Justine Ward and Solesmes
Dom Combe presents the reader a sharply focused profile of a dedicated and extraordinary woman of the 20th century, Henry James'sister-in-law, independent in spirit and passionately devoted for more than 60 years to the cause of Gregorian Chant and its liturgical implementation. Drawing on her voluminous correspondence, he traces the main events of her life following her conversion in 1904 to the Catholic Church. From these letters emerges the clear image of a fiercely strong-willed and gracious woman who pursued her ideals with relentless zeal.

Renewal and Resistance
The Roman Catholic Church has always been concerned with the quality of the music used in the liturgy, and the essays in this volume trace the church's efforts, during the nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth, to cultivate a more appropriate liturgical music for its Latin Rite. The task of restoration - expressed, for example, in the chant revival associated with the monks of Solesmes, the efforts of the Cecilian movement, and Pius X's determination to reform sacred music in the universal church - is a recurring theme in the book. Meanwhile resistance, particularly to the reforms decreed by the pope's 1903 motu proprio, also finds a voice in the volume. The essays collected here describe selected scenes and episodes from the unending story of imperfect human beings trying to express in their music the perfection of God.
Aportaciones teóricas y metodológicas a la educación musical
Las últimas décadas han sido, probablemente, las más productivas en la historia de la educación musical. En su transcurso, hemos sido testigos del surgimiento de numerosas propuestas metodológicas y teóricas. Este libro, compendio de los escritos de algunos de los pedagogos e investigadores más relevantes en el ámbito de la educación musical del siglo XX, como Dalcroze, Willems, Orff, Bresler, Hargreaves, Swanwick o Sloboda ofrece una visión panorámica del legado que hemos recibido y de algunas de las aportaciones más actuales. La obra se organiza en dos grandes apartados: el primero, dedicado a algunos de los grandes pedagogos musicales del siglo XX y, el segundo, a algunos de los autores que en los últimos años han contribuido, desde el ámbito de la investigación, a la educación musical. Organizado a partir de capítulos de idéntica estructura, este libro incluye una breve biografía de cada una de las personalidades seleccionadas; una referencia a sus principales aportaciones teóricas y/o metodológicas; referencias a las aplicaciones prácticas de cada aportación y, finalmente, un listado con sus aportaciones más significativas.
There Were Also Many Women There
Where are the women in liturgical history? In considering the influential liturgical movement in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century, Katharine E. Harmon reveals that the reality is analogous to Matthew's account of the crucifixion of Jesus: "there were also many women there" (Matt. 27:55). In this groundbreaking study, Harmon considers women's involvement in the movement. Here, readers explore the contributions of Maisie Ward, Dorothy Day, Catherine deHueck Doherty, Ade Bethune, Therese Mueller, and many others. Harmon shows how movements and institutions such as progressivism, Catholic women's organizations, Catholic Action, the American Grail Movement, and daily Catholic family life played a prominent role in the liturgical renewal. The historical record is clear that women were there, they ministered to the Mystical Body, and their important work must be recognized.
Sacred Liturgy
"The Sacred Liturgy is not a hobby for specialists. It is central to all our endeavors as disciples of Jesus Christ. This profound reality cannot be over emphasized. We must recognize the primacy of grace in our Christian life and work, and we must respect the reality that in this life the optimal encounter with Christ is in the Sacred Liturgy." With these words Bishop Dominique Rey of Fréjus-Toulon, France, opened Sacra Liturgia 2013, an international conference in which he brought together over twenty leading liturgists, cardinals, bishops and other scholars from around the world to emphasize the centrality of liturgical formation and celebration in the life and mission of the Church.
