All people that on earth do dwell ("Old Hundredth") (Listen)

Psalm 95: If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts (Owen Alstott)
Your hands, O Lord, in days of old ("Mozart") (Listen)
- NOTE: yes, attributed to the great Mozart himself, though the Christian Science Hymnal attributes the tune to Schubert!

Sunday III

As you may have noticed last week, we switched to English Mass ordinary settings for this five week stretch, as we usually do during most of the season "through the year" (or as many call it, "Ordinary Time", which is really less ordinary than the phrase sounds).

MUSIC FOR HOLY MASS

ORDINARY OF THE MASS:
Gloria: Holy Angels Mass (BMP) (PDF) or said
Sanctus, Amen,and Agnus Dei: Heritage Mass (Owen Alstott)
Memorial Acclamation: We proclaim your death... from Holy Angels Mass (BMP) (PDF)

ALLELUIA I for Ordinary TIme (BMP) (PDF)

Hymns, etc.:
O love, how deep, how broad, how high ("Deus Tuorum Militum") (Listen)
Psalm 25: R./ Teach me your ways, O Lord (Sam Schmitt) (Listen)
Christ is made the sure foundation ("Westminster Abbey") (Listen)
- NOTE: I love the organist's intro in this listen link! :)  However, that church's hymnal dumbed down the text. :(
Communion music:
- Responsory: Psalm 34, R./ Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men (PDF)
- OR Anthem: In thee is gladness ("In der ist Freude", Giovanni Giacomo Gastoldi)
God, deigning man to be ("Little Cornard") (Listen)
