Why do we sing them at Mass? A: Polyphony is a musical term for a piece that has two or more melodies. Polyphonic music was at its height during the Renaissance. According to the Church s teaching, Sacred Polyphony is the first runner-up, of course the first place will always goes to Gregorian Chant. Most of the time, these pieces are treated as museum pieces, they are only sung during a concert. But the composers intended them to be sung during Mass and the texts are meant to be meditated. We are very blessed to have many wonderful singers in our choirs and we will be hearing some polyphonic pieces during the Sacred Triduum. We will be providing translation booklets so that we can all understand the meaning of the lyrics and enter deeper into prayer. One of the very special choral works is Antonio Lott s Mass for Three Voices and it will be sung on Holy Thursday in place of the Latin Mass parts. Polyphonic Mass parts are rarely sung at Mass nowadays, and we are so blessed that the Men s Schola will be singing one.
