Back to the sequence of numbered Sundays of the Year (Ordinary Form) and after Pentecost (Extraordinary Form). In just two weeks from this Sunday, we'll be approaching Advent.
FORTHCOMING
I just finished putting my binder together for the Masses of Christmas. This year, as part of our 20-minute prelude before each Mass, we'll be singing, not one, not two, but THREE songs in Italian. Two of them may be familiar to a good number of you (Tu scendi dalle stelle and Bel Bambino). The third one I am trying my hand at for the first time, and I like the way it sounds (I think you will, too). It's called La Pastorale di Couperin. The composer's name eludes me (my music is in the trunk of my car as I write this). We will also be doing one song in Latin (Tollite Hostias by Camille Saint-Saëns), and one in English (Coventry Carol, arrangement from The Oxford Book of Carols). We end the prelude with a French piece as organ and brass come together to perform Noël Suisse by Louis-Claude Daquin.
So now, without further ado...
