James Chepponis,
"Should We Sing of Mary on the Fourth
Sunday of Easter?" Pastoral Music ( December-January 2003):
18-20.
Frequently, the selection of music for
liturgy at a Sunday during one of the
"Marian months" sets liturgists on one side
and advocates of Marian devotion on the other. The recent Directory of
Popular Piety and Liturgy suggests that some traditional Marian hymns might be revised to
include a biblical and ecclesial dimension,
and that the Marian seasons could be harmonized with the current liturgical season.
Five sound liturgical considerations are
given indicating how the Marian presence
can be highlighted in the liturgy, as well as
five suggestions for selecting music both
in accord with the spirit of the liturgy and with Marian devotion. Among the
suggestions are a close examination of the suitability of a text, the use of
a traditional hymn with a Marian reference or "flavor," and the possibility
of a Marian "hymn festival." |
