamation of the stage (much less the sort

of quasi-metrical rendering one hears from the mensuralist school

of chant rhythm), but neither should it be the mechanical ham-

mering out of equal notes.

What this example should demonstrate is that cadential formulas

of two accents do not necessarily correspond to two word accents;

rather, they indicate two points of melodic movement that must be

rendered rhythmically. In the third phrase, the first moving note is

on the first syllable of “given”, a clear textual accent; however, the

second moving note is on the word “to”, in this case clearly not a

textual accent. The realized rhythm, rather than remaining strictly

two accents, becomes instead a compound rhythm that maintains

the integrity of the melody, while easily accommodating the tex-

tual cadence. Barlines and beams help modern musicians see how

the two—music and text—interact to create a musical, rather than

a mechanical, expression.

It is up to the singer to realize this subtle interplay of music and

text, whenever he chants a Psalm on a musical formula, but espe-

cially when that Psalm is in English. Sensitive declamation of the

text, an essential part of any chant rehearsal, must be the first step

in reading, absorbing, and rendering pointed psalmody. Our calling

and duty demand it. In all aspects of liturgical singing, but espe-

cially in our singing of the Psalms, we must move beyond the role

of a soloist enamored of his own voice, and take up the role of a

psalmist in love with the Church’s liturgical texts.
