3 Easter Season and Its Music: An Ecclesiological Reading Bob Hurd Bob Hurd has served as a teacher, composer, and liturgist in various pastoral and academic settings. His music is featured in numerous hymnals in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and Australia. His articles have appeared in Worship, Liturgy, Celebration, Liturgical Ministry, and Today s Liturgy. He has a doctorate from De Paul University in Chicago. To begin this overview of Easter season, I invite you to consider two images, one from before and one from after the resurrection. The first image a woman in labor. Preparing his disciples in the Last Supper discourse for his impending death, Jesus compares the coming crisis to a woman giving birth. He says there is much travail during the hour of labor, but great joy at the birth of the child. Jesus connects this hour not only to his disciples anguish, but to his own passion, saying his hour has come (John 16:21 22, 32; 17:1). For this reason, some medieval crosses portray Christ as pregnant, his side bulging with the Church about to be born from his pierced side. The second image Christ ascending. The Acts of the Apostles describes the disciples looking intently at the sky as he was going, a posture underscored a moment later when two men in white appear, saying, why are you standing there looking at the sky (Acts 1:10 11). John Shea says it is not curiosity but panic that motivates them: If they could have, they would have reached up and pulled Jesus back to earth by his heels. What they were watching move ever farther away from them was the One who made it possible for them to love one another. What will happen now that he is gone? (John Shea, An Experience Named Spirit. Chicago: Thomas Moore Press, p. 29) Both images bear upon the question: what will happen now that he is gone? Simply put, what happens is the Church. Christ assumes a new mode of existence: in heaven at the right hand of the Father, on earth in his body, the Church. The readings of the Easter season are about this transition, teaching the first disciples and us how to abide in the risen Lord and be his Church. In one way, the season is Christological. Its touch points are Resurrection, Ascension, Pentecost a pattern mirrored in the Easter section of most hymnals: many resurrection songs, a few Ascension songs, and numerous Spirit songs. So, until the Sundays of the Ascension and Pentecost, songs celebrate the resurrection. We rightly expect to sing Jesus Christ Is Risen Today or Alleluia! Sing to Jesus not only on Easter Sunday but over several weeks. But in another way, the season is ecclesiological. Our musical choices should also engage worshippers in the mystery of being church, a mystery flowing directly from the resurrection. Today s Liturgy provides song suggestions for each Sunday, so I will not duplicate this. Instead I will elaborate the season s ecclesiological teaching and offer just a few song examples that speak to this teaching. Since I have provided Gospel-specific music for each of these Sundays in my collection One with the Risen Lord (hereafter OWTRL), I will refer to it along with the songs of other composers in Breaking Bread and Music Issue. Also included are songs from another collection, Dining in the Kingdom (hereafter DINING). Assuming that generic Easter season music will carry over from Sunday to Sunday, Gospel-specific songs can be used either for preparation, Communion, post-communion, or, in some cases, for sending forth. Songs with a hymn format can be used at all of these points except during Communion, which is best accompanied by songs with a refrain-verse structure, freeing eyes from books as people process. The ecclesiological touch points of the season, differing somewhat from the Resurrection-Ascension-Pentecost pattern, are: 1) Sundays 12

As we begin this solemn season, keep in mind that we are called to sing the liturgy, not merely to sing at the liturgy. Add solemnity and unity to the Ash Wednesday liturgy by singing the preface dialogues. No matter where people worship today, the dialogues are the same. There is no Penitential Act today. Barbara Bridge s Now Is the Acceptable Time is based on the second reading from Paul to the Corinthians. If possible, invite a lector who also can sing to proclaim the second reading. Reinforce the message and add solemnity by having the lector chant the last two sentences: Now is the acceptable time! Now is the day of salvation! Chant it to the solfège syllables, sol-mi. Use mi on the very last syllable. Psalm 51 is a common seasonal psalm for Lent, the responsorial psalm for today, and for the First Sunday of Lent. Versions by Tom Kendzia, Steve Angrisano, Jaime Cortez, and Bob Hurd appear in the Communion suggestions. Historical note: Fifty years ago on December 3, 1963, the Second Vatican Council approved its first document, Sacrosanctum Concilium (the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy [CSL]), by an overwhelming vote of 2,162 to 46. The fundamental principle of Sacrosanctum Concilium is the full and active participation of the people in liturgical celebrations demanded by the very nature of the liturgy (14). This year we celebrate our fiftieth Lent since the implementation of Sacrosanctum Concilium. Since then, the liturgy has been celebrated in the vernacular.

ENTRANCE ANTIPHONW wisdom 11:24, 25, 27 You are merciful to all, O Lord, and despise nothing that you have made. You overlook people s sins, to bring them to repentance, and you spare them, for you are the Lord our God. FIRST READINGJ joel 2:12 18 (219) The Lord is slow to anger and rich in kindness. The faithful return with their whole hearts, fasting and repenting. All God s people gather together before the Lord for mercy. RESPONSORIAL PSALM psalm 51:3 4, 5 6ab, 12 13, 14 & 17 Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned. SECOND READING 2 Corinthians 5:20 6:2 Paul implored the Corinthians to be reconciled to God right away. As Christ carried their sins upon the cross, so can they bear his holiness within them, if they turn to him. Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. GOSPEL ACCLAMATIONS see Psalm 95:8 If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts. GOSPEL Matthew 6:1 6, Jesus warned the disciples against performing religious acts only to attract the attention of others. In giving alms, praying and fasting, Christians are to conduct themselves in such a way that no one will know, except God, who sees all things. COMMUNION ANTIPHON cf. Psalm 1:2 3 He who ponders the law of the Lord day and night will yield fruit in due season. 33
