Jeffery & Fassler to Notre Dame

Well, this certainly seems like good news for Notre Dame, and, (ND being as influential as it has been, and not always to the good, in the past,) for Catholic Liturgical musicin the US in general.

Peter Jeffery and Margot Fassler, a married couple who specialize in sacred music and liturgy, will join the music and theology faculties of the University of Notre Dame.
Fassler has been appointed the Keough-Hesburgh Professor of Music History and Liturgy effective January 2010, and Jeffery has been appointed the Michael P. Grace Chair in Medieval Studies effective July 2009.
Fassler, a scholar of medieval and American sacred music, and the liturgy of the Latin Middle Ages, is the Henry Luce III fellow in theology at the Center of Theological Inquiry in Princeton, N.J.
