Human
beings
sang
long
before
they
were
able
to
express
their
thoughts,
voicing
in
simple
imitation
sounds
they
heard
in
nature,
the
twitter
of
birds,
the
rustle
of
leaves,
the
howling
of
coyotes.
Primitive
man
sang
to
invoke
the
gods
with
prayers
and
incantations,
to
celebrate
rites
of
passage,
to
recount
history
and
heroics.
There
is
no
human
settlement,
no
matter
how
distant
or
isolated,
that
does
not
sing.
Congregations
of
Jews
in
500
BC
sang
King
David's
Psalms
and
The
Song
of
Solomon.
After
the
4th
Century
when
Christianity
was
recognized
as
the
official
religion
of
the
Roman
Empire,
the
Catholic
Church
developed
Western
music
for
the
next
thirteen
centuries,
evolving
from
plainchant
to
highly
developed
polyphonic
choral
style.
The
aim
of
the
Cathedral
of
Our
Lady
of
the
Angels'
music
ministry,
under
Music
Director
Frank
Brownstead,
is
to
develop
a
sacred
music
program
that
encompasses
the
beautiful
traditions
of
the
Church
and
the
multiple
cultural
traditions
of
the
Archdiocese.
In
the
Catholic
context
music
is
sung
prayer,
and
music
and
liturgy
are
handmaidens.

Frank Brownstead
is the Director of Music at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the
Angels. He holds the Master of Sacred
Music Degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York. He
has served as Music Coordinator in the Office for Worship,
parish musician (most recently at St. Paul the Apostle Church
in Westwood) and educator. He has been on the faculty of Mount
St. Mary’s College since 1979. He coordinated and conducted
the music for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Los Angeles
in 1987.
Brownstead
is the recipient of the Laudatus Award from the Archdiocese of
Los Angeles, the Saint Andrew’s Abbey Sacred Arts Award, and
the National Pastoral Musicians “Musician of the Year” Award
(2001). He is also on the Board of Directors of the Shakespeare
Festival Los Angeles. Mr. Brownstead has also worked extensively
in the recording of liturgical music.

Central to the Cathedral’s music mission is to enhance worship by giving
voice to the glory and beauty of the liturgy. This is accomplished by the development
of the singing assembly, the principal musical body of the faithful. The voices
of the Cathedral Choir and Chorale (Spanish Choir) and that of the assembly
exist in a dynamic relationship. The choirs both encourage the singing
of the assembly and add beauty to the liturgy, prefiguring the gathering of
the saints and angelic choirs in the New Jesusalem.
Each Sunday at the 10:00 a.m. Mass, the Cathedral Choir sings under the direction
of Frank Brownstead, Director of Music. The Chorale, under the direction
of Antonio Espinal, sings at the 12:30 p.m. Spanish Mass. Samuel Soria
is the Cathedral Organist.
The Cathedral Choir and the Chorale are open to volunteers by audition.
