CMAA's New Release: Communio: Communion Antiphon with Psalms

Adoremus has an interview with Jeffrey Tucker (managing editor of the journal Sacred Music, published by the Church Music Association of America; director of the St. Cecilia Schola Cantorum in Auburn, Alabama; and a member of the board of directors of CMAA), in its most recent edition of the Adoremus Bulletin:

A significant event in the field of sacred music occurred this June, when the Church Music Association of America (CMAA) released a new book that is sure to become an essential part of every parish musician’s working library: Communio: Communion Antiphons with Psalms, edited by Richard Rice.

Adoremus interviewed CMAA’s Jeffrey Tucker, who believes that this book “could change the way a parish experiences the Communion rite”.

“Following the rubrics as the Church has given us”, he says, “could cause our liturgical experience to be much more beautiful, and much more … Catholic”.

Would that this would come to pass!

An excellent interview by Adoremus with great insights by Tucker - this is something which should be sent to every bishop, I would think, and perhaps even to parish priests!
