So... here we go again.
The place: Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God Academy, Syracuse, New York.
The dates: from December thirtieth, MMIX, to January third, MMX. This will be the Jam that bridged two years -- as one year ends in music and the praise of God, in the same another begins.... may it always be so, whether we have a New-Year Jam every year or not.
The music: Josquin desPrez' Missa Pange Lingua. Claudio Monteverdi's Christe Redemptor Omnium from the Christmas Vespers. And Christmas carols galore. We'll select more specifically for the Masses as we draw closer to the actual dates but if you want to put in your suggestions please start making them now. My first vote goes for the Huron Carol or possibly the wonderful Corde Natus ex Parentis.
Anybody?... :)
Let there be music!
Jam Session, n. A gathering of musical young parishioners of SSPX chapels (q.v. Jam-Sessioner), at which a pre-rehearsed polyphonic Mass is put together and performed, along with random acts of music between rehearsals and keeping impossible hours. Hikes, bonfires and other such delightful activities may also be included.
