A treasure trove of largely unseen (by this generation) issues of The Caecilia, published in the United States by the predecessor organization of the Church Music Association of America, arrived yesterday (thank to the donor!).
The files are not prepped with bookmarks and the list obviously needs something like a table of contents because right now you can only click and guess. Still, I thought it would be good to post these now, just because they are so amazing.
What do they show? Well, that there was a thriving chant movement in the "old days," that it was working very hard, that it was putting out great material, that progress was being made. I do think there are reasons why its roots weren't deep enough to head off the onslaught but that is for another day.
