An Abundance of Graces: Reflections on Sacrosanctum Concilium
Pamela E. Jackson
|
This thought-provoking, scholarly commentary takes a retrospective look at Sacrosanctum Concilium, and reflects on the Constitution in light of three questions:
• What is Sacrosanctum Concilium's vision of what is actually "going on" in the celebration of the liturgy—what is the purpose of the liturgy that was given to the Church?
• What is the nature of the liturgical changes called for by the Council Fathers?
• What aspects of Sacrosanctum Concilium still need to receive attention?

Sacred Music and Liturgical Reform: Treasures and Transformations
Anthony Ruff, OSB
|
This book is a high-level study of liturgical music in the reforms of the Second Vatican Council. The author, a preeminent scholar of liturgical music, proposes a hermeneutic for understanding the Second Vatican Council's teachings on worship music: a balanced "inconsistency" rather than absolutist and rationalistic coherence. Ruff's focus in this study is on preservation and renewal, arising from the Council's decrees mandating both the preservation of the inherited treasury of sacred music and the adaptation and expansion of this treasury to meet the changed requirements of the reformed liturgy.
