Cathedral Choir

The Cathedral Choir is the resident choral ensemble of Saint Peter Cathedral. It is comprised of professional and volunteer singers from the greater Marquette area. The choir sings for the 10:30am Sunday Mass year round, which is live broadcast through Northern Apostle Radio on WNOA at 103.9FM, as well as for other parish and diocesan occasions. The choir regularly collaborates with members of the Marquette Symphony Orchestra and the Cathedral Brass. While primarily an “adult choir” with a minimum age requirement of at least 15 years old, this ensemble is open under special circumstances to students 5th – 8th grade who show exceptional musical talent, focus, and maturity.

http://www.benmusic.org/cathedral-choir.html

All members of this ensemble have automatic membership into the Diocesan Choir (see below).

Diocesan Choir

The Diocesan Choir sings for the major liturgies of the Diocese of Marquette, including the Chrism Mass and Ordinations. The choir accepts invitations from parishes across the Diocese to sing for liturgies of particular importance to the parish, as well as performing in concerts throughout the region. Recent liturgies of particular importance have included the Solemn Requiem Mass for the 150th Anniversary Commemoration of the Death of Venerable Bishop Baraga and the Mass of Christian Burial for Joyce Sample, the mother of Archbishop Alexander K. Sample.

St. Peter Cathedral Youth Schola

The St. Peter Cathedral Youth Schola sings for the weekly Father Marquette Catholic Academy PK-8 school Masses and is open via audition to all children 2nd – 8th grade of the parish whether homeschooled, public school, or students at FMCA. With the primary requirements of ability to hear and match pitch as well as beauty of vocal tone – this Youth Schola builds a strong musical foundation with each young singer teaching them the basics of music theory, sight reading, and vocal technique through the study primarily of Gregorian Chant. All of this serves to train these students to join more advanced choirs when they are older in Middle School, High School, and College and ultimately helps serve as a “funnel” to transition students directly into the Cathedral Choir when they are old enough (high school age usually). Chant serves as the perfect foundation because monophony is the simplest of musical textures. Monophony is a texture comprising a single line of musical tones: that is, a single melody, or intonation, or cantillation. It makes no difference whether there is one singer, or several, or many singers – so long as they all sing the same notes together, it is monophony. So whether the melody be basic or very ornate and challenging to sing, all the voices are mirroring one another on one single pitch at a time. This creates the perfect training module for young singers to precede more complex forms of vocal music that will come later that contain harmony and varying rhythms as seen with adult-level choral music whether that be polyphony, hymns, anthems, etc.

All members of this ensemble have automatic membership into the Diocesan Youth Schola (see below).

St. Cecilia Diocesan Youth Schola

The St. Cecilia Diocesan Youth Schola is composed of children from parishes throughout the fifteen counties of the Diocese of Marquette. Membership is open via audition to all children 2nd – 8th grade of the Diocese of Marquette. Previous musical instruction is not necessary but rather focusing on the requirements of ability to hear and match pitch as well as beauty of vocal tone is what we’re looking for. This ensemble provides children with the opportunity to sing sacred music in liturgical settings as well as in concert.

http://www.benmusic.org/st-cecilia-diocesan-youth-schola.html

One of the highlights and main focuses of the St. Cecilia Diocesan Youth Schola is participating in the annual Pueri Cantores Youth Choral Festival. Though the venue location sometimes changes from year to year, usually the closest festival for the Upper Peninsula MI will be down in Milwaukee WI, about just under 5 hours from Marquette, MI. Pueri Cantores is the official student choral organization of the Catholic Church. AFPC organizes Choral Festivals and Masses for parish and school choirs (grades 4-12) in cathedrals and other churches around the United States.

As a corporate partner of the National Catholic Educational Association, Pueri Cantores also provides professional opportunities for music teachers and no cost music education resources for the 6000 Catholic Schools in our nation. With 32 federations comprising 70,000 young singers worldwide, Pueri Cantores is the leading international student choral organization of the Roman Catholic Church, whose mission is to evangelize and catechize choristers through the medium of sacred music, aiding them in growing in their faith and rooting them ever deeper to the Church. Here in the U.S. the American Federation organizes choral festivals at the local and national levels held in the regional Cathedral, Basilica, or other church of architectural significance. Our Treble voice festivals (for grades 4-8), and Mixed Voice festivals (for grades 4-12) are in the context of a Eucharistic liturgy, and feature a broad repertoire of Gregorian chant, classical and modern polyphonic music, and contemporary compositions.

What’s a SCHOLA ?

Loosely translated as “a school of singers” the term Schola Cantorum was the trained papal choir during the Middle Ages, specializing in the performance of plainchant also known as Gregorian chant. This group was the ancestor of the Sistine Chapel Choir! Legend associates them with the papacy of Gregory the Great. In modern terms it is known as a group of singers who specialize in liturgical sacred music.

The Daily Hatch

Insight into what coldplay meant by “st. peter won’t call my name” (series on coldplay’s spiritual search, part 3).

But the doctor’s crime is never discovered. Later in the film, Judah reflects on the conversation his father had with Judah’s unbelieving Aunt May during a Jewish Sedar dinner  many years ago:

“Come on Sol, open your eyes. Six million Jews burned to death by the Nazi’s, and they got away with it because might makes right,” says Aunt May.

Sol replies, “May, how did they get away with it?”

Judah asks, “If a man kills, then what?”

Sol responds to his son, “Then in one way or another he will be punished.”

Aunt May comments, “I say if he can do it and get away with it and he chooses not to be bothered by the ethics, then he is home free.”

Judah’s final conclusion was that might did make right. He observed that one day, because of this conclusion, he woke up and the cloud of guilt was gone. He was, as his aunt said, “home free.”

The basic question Woody Allen is presenting to his own agnostic humanistic worldview is: If you really believe there is no God there to punish you in an afterlife, then why not murder if you can get away with it?  The secular humanist worldview that modern man has adopted does not work in the real world that God has created. God “ has planted eternity in the human heart…” (Ecclesiastes 3:11).  This is a direct result of our God-given conscience. The apostle Paul said it best in Romans 1:19, “ For that which is known about God is evident to them and made plain in their inner consciousness,  because God  has shown it to them” (Amplified Version).

It’s no wonder, then, that one of Allen’s fellow humanists would comment, “Certain moral truths — such as do not kill, do not steal, and do not lie — do have a special status of being not just ‘mere opinion’ but bulwarks of humanitarian action. I have no intention of saying, ‘I think Hitler was wrong.’ Hitler WAS wrong.” (Gloria Leitner, “A Perspective on Belief,”  The Humanist , May/June 1997, pp.38-39). Here Leitner is reasoning from her God-givne conscience and not from humanist philosophy. It wasn’t long before she received criticism. Humanist Abigail Ann Martin responded, “Neither am I an advocate of Hitler; however, by whose criteria is he evil?” (The Humanist, September/October 1997, p. 2.). Humanists don’t really have an intellectual basis for saying that Hitler was wrong, but their God-given conscience tells them that they are wrong on this issue.

Evidently  Chris Martin who said he resented dogmatic religious views a few years ago, has now written a grammy winning song that pictures an evil king being punished in an afterlife. Could it be that his God-given conscience prompted him to put that line in? Or do men like Hitler get off home free as Woody Allen suggested in  Crimes and Misdemeanors ?

Bob Robinson had some good insights:

Coldplay’s viva la vida – the will to power vs. shalom.

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can’t explain I know St Peter won’t call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world

Why does he feel that “St. Peter won’t call his name?”

Throughout the song, there is a clear indication that the character understands what philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche called “the will to power,” that most of us will often allow our need for achievement to outweigh our desire to be good to our fellow human beings. Our ambition and our striving to reach the highest possible position in life often does incredible damage to the harmony and love that should be the standard for our human existence.

The main character understands this. It was not right that he took power; it was also not right that he lost power. It was not right that he once ruled the world; it was also not right that he now sweeps the streets alone. It was not right that there was “never an honest word” while he “ruled the world.” And now, “for some reason,” he knows that St. Peter won’t call his name.

This concept of peace and harmony between human beings, where we do not will to have power, but we submit to one another out of love, seeking the very best for others, is an old biblical concept. It was what the Hebrews called “Shalom.”

“We call it peace, but it means far more than mere peace of mind or a cease-fire between enemies. In the Bible, shalom means universal flourishing, wholeness, and delight…the webbing together of God, humans, and all creation in justice, fulfillment, and delight. Shalom, in other words, is the way things ought to be.” (Plantinga,  Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be: The Breviary of Sin , p. 10)

So what the character in the song Viva La Vida is experiencing is this:  the lack of SHALOM . Plantinga has it right:  Things are NOT the way they are supposed to be .  There is evil where Shalom is supposed to be . I like the way Plantinga describes it:

“We might define evil as  any spoiling of shalom , any deviation from the way God wants things to be. Thinking along these lines, we can see that sin is a subset of evil; it’s any evil for which somebody is to blame – sin is  culpable evil … Sin grieves God, offends God, betrays God, and not just because God is touchy. God hates sin against himself, against neighbors, against the good creation, because sin breaks the peace… God is for shalom and  therefore  against sin.” (Plantinga,  Engaging God’s World , p. 51)

So why does the character feel that St. Peter won’t call his name? Because he has a deep-seated understanding that his life was full of sin, that he was culpable for his will to power. And, if God is just, there must be consequences to the destruction of shalom.

Fascinating song.

I think Martin is singing that God is dead, and because of the lies that were told in his reign, in God’s name, St Peter won’t call Gods name.
