Wow.  In two days, two fell swoops of awesome movement on the sacred music front:

On Friday (4/6), Archbishop Burke across the river in St. Louis announced that Father Samuel A. Weber, OSB is joining the new Institute of Sacred Worship for the archdiocese.  "the new office will offer to parish music directors and choirs several educational programs, including those in Gregorian Chant; singing of the Mass in English, particularly the Entrance Antiphon, the Responsorial Psalm and the Communion Antiphon; the Liturgy of the Hours; and the full implementation of the English translation of the Roman Missal."

Followed by an annoucement out of the Belleville Diocese just south of us that "'The Belleville Diocesan Schola' is being formed."

Rock on!  If I may, I ask for a prayer for approval of a related effort that I'm trying to put forward in our own parish.
