As technology has improved, it has become easier for more companies to produce their own hymnals (and negotiate with dozens of copyright holders, not all of whom have always been willing to grant permission to reprint their music.)<\/p>\n<p>One new entrant to the hymnal market is The <em>Saint Augustine Hymnal<\/em>, first edition, a product of <a href=\"http:\/\/ilpmusic.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">International Liturgy Publications (ILP) <\/a>of Nashville, TN, founded in 1977. The company, founded by composer and performer Vince Ambrosetti, represents dozens of artists, composers and authors. \u00a0Almost all of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilpmusic.org\/Merchant2\/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=59017a35eeecf1da3fc305b6a414546b&amp;Screen=CMP\" target=\"_blank\">the names on their roster<\/a> are unfamiliar to me. \u00a0Some seem to have a connection to charismatic Catholic movements, which have inspired their own repertoire. The best-known song in ILP\u2019s catalog is \u201cGift of Finest Wheat\u201d; they also handle the rights to Dan Feiten\u2019s \u201cSeed, Scattered and Sown,\u201d and Donald Fishel\u2019s \u201cAlleluia, Alleluia, Give Thanks.\u201d This review considers the hardcover edition of the hymnal; the contents differ between the hardcover and softcover versions of this hymnal.\u00a0 (The latter is more of a missalette, usable for three years.)<\/p>\n<p>The hymnal is an attractive volume, with a black cover and silver embossed letters, and nicely typeset with a wide, readable font. The lyrics are spaced with gaps between each group of three stanzas, which adds to readability. The hymnal includes over one thousand musical items. These include the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.massofrenewal.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Mass of Renewal<\/em><\/a>, which won the NPM New Mass Setting competition in 2011, and is interlined with the Mass texts here. Five other mass ordinaries are included, along with 150 settings of psalm and canticle antiphons. The only ritual texts besides Mass are those for Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction. To my disappointment, there is only one index in the published hymnal, though <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilpmusic.org\/Merchant2\/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=59017a35eeecf1da3fc305b6a414546b&amp;Screen=CTGY&amp;Store_Code=VA&amp;Category_Code=SAHIndex\" target=\"_blank\">many more are available online<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The preface explains the desire of the publishers to offer music from a wide variety of eras, and \u201cthe fullest possible representation of all Catholic publishers.\u201d\u00a0 They have largely succeeded on both counts. There are dozens of items from OCP Publications and World Library Publications, both \u201cclassics\u201d from NALR and Lucien Deiss, as well as more recent compositions. As with many other hardbound hymnals, they are handicapped by not being able to include works from GIA Publications.\u00a0 Many well-known hymns are included; you will find \u201cLift High the Cross,\u201d \u201cAmazing Grace,\u201d \u201cO God, Beyond All Praising,\u201d and many more. \u00a0As always, there are a few idiosyncratic choices. Seeing \u201cImmortal, Invisible, God Only Wise\u201d with a newly-composed tune feels like a disservice to the many who would know it with ST. DENIO. It also seems odd to see a reasonably faithful version of \u201cFaith of Our Fathers,\u201d but a rewritten version of \u201cWe Gather Together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of common chants (in modern stemmed notation), often in both Latin and English.\u00a0 There is also a strong representation of the praise and worship genre (including, for instance, \u201cRefiner\u2019s Fire,\u201d \u201cShout to the Lord,\u201d and \u201cIn the Secret.\u201d)\u00a0 The inclusion of these songs is another sign of the maturity of the genre. A number of items seemed especially appropriate for children\u2019s liturgies; I recognized some popular works by Jack Miffleton and Christopher Walker. However, I was disappointed at the lack of music in other languages in this book; besides a handful of bilingual (English-Spanish) songs, all the music is in English or Latin.<\/p>\n<p>The preface explains the editors\u2019 desire for singable keys. Much of the music here is displayed one to three half-steps lower than in many other hymnals. For instance, one finds WINCHESTER NEW in A-flat, \u201cHow Great Thou Art\u201d in A-flat, and NETTLETON in C. These keys would make SATB singing more difficult, but many Catholic congregations sing only in unison. One could certainly argue that this range best suits the vocal abilities of the average congregation now. Presenting the hymns in these lower keys in the hymnal is largely cosmetic \u2013 competent musicians are free now to play hymns in whatever key they wish \u2013 but it could encourage more accompanists to play them in these lower keys.<\/p>\n<p>I appreciated that the hymnal is especially scrupulous in listing the inspirations and sources for their texts. A large number of the selections new to me are drawn from scripture, writings of saints, and writings of the church fathers. However, there are many cases where different composers were inspired by the same texts, which makes titles quite confusing. For instance, there are four \u201cBe With Me, Lord\u201ds, three \u201cCome, Holy Spirit, Come\u201ds, and three \u201cI am the Way\u201ds. There are three musical settings of the Prayer of St. Francis with virtually the same text, which seems excessive. I suspect many Roman Catholics will be surprised to not find Marty Haugen\u2019s piece at \u201cShepherd Me, O God,\u201d or Suzanne Toolan\u2019s piece at \u201cI am the Bread of Life,\u201d or the Taiz\u00e9 piece at \u201cJesus, Remember Me.\u201d\u00a0 It feels a little misleading, almost a bait and switch, to find these new pieces there; it\u2019s also unfair to these new pieces to have to be compared to a more famous piece with the same name.<\/p>\n<p>What is really striking about this hymnal is how much of it is comprised of ILP\u2019s own authors. This is, of course, standard practice for virtually every hymnal. But the index by copyright online suggests that this book is over 50% ILP copyrights, and I suspect this is repertoire that many Roman Catholics do not know. \u00a0ILP has a daunting challenge in that they are not one of the better-known Catholic publishers.\u00a0 Their Web site shows that its contributors are working pastoral musicians in parishes across the country, so I\u2019m confident that these new pieces have been field-tested with congregations and worked well. I have no doubt that there are a good number of quality pieces in this hymnal. But it feels like ILP is providing hundreds of new songs that most congregations won\u2019t have time to learn.<\/p>\n<p>A few authors and composers are so dominant as to be overwhelming. A quick count shows that there are over 125 hymns and songs in this book where Vince Ambrosetti, listed as the publisher, claims a significant textwriting or composing credit; Jim Cowan, over 60. Given the diversity of Roman Catholic liturgical music \u2013 and the diversity that this hymnal represents \u2013 I would question whether any one person should be so heavily represented. It\u2019s especially striking in certain thematic areas of the hymnal; Mr. Ambrosetti is responsible for virtually all the \u201cOrdination and Profession\u201d hymns; Mr. Cowan, a heavy majority of the \u201cEucharistic Adoration and Benediction\u201d section. \u00a0Having one composer responsible for most of the music in a specific area seems myopic, both musically and theologically.<\/p>\n<p>Samples of some ILP songs from the hymnal are available on their Web site. I think these samples do the hymnal a disservice, as they are largely soloistic renderings of pieces new to me that make me wonder if they\u2019re meant to be congregational. They suggest to me that ILP focuses on praise and worship music, and I\u2019m not sure if such is the case.<\/p>\n<p>By releasing this hymnal and stressing their own music so heavily, ILP believes that they have a contribution to make to the scene of contemporary Catholic liturgical music. \u00a0I wonder how this hymnal will age \u2013 which hymns and songs from this book will people still be singing in fifteen or twenty years? This hymnal would work well for a parish with a strong praise and worship music ministry, with few non-English speakers, which wants to make the <em>Mass of Renewal<\/em> a keystone of their ritual music. For other parishes, this book may be a useful resource, but it falls short of the editors&#8217; noble goal of being a &#8220;universal experience of the musical liturgy.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An attractive volume, <I>The Saint Augustine Hymnal<\/I> provides a respectable range of musical styles and publishers &#8230; But it feels like ILP is providing hundreds of new songs that most congregations won\u2019t have time to learn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[20,22,1394],"tags":[1463,2127,2129,2130,2126,2128],"class_list":["post-15814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-general","category-music-hymns","category-music-mass-settings","tag-hymnal-review","tag-ilp-publications","tag-jim-cowan","tag-mass-of-renewal","tag-saint-augustine-hymnal","tag-vince-ambrosetti"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Hymnal review: The Saint Augustine Hymnal - Home<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/index.php\/2012\/08\/06\/hymnal-review-the-saint-augustine-hymnal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Hymnal review: The Saint Augustine Hymnal - Home\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"An attractive volume, The Saint Augustine Hymnal provides a respectable range of musical styles and publishers ...
