Some glimpses of Tuesday at the Colloquium:
 |
| After morning prayer and breakfast, the first session is a chant rehearsal: at the men’s schola session taught by Wilko Brouwers, the curve of a neume on the paper is echoed by its counterpart outside. |
 |
| In Tuesday’s plenary address, Dr. Mahrt describes the “musical shape” of the liturgy. |
 |
| Colleen Crafton from the Ward Center in Richmond, VA brought her own choristers (!) to demonstrate a Ward Method lesson. |
 |
| Photographer Rene Zajner listens in as David Hughes (of St. Mary’s, Norwalk) and some colloquium participants try out new compositions the latter have brought. |
 |
| Scott Turkington (and his double, through the looking-glass) present a session on conducting polyphony. |
 |
| As the polyphony rehearsals begin, Charles Cole from the London Oratory School brings the motet choir together with some exercises. |
And after that session, it is time to put things into practice, to sing for Mass at the Pro-Cathedral of St. John.
Horst Buchholz (our host this week at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis) directs the Mozart choir in Tallis’ This is my commandment:
 |
| And with Holst’s famous tune, the Mass is ended. |
[UPDATE: Joel Morehouse has additional photos of the Mass and information on the music presented at our sister site New Liturgical Movement.]
