This Friday, May 1, is the First Friday, and our Sacred Heart Community Mass is at 6 PM. It is also the Optional Memorial of Saint Joseph the Worker. So, some hymns to Saint Joseph will be used at Mass this Friday, along with the seasonal Mass Ordinary (as we've been using since the Easter Vigil) and a seasonal Communion hymn.
MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS
The sung Ordinary of the Mass and the Alleluia are the same as what we have sung since the Easter Vigil. All hymn numbers will be in the red Worship hymnal for the weekend (except where noted).

UPDATE 8 PM V-1-15: Tune as written in the hymnal. Tune is based on a Gloria Patri that was written by the great motet composer Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina. Three centuries later, William Henry Monk (famous for the tune used with At That First Eucharist) wrote a hymn tune around pieces of Palestrina's Gloria Patri, then added the triple alleluia antiphon. It is that tune that we will be using this weekend.
Listen to the Palestrina Gloria Patri here.

Listen to The Strife Is O'er here.
ALSO, the postlude, which I used for a funeral on Friday morning and for the First Friday Mass, an improvisation of the hymn tune Victory (that is, The Strife Is O'er as described above) will also be performed as the postlude for the weekend Masses. I dubbed it Homage de Palestrina.
