Chinese Sacred Music in Taiwan After Vatican II: Historical Review and Outcomes

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Catholic Church in Taiwan

Part of the book series: Christianity in Modern China ((CMC))

Abstract

Ancient Latin songs sung in liturgical ceremonies have long been recognized as a valued legacy in the Catholic Church. However, this tradition needed to be modified in order to encourage people without knowledge of Latin to become involved in the liturgy. The use of the vernacular language has been accepted officially since Sacrosanctum Concilium (the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy) was promulgated in 1963. The Catholic Church in Taiwan has expended considerable effort to implement these Vatican directives and encourage people with musical talent to write sacred music in order to meet the demand for liturgy in the vernacular. This research concentrates on the creation of sacred music that has been written in Mandarin Chinese after Vatican II. Suggestions for future development of Mandarin Chinese liturgical music in Taiwan are also proposed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    References to the discussion of Chinese liturgical music and songs appearing in this article should be made to http://www.catholic.org.tw/vp3.php

  2. 2.

    Both the Council of Trent (1953–1954) and Vatican II discussed issues of language use in the liturgy. While the Council of Trent recognized that the liturgy had a significant value for catechesis, it failed to draw any conclusion for practical life . The Council ended with firm and prudent words: “Though the Mass contains great instruction for the faithful people, yet it did not seem expedient to the Fathers that it should be celebrated everywhere in the vulgar tongue.” The turning point for vernacular use is Vatican II . Adopted from Institutio Generalis Missalis Romani, in Chinese ed. (Commission for Sacred Liturgy, CRBC, 2004, 10–12).

  3. 3.

    Rev. Joseph Wang Yu-rong and Msgr. Andrew Chao were responsible for the translation of the liturgy; Rev. Fr. Joseph Ly and Msgr. C.M. Anthony Lau were responsible for the liturgical music and songs. The music composed by Ly and Lau has been comprehensively used until today. Whether by the translation of the readings or by the musical works, both priests made a solid contribution to liturgical music in Taiwan.

  4. 4.

    Prof. Hsu and Fr. Wu were the two leaders who invited the musicians to the committee. Except for The Sacred Music by Ho-Jen Lee, most of the compositions were collected in Responsorial Psalms. Liturgical Songs for Funeral and Memorial Services and Liturgical Songs for Marriage are books for special occasions.
