Subscribers to the Church Music Association of America’s journal Sacred Music have been reading work by our students this year.
The Spring 2024 issue featured a fantastic article about Polish-American composer Eugeniusz Walkiewicz by Jeffrey Quick, along with one of Quick’s fantastic editions, this time Walkiewicz’s Missa in honorem S. Josephi Sponsi Beatae Mariae Virginis, a lovely Ordinary for organ and congregation or unison choir.
In the Fall 2024 issue the reader finds a helpful survey of several alternatim masses, which alternate polyphony and chant, by José Ballón Vasquez, along with his edition of Palestrina’s Kyrie from his 1592 Missa Dominicalis, based on the Orbis Factor chants of Mass XI.
The forthcoming issue, Winter 2024, showcases Anton Bruckner’s Tota pulchra es in an article by Colleen Maher Bond.
Recent issues have also contained a fantastic series on the Psalms of Sunday Vespers by faculty member and chaplain of the CISM, Fr. Joshua Neu.
Congratulations, students and faculty, for your wonderful work!
