The Second Vatican Council impacted the use of liturgical music within religious communities. Two U.S. Trappist monasteries, New Melleray Abbey in Dubuque, Iowa, and Gethsemani Abbey in Bardstown, Kentucky, evidenced distinctive approaches to the musical freedom resulting from the Vatican II reforms. New Melleray incorporated contemporary folk music and instruments. At Gethsemani, Father Chrysogonus Waddell pioneered the use of Gregorian notation and English psalmody. The musical changes had a profound effect on the Trappists’ celebration of the Mass and the praying of the Liturgy of the Hours.

(excerpt) "In this presentation I bring together two theological strands which stand at the heart of the mystery of Christ and of the Church: prophetic ministry and the paschal mystery. I weave these two areas of thought together to build a foundation for exploring liturgy as the central prophetic act of the Church. I then use this perspective as the lens through which to explore liturgical music as a prophetic ministry that challenges the Church to be faithful to that death-resurrection mystery into which she has been baptized."
