Falls
on a Sunday this year! Masses are the regular Sunday schedule
(Saturday at 5 PM; Sunday at 7:30, 9, and 11:15 AM). Brass and singers
are off. I will be leading the singing from the console this weekend.
MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS
Ordinary: Mass VIII (Gl); Mass XVIII (S, Ag); Mortem Tuam; Dresden Amen
Psalm 67: R./ May God bless us in his mercy (Owen Alstott)
Alleluia "Divinum Mysterium" (Mode V, adapt. BMP) (PDF)
Voluntaries:
Prelude: improvised variations on Forest Green
Elevations: hybrid improvisations on two Ave Maria settings (Mode I and Victoria)
Postlude: Hallelujah (from "Messiah"/Handel) (organ solo reduction)
Hymns, etc.:
While shepherds watched their flocks by night (Maroon hymnal, #13, first tune)
The first Nowell (Maroon hymnal, #30)
Ave Maria (Bach/Gounod) (key of C for this basso profundo)
In the bleak midwinter (Maroon hymnal, #44)
Angels we have heard on high (Maroon hymnal, #42)
Side note: I was reading in a thread on one of the Facebook pages I frequent that some church (Catholic) used Angels we have heard on high in place of the Gloria. Let me emphasize this: Angels we have heard on high is NOT the Gloria. It is simply a Christmas carol with the line Gloria in excelsis Deo incorporated within. It is perfectly appropriate as a hymn, but never in place of the Gloria or any Mass Ordinary. Here endeth the rant.
