Here it is, folks, the music for the Sacred Heart Community Mass (First Friday) and Sunday IV of Lent, that is, Laetare ("Rejoice") Sunday at Sacred Heart Church.
Sunday IV of Lent is definitely my favorite Sunday in Lent in which we organists get to use a little more organ than the other four Sundays (I, II, III, and V) of Lent. OK, definitely not "Easter Mode". After all, we still have to wait three more weeks for the Alleluias to kick in. March 19, St. Joseph's Day, is the only time before Easter we'll get to use a Gloria, as that day is a solemnity, and only at the morning Mass, as that's a Saturday, and the evening Mass will anticipate Palm Sunday, well, in the Ordinary Form anyways. I also look forward to playing St. Joseph's Day each year, not only for the solemnity atmosphere, but for the zeppoles that follow. (Ah! The benefits of working here!) ;)
