MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS
The Alleluia setting and the music for the Ordinary of the Mass (Gloria, Sanctus through Agnus Dei) are the same as the previous four Sundays.
Entrance hymn: Maroon 90 - He is risen, he is risen! (Listen)
Responsorial Psalm: I will praise your name for ever, my King and my God, music by yours truly
Offertory hymn: Maroon 599 - Ye watchers and ye holy ones (a familiar tune)
Communion anthem: Cantate Domino Canticum Novum, music by Vincent d'Indy
- This particular anthem could almost be considered a responsory, except it's intended for choral singing (the top note in the melody is a high F). Cantate Domino canticum novum; cantata Domino, omnis terra. This translates as Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. The entire piece is based on Psalm 96 (Psalm 95 in the Vulgate version).
Meditation hymn: Worship 443 - O Queen of Heaven / Regina Caeli, chant, Mode VI (familiar)
Recessional hymn: Maroon 88 - Jesus lives! Thy terrors now (which we sang three Sundays ago)
Peace,
