Liturgical Hints & Ideas

During Ordinary Time in Year B we will highlight passages from the 2010 General Instruction on the Roman Missal (GIRM) that pertain to music during the liturgy. The GIRM contains rubrics and instructions (some of them surprising) for the celebration of the Mass. The first section below is a direct quote from the document. The second section is a commentary on the passage.

Particular Ministries (GIRM #104)

It is fitting that there be a cantor or choir director to direct and support the people's singing. Indeed, when there is no choir, it is up to the cantor to direct the different chants, with the people taking the part proper to them.

Commentary: This paragraph has, in my opinion, been grossly overemphasized to the detriment of congregational singing. Its sense seems to be that the cantor should lead the people in singing by alternating with them on the proper parts. The current practice is not implied wherein the cantor feels the need to sing every congregational part (hymns, through-composed Mass settings, acclamations) into a microphone. One HUGELY AMPLIFIED voice, over-powering everyone else, can produce enough sound to more than carry the music. In that unfortunate circumstance, there's simply no invitation (or reason) for anyone else to even attempt singing.
