New York —The Interna tional Gregorian Congress to be held in St. Patrick's Cathedral June 1, 2, and 3 will, it is confidently anticipated, be the greatest of all such gatherings, which have become annual events ever since the appearance of the famous Motu Proprio of Pope Pius X, on church music in 1903. Rome, Strass burg, and Lourdes are' among the cities in which these Gregorian Con gresses have been held in late years, the singing of the Credo at the Shrine of the Apparition at Lourdes, on the occasion of the Congress two years ago, being perhaps the most widely appreciated public demonstration of the ancient, and yet always modern, music of the church which has as yet been given. Revival of the Gregorian. It will be interesting to trace briefly the history of the modern movement to revive interest in Gregorian music. Although the most practical efforts looking toward this reform were in spired by the Motu Proprio of Pius X, it ought not to be forgotten that it was Pope Pius IX, who as early as 1846, urged the immediate and univer sal restoration of the traditional music of the church, which had fallen into a sad state of corruption—a corruption which began as long ago as the four teenth century, when harmonized singing began successfully to be prac ticed. The gradual decay of true church music is a matter of history, and a very long story at that, as it extends over a period of five hundred years. The flrBt result of the appeal of Pius IX, was the appearance of the Mechlin (Malinps) edition of church music in 1S4S. •T The Irish Standard Preferred Parish Trading List THE MERCHANTS, Whose announcements are Herein, are Leaden in their Line of Business in their Respective Parishes.

PAUL ft. dement'* $ari*fy Advertise in Dak 799 Cedar 8939 Unfortunately this edition was cop ied from the Roman edition of 1614— that is, the Gradual of Pope Paul V., which had been based upon the abbre viated copy left by Palestrina's suc cessor Giovanelli, and for the Anti phoner was adopted the Lichtenstein edition printed in Venice in 1580. A heated controversy sprang up about these books. Those acquainted with the ancient manuscripts rushed into the fray to support the argument that the new version was not at all faithful to the true plain song, which had extended through the earliest times throughout Europe until the six teenth century. This argument led to a partial at tempt to reform, although even this partial step was delayed until 1851, in which year an edition was issued by the Rheims-Cambrai Commission, in which the editors, taking for their original source an early twelfth cen tury manuscript discovered at Mont pellier, tried to reproduce the original chant. These editors were, however, infect ed with the false idea of correcting what they considered to be the mis takes of mediaeval singers, so that al though the actual notes given in this edition are fairly correct there afe so many alterations in the grouping of the notes (a fact which showed the editors to be ignorant of the rhythm of Gregorian music), and so many omissions of phrases, that the edition cannot be fully trusted. Other editions, such as those of Di jon, Digne and Rennes were reprints of the corrupt seventeenth century versions, and carried the infection of their mistakes into many dioceses. As Abbe Bonhomme said of these ver sions, "They set the words of the liturgy to a chant which Is of recent For pu^tj and Watches CALL ON 'J. A.

French Ecclesiastics kept on working at the subject. A con troversy raged hotly for years, until, in 1878, the appearance of the Ratisbon edition brought matters to a crisis. Origin of Plain Song. Two years later Dom Pothier pub lished "Los Melodies Gregoriennes." In that book he went boldy to the root of the matter, gathering together all the results of the antiquarian studies, which had accumulated during the previous half-century, and put the study of plain song on the secure basis of an appeal to the most ancient doc uments, both as regards notation and rendition. To discover the origin of plain song was his first thought. On his answer to this query depended the correct renditions of the melodies, and an ex planation of what seemed to be de fects to the modernist. After a diligent research he decided that plain song was originally a sim ple recitative to a prose text that a prose text has a rhythm of its own, quite distinct from the rhythm of poe try or modern music and that the rendition of plain song must therefore necessarily follow this prose rhythm and not be subjected to the laws of an alien art This truth seems scarcely to be a discovery or even a rediscovery, but yet we must admit that the ordinarily accepted idea of free-rhythm means free from rhythm, and in this mis understanding we can easily detect the cause of all the trouble that has retarded the progress of the church's own music, viz—Gregorian Chant. There are but two kinds of time, viz— two and three, binary and ternary, er more commonly spoken of as dou ble and triRle. When these two kinds of time alternate irregularly, then we fi&ye free-rhythm. sinspje tect% 23d ye£ ii iiig gffiat simplicity lies the difficulty now happily being overcome, thanks to the Benedictioas of Solea mes. After the appearance of "Lea Melodies Gregoriennes" (which seemed at once to supply what was wanted) church musicians in all parts of tha world began to get together and aa immediate agreement became immi nent. Preparations for Cengrese. The massed rehearsals already held have proved eminently successful, aad these will continue, under the direo tion of such experts as the Rev. Dom Clement Donovan, O. P., until the twa official directors of the Congress ar rive. As has already been widely annouuced, these are the Rev. Dom An dre Mocquereau, O. S. B. and the Very Rev. Dom Augustin Gatard, O. S. B. the former sometime Prior of Soles mes. and now Master of the Choir of St. Peter's Abbey, of Solesmes (now exiled in the Isle of Wight) and Edi tor of the Musical Paleography, a stu pendous work of such immense im portance as to necessitate its trans lation into every language in the world. The disabled Imperator, which was to have brought these two Monks of Solesmes to these shores has been taken off and the Mauretania will prob ably bring them early in May. From the moment of their arrival rehearsals will be the order of the day. These will be held at Philadelphia, lialtimore and other centers which will send large contingents of chanters to this Congress. No stone is to be left un turned to make a brilliant succoss of tho seven services scheduled to bo held at the Metropolitan Cathedral whilst tho special committoe recently appointed by Ilis Graco, Achbishop Hayes, to supervise all that has been arranged to tako place consists of the Right Reverend Msgr. McGhee, the Right Reverend Msgr. Sweeney and the Rev. Dr. McMahon, all members of the Arch-diocesan Music Commis sion. MODS.

About this time last year teas of thousands of soliders were helag feted and hurrahed in home-coming parades. Now, many thousands of then are still parading, but around city streets look ing for work. A survey just com pleted by the ex-service men's em ployment service of the Knights of Columbus shows that a large number of men, after a year in civilian life, have failed to connect with permanent jobs. The Knights, this week, will at tempt to recruit men for agricultural employment. They estimate that hun dreds of ex-Bervice men from farms of the Eastern states have remained in the large cities where they were de mobilized and thaVAbe advent of sum mer will cause these men to look back to the farms. The Knights have or ganized information that will safely guide the men back to their right place in agriculture. The K. C. employment report for the month of April, covering Eastern and Midwest States shows that 14,536 men were placed, while 19,450 oppor tunities were received. These figures are duplicated by the western division of the K. \C. employment service. The K. C. reqently raised the minimum solicit for a single man to ?20 per week tho aver age vby for jobs found is $32.50 per week. iv. j. reqi wage th/ey from $jf8 1 The Knights find the greatest num ber of "repeaters"—men who return to their employment huts at intervals, among those employed by small con cerns in large cities.
