The author is <em>Pray&nbsp;Tell&#8217;s&nbsp;<\/em>own Dr. Liborius Lumma, liturgy professor at Innsbruck University and board member of the German section of the International Association for Studies of Gregorian Chant (AISCGre). Each commentary will first appear as a featured post on the Tuesday before the coming Sunday, and after a day or two it will move to the Plaza. In each case a link will be provided to the &#8220;corrected&#8221; melody as  found at Anton Stingl&#8217;s <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregor-und-taube.de\/Materialien\/materialien.html\">Gregor&nbsp;und&nbsp;Taube<\/a><\/em> (Gregory and the Dove).

Established in 1960, this day is dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God, to whose protection we entrust the new year. It is also the end of the Christmas Octave and \u2013 according to the Biblical chronology (Luke 2:21) \u2013 the day of Jesus\u2019 circumcision, which is the Gospel reading in the Mass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is a lot for one single day, hence the Roman ordo offers a choice\nof two introits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Salve sancta Parens, enixa puerpera Regem, qui caelum terramque regit in saecula saeculorum.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Hail, holy Mother, giving birth to the King who reigns over heaven and earth unto the ages of ages.)<br><br>or<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Lux fulgebit hodie super nos: quia natus est nobis Dominus: et vocabitur Admirabilis, Deus, Princeps pacis, Pater futuri saeculi: cuius regni non erit finis.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(Radiant light will shine over us today, for the Lord is born for us, and he will be called the admirable, God, prince of peace, father of the future age; his kingdom will never end,\u201d a compilation of verses of Is. 9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first of these texts, <em>Salve\nsancta Parens,<\/em> is not from the Bible and is not part of the original early medieval\ntreasury of chant. For those who want to understand the spirit of the early\nMiddle Ages that shaped so greatly Latin Christianity, <em>Lux fulgebit<\/em> is more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"557\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lux-fulgebit-557x400.jpg\" alt=\"Lux fulgebit\" class=\"wp-image-44796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lux-fulgebit-557x400.jpg 557w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lux-fulgebit-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lux-fulgebit-768x551.jpg 768w, https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/lux-fulgebit.jpg 1035w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><figcaption>Einsiedeln, Stiftsbibliothek, Codex 121(1151), p. 27 \u2013 Graduale \u2013 Notkeri Sequentiae (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-codices.ch\/en\/list\/one\/sbe\/0121\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.e-codices.ch\/en\/list\/one\/sbe\/0121<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The image above shows the beginning of <em>Lux fulgebit<\/em> in the manuscript Einsiedeln 121 (late 10th century). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gregor-und-taube.de\/Materialien\/Graduale\/B.05.2-Am-Morgen.pdf\">The reconstructed melody in modern notation can be found in this file.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Lux fulgebit<\/em> has already been sung in the little-known Christmas Morning Mass. Hence this is clearly a chant for the Octave, leading back to the beginning of this solemn week. <em>Hodie,<\/em> \u201ctoday\u201d: This is not just one particular day of the year. <em>Hodie<\/em> is rather a state of mind. What has happened at Christmas can be alive and present every day, in the Octave, in the new year, in everyone\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The syllable with the most notes is <em>non e<strong>-rit<\/strong> finis<\/em>, \u201cit will ne-<strong>ver<\/strong> end.\u201d Stretching the unstressed final syllable might be a hint at the meaning of the words: The words do not want to end, just as the Lord\u2019s kingdom will not end. This is what Christians believe: there will be no absolute darkness anymore, there will be a light forever. Like Mary, we can trust in that message as we start a new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Featured image:<\/em> Einsiedeln, Stiftsbibliothek, Codex 121(1151), p. 231 \u2013 <em>Graduale \u2013 Notkeri Sequentiae <\/em><br>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.e-codices.ch\/en\/list\/one\/sbe\/0121\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/www.e-codices.ch\/en\/list\/one\/sbe\/0121<\/a>) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short commentary on the Gregorian Chant introit antiphon for each Sunday and solemnity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":65,"featured_media":44822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[3119,19,3302,91,21],"tags":[1085,1038],"class_list":["post-44790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-plaza-new-ws","category-mass","category-introitus","category-liturgical-year","category-music-chant","tag-gregorian-chant","tag-introit"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
