ADVENT MUSIC HONORS THE SEASON
Advent begins the weekend of November 26-27.
Advent has a two-fold character, for it is a time of preparation for . . . Christmas
in which the First Coming of the Son of God to humanity is remembered
and likewise a time when, by remembrance of this,
minds and hearts are led to look forwar
to Christ’s Second Coming at the end of time.
For these two reasons,
Advent is a period of devout and expectant delight.
(Universal Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, 39)
The use of the organ and other musical instruments . . .
should be done in a moderate manner,
as is consonant with the character of the season,
without anticipating the full joy of Christmas.
(Ceremonial of Bishops [1989], 236)
What does this mean for our Advent liturgical music?
Firstly, our Mass setting will change to the quieter,
more chantlike Mass in Honor of Saint Ignatius.
The Glory to God is omitted, except on
the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.
More reflective instrumental preludes and postludes
will be played. And - as has been our practice
during the more “sparse” Christian seasons –
there will be no closing hymn,
since this is neither required nor mentioned
in the Order of Mass.
By observing these musical practices,
we honor the character of the Advent season,
and we allow ourselves to enter more fully
into the spirit of “devout and expectant delight.”
We are waiting,
we are waiting for the Lord to come down
and be with us.
(Thomas Keesecker)
