September 2021

Welcome to our new music season at All Saints! We will continue growing as a choir and as a music ministry at large, in song and fellowship, working toward our goal to use our music to pray and to help others to pray.

This handbook will explain some general thoughts, requirements, expectations, and goals for the year ahead. In the back of the handbook, you will find a full schedule of rehearsals, liturgies, repertoire, and other helpful information.

The musical tradition of the universal Church is a treasure of inestimable value, greater even than that of any other art. The main reason for this preeminence is that, as sacred song closely bound to the text, it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy. - Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (1963)

The Church also needs musicians. How many sacred works have been composed through the centuries by people deeply imbued with the sense of the mystery! The faith of countless believers has been nourished by melodies flowing from the hearts of other believers, either introduced into the liturgy or used as an aid to dignified worship. In song, faith is experienced as vibrant joy, love, and confident expectation of the saving intervention of God. - Letter to Artists, St. John Paul II (1999)

God has bestowed upon his people the gift of song. God dwells within each human person, in the place where music takes its source. Indeed, God, the giver of song, is present whenever his people sing his praises. - Sing to the Lord: Music in Divine Worship (2007)

When they had sung the hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. - Matthew 26:30

And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as in all wisdom you teach and admonish one another, singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. - Colossians 4:15-16

Goals

• Develop and foster musical skills, including sight-singing, vocal training, ear training, hymn singing, and unison singing • Grow our choir by welcoming new members • Explore the current choral library further• Foster prayer and participation in sung liturgy• Continue to develop bilingual repertoire for larger parish celebrations/liturgies

MembersThe All Saints Parish Choir is comprised of parishioners who have a desire to share their gift of song. The volunteer mixed choir (SATB) meets twice a week, once to rehearse and once to sing at Mass, throughout the choir season. Anyone of high school age or older interested in singing is welcome. The ability to read music is not required, but it is helpful. Those in the parish wishing to join the choir seasonally for Christmas or Easter should contact the director, there are additional rehearsals scheduled for these liturgies (announced on the parish website or in the bulletin).

AttendanceConsistent attendance is necessary to build the choir community and to develop the sound and musicianship of the ensemble. As a norm, attendance at weekly practice is your ticket to sing on Sunday morning. Regular attendance at Mass is also expected. From time to time, occasions will arise that will prevent rehearsal or Mass attendance. In such situations, please contact the director as soon as possible via e-mail, phone, or text message.

The choir season will run from Thursday, September 23, 2021 until Sunday, June 19, 2022. (Body and Blood of Christ). Rehearsals will end on Thursday, June 16, 2022.

RehearsalsRegular choir rehearsals are held on Thursday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 pm in the Church or the School Music Room, beginning on Thursday, September 23, 2021. Rehearsals begin promptly at 7:30 pm with a vocal warm-up. Please be punctual and prepared. It is highly encouraged that you arrive a few minutes early so that you will be ready when rehearsal starts. Please have a pencil (or two, so you can share!) ready at each rehearsal. Make marks and notes in your music (octavo, hymnal, etc.) in pencil only.

The rehearsal order will be posted on the white board and/or e-mailed before the rehearsal. As you arrive early for rehearsal, organize your music in rehearsal order to save valuable time.

Extra rehearsals may be added in preparation for Christmas, the Triduum, or other special events. Times and locations for additional rehearsals will be announced as needed.

If you know you will not be present for a rehearsal, please contact the director so he can plan accordingly.

Distribution and Collection of Music:The music assistant and the music director distribute choral octavos, mass settings, hymnals, and other music via the existing cubby system. All music is distributed via choir cubbies in the school music room. Each singer is assigned a number which corresponds to each numbered piece of music and each singer’s music cubby. Prior to each week’s rehearsal, please collect the music in your cubby. At the end of rehearsal, singers may return the music to his/her cubby or may take it home for further practice. Music is collected regularly throughout the year.

As the choir year begins, music will be handed out individually at the beginning of each rehearsal. Please check with Tim or Amy.

Please return pieces either after Mass on Sunday or at the following Thursday rehearsal.

All music belongs to All Saints Church Office of Music and Liturgy.

All choral music must be returned when asked for by the director and/or assistant. All music will be collected at the end of the choir season in June. Members may be

charged for replacement copies if music is lost or not returned.

MusicThe All Saints music ministry presents a diverse musical program, incorporating music from many different genres and styles, spanning from Gregorian Chant to newly composed music. All Saints has a large music library allowing for flexibility in music selection and room for growth. Through purchases of new music and further exploration of the current library, the All Saints Parish Choir aims to expand its repertoire.

YZ

BlogIn addition to regular e-mail communication, information about the choir, upcoming repertoire, important feasts, etc. will be posted on the All Saints Music Ministry blog, www.allsaintsvamusic.weebly.com. Included on the blog will be recordings of repertoire, part-learning mp3 files, short blog posts about music and liturgy, and links to helpful resources.

Choir OfficersVolunteers who assist the Director and promote the choir and music ministry are choir officers.

1. Choir Librarian - This person assists with the choral music library. He/she maintains the library catalog, numbers, and stamps new music.

2. Choir Secretary/Treasurer - This person compiles and maintains a choir roster (complete with address, e-mail, phone information), collects money for various occasions (choir celebrations, funerals, social activity, etc.), and is involved with recruitment and choir sponsored events.

3. Choir Social Chair - This person (and any assistants) organizes, arranges, and supervises social gatherings throughout the year, including, but not limited to, a Christmas party, end-of-year gathering, and monthly birthday celebrations.

Inclement WeatherIn the case of bad weather, especially during the winter season, rehearsal will automatically be canceled if Prince William County Public Schools close for the day or have canceled afternoon/evening activities. The Director may choose to cancel rehearsal even if the school systems have not closed. An e-mail or phone call will be sent out no later than 4:00 pm regarding rehearsal status. Safety is the highest priority.

MiscellaneousAttire: We serve a genuine liturgical function and therefore what we wear is important. The choir should wear “clean, presentable, and modest clothing,” as directed in Sing to the Lord (par. 32-33). No flip-flops, sneakers, shorts, jeans, leggings, t-shirts, etc. for Sunday Mass or other liturgies. As a choir, we should strive to put our best appearance forward as we not only represent ourselves, but the music ministry and the parish as well. The Parish Choir normally wears choir robes. Each singer is assigned a robe. For some liturgies and occasions, an alternate dress code is given. In these cases, the dress code will be announced prior to each event.

Fragrance Sensitivity: Singing in a choir means being in close proximity to one another. Please refrain from using perfumes, colognes, or heavily scented hand creams, etc. Many are sensitive to these scents. All are encouraged to maintain good personal hygiene practices.

Sickness Policy and COVID-19During the current global pandemic, the health and safety of all is a top priority. If you are feeling sick, are experiencing symptoms of Covid-19 (fever, cough, runny nose, etc.), or believe you may have been exposed to someone who does, do not attend rehearsal or come to sing at Mass. Please contact the director to let him know of your absence. If you develop symptoms soon after a rehearsal or Mass, please contact the director so we can conduct contact tracing. For current Covid realted mitigation, check with the CDC website, Arlington Diocese website or All Saints Catholic Church website.

MasksFace masks are encouraged. Per diocesan policy, if you are vaccinated against COVID-19, you do not need to wear a mask. If you are unvaccinated, you are strongly encouraged to wear a face mask. Please no masks with vents, bandannas or gators, as these are proven to not be effective mitigation.

See resources about singing during pandemic from the American Choral Directors Association: https://acda.org/resources-for-choral-professionals-during-a-pandemic

We will distance singers and limit active rehearsal time as needed.

ResourcesThe following pages contain helpful resources for basic music theory, vocal production, liturgy, and prayers for musicians.

Care of the human VoiCe

Of all musicians, singers are the ones whose instrument is a part of the body and not an external contraption of metal or wood. Any instrument needs good care and regular preventative maintenance; the vocal instrument is no exception. Complicating this issue is the reality that we cannot easily examine the inner workings of the instrument for stress or damage; all we can do is evaluate

based on how we feel at any given moment. Medications to treat bodily illness, effective as they may be for their intended purpose, sometimes have a negative effect on the voice itself. Therefore preventative maintenance is by far the best route to pursue - take care of your body, head to toe, and your vocal instrument will in most cases take care of itself. You have doubtless heard it before, many times: Eat a sensible and balanced died, and avoid excessive caffeine, refined sugars and starches, and alcohol. Exercise regularly. Get plenty of rest. Avoid stress. Mental and emotional anxieties have profound and immediate effects on the body in general and tend to manifest very quickly in the voice and throat. Be aware of how you use your voice in non-singing situations. The best vocal singing technique can be completely undone by abuse of the vocal cords and poor vocal speaking technique. Above all, stay well hydrated, all the time, not just when you are singing. It cannot be stressed too much: You cannot care for your voice without caring for your whole self.

E. The Choir 28. The Second Vatican Council stated emphatically that choirs must be diligently promoted while ensuring that “the whole body of the faithful may be able to contribute that active participation which is rightly theirs. . . .”41 The choir must not minimize the musical participation of the faithful. The congregation commonly sings unison melodies, which are more suitable for generally unrehearsed community singing. This is the primary song of the Liturgy. Choirs and ensembles, on the other hand, comprise persons drawn from the community who possess the requisite musical skills and a commitment to the established schedule of rehearsals and Liturgies. Thus, they are able to enrich the celebration by adding musical elements beyond the capabilities of the congregation alone.

29. Choirs (and ensembles—another form of choir that commonly includes a combination of singers and instrumentalists) exercise their ministry in various ways. An important ministerial role of the choir or ensemble is to sing various parts of the Mass in dialogue or alternation with the congregation. Some parts of the Mass that have the character of a litany, such as the Kyrie and the Agnus Dei, are clearly intended to be sung in this manner. Other Mass parts may also be sung in dialogue or alternation, especially the Gloria, the Creed, and the three processional songs: the Entrance, the Preparation of the Gifts, and Communion. This approach often takes the form of a

congregational refrain with verses sung by the choir. Choirs may also enrich congregational singing by adding harmonies and descants. 30. At times, the choir performs its ministry by singing alone. The choir may draw on the treasury of sacred music, singing compositions by composers of various periods and in various musical styles, as well as music that expresses the faith of the various cultures that enrich the Church. Appropriate times where the choir might commonly sing alone include a prelude before Mass, the Entrance chant, the Preparation of the Gifts, during the Communion procession or after the reception of Communion, and the recessional. Other appropriate examples are given in the section of this document entitled “Music and the Structure of the Mass” (nos. 137-199). The music of the choir must always be appropriate to the Liturgy, either by being a proper liturgical text or by expressing themes appropriate to the Liturgy.

31. When the choir is not exercising its particular role, it joins the congregation in song. The choir’s role in this case is not to lead congregational singing, but to sing with the congregation, which sings on its own or under the leadership of the organ or other instruments.

32. Choir members, like all liturgical ministers, should exercise their ministry with evident faith and should participate in the entire liturgical celebration, recognizing that they are servants of the Liturgy and members of the gathered assembly.

33. Choir and ensemble members may dress in albs or choir robes, but always in clean, presentable, and modest clothing. Cassock and surplice, being clerical attire, are not recommended as choir vesture.

Prayer of Preparation

God, the maker of all that is, of all that can be seen, of all that can be heard, hear the prayer of your people, and make our voices resound with your praises, that they might please you with words and melodies that seek to show the wonder that is you.Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

music notation is the art ofrecording music in written form.

modern music notation is a productof centuries of transformation...

and it is neither efficient nor intuitive!

pitch is the highness orlowness of a sound.

the system of musical notationwe use is essentially a stylizedgraph of pitch versus time.

the five lines on which notesappear is called a staff.

the white notes on the keyboardare labeled with letters from A to G.

notation is based on the piano keyboard;lines and spaces on the staff represent

the white notes on the keyboard.

the clef determines what notes each staffline corresponds to. the four modern

clefs are shown here; the note displayedon each staff corresponds to middle c.

To notate theblack noteson the piano

keyboard, we useaccidentals,which alter thenote by one or

two half steps.

a half step isthe distancebetween two

adjacent keyson the piano

keyboard,regardless

of what colorthe keys are.

these symbols are placed tothe left of the note that theyaffect, and they apply to all the

notes on that line or spacefor the rest of the measure.

two notes which have the samepitch (for example, f sharp and

g flat) are called enharmonics.

middle c is the c that is closest tothe middle of the piano keyboard.

The double sharp raises thenote by two half steps.

The double flat lowersthe note by two half steps.

The sharp raises thenote by one half step.

The natural cancels outany previous accidental.

The flat lowers thenote by one half step.

while pitch is pretty clearly notated on avertical axis, note length is indicated using a

somewhat arcane system involvingnoteheads, stems and flags.

in this chart, each successive type of note is half as longas the note to its left. none of these notes has a standardlength; a half note in one piece may be the same length as

an eighth note in a different piece.

note lengths in a pieceare indicated by the tempomarking at the beginning

of a piece or section.

a rest is a period ofsilence that a length

which corresponds to aparticular note.

usually rests areplaced on the staff at a

particular verticalposition as shown here.

the augmentation dot is a dot placed to theright of a notehead. though small, this dotwields some serious power: it adds half

of the original note’s length!

multiple dots can also be added,each one adding half of the

previously added value.

q. q e= + q.. q e= + x+ q e= + x+q... +xK

ties are curved marks which connecttwo notes together to createa single, extended sound.

to tie more than two notes together,draw ties between each note; do not

use a single, extended tie.

a tuplet is any non-standard division of anote. these are usually written as a groupof notes delineated with a bracket and

a number showing the division being made.

most tuplets are simple divisions, likethe triplets to the left. but anything ispossible! chopin, for example, wouldoften go to town with these things.

a fundamental feature ofmost pieces of music is a

consistent rhythmic pulse. this pulse is called the beat,

and a single pulseis called a beat unit.

there are two types of beat units:those containing two divisions,

called simple beat units...

...and those containingthree divisions,

called compound beat units.

orgotten (1996)

in music, beats are organized into patterns of accented and unaccented beat units.in fact, if you listen to a sequence of repeated notes, your brain will probably start toperceive the notes as groups of two, three, or four, even if no accents are present!

these groups are called measures,and they are delineated with barlines.

the organizationof beat units

and measures ina piece is calledmeter. Meter isdescribed by twonumbers placedat the beginningof the piece:

the time signature.

by looking at the topnumber of the time signature,you can tell two things aboutthe meter: whether it’s simpleor compound, and how many

beats are in a measure.

in fact, wouldn’t this bean easier way to notate

compound meters?

sorry... the man saysyou have to do itthe other way.

the bottom number indicates the type ofnote which serves as the division.to get the beat unit, use the note thatis equal to three of these notes.in a compound meter, the beat unit isalways a dotted note!

compound TIME SIGNATURES are kind of lying to you.

notes that have flags canbe grouped together by usingbeams in place of flags.

however, beaming is only used to group notes within beats.for the most part, you shouldn’t beam notes between beats,

nor should you tie notes within beats.
